I won a CFeMmy!
Dec 22
With a very stunned look on my face, I read that my blog post "Adobe Should Stop Making CF Like Java" was voted best blog post of 2006 at the CFeMmys! Holy cow! Thanks folks.
To be fair, I can't take credit for the underlying idea, as it actually emerged from long series of conversations between myself, Hal Helms, and Mike Britton while we were working together in Sarasota, FL. I just happened to be the one to put the idea on my blog.
I still feel like the post was on target. After playing with Ruby, which is very cool, fully OO, dynamically typed, and with no interfaces or other such Java-esque trappings, it really drives home that CF could do just fine without them. We'll just have to see what Adobe actually decides to do as CFMX 8 takes shape.
