Tabtight professional, free when you need it, VPN service. How often do you see a question asked on a list, "does anyone know where I can find CFML resources about xxx", or "what tools are available to do yyy?". Now you have one place you can point people to answer most such questions. See the bottom of this page for additional background information on this service. This is (for now) one long page. Please use the category links below or your browser "find" feature (ctrl- f) to search for something specific, not the search box on the right, which searches the entire carehart. The Categories (first resources, then tools). I don't here recommend any tools (since needs are so different between folks), and I can't offer an exhaustive list of all tools for all developers, but I do want to help list some of the alternatives available in a variety of categories that are either written for, or are useful by, CF developers. In some cases, I am able to offer below links to other sites that offer reviews of some of these tools. Additions/Corrections. This is a perpetual work in progress. While I don't check the list with any guaranteed regularity, I do run various link check tools occasionally, and also manually review each link in each section on occasion. I will strike out any links which I find no longer work, or when there are many "striken" entries in a section, I will create a new entry tracking seemingly "defunct" tools/resources. If I ever strike out something that you think should not be, just let me know. If a tool clearly lists when it was last updated, I try to indicate if it has not been updated in more than a few years, and I'll indicate when that check was made. I welcome additions or corrections to this list. If you have any to offer, please let me know. Be sure to clarify that you're providing additional items for "the 'CF4. CFML- Oriented Resources. CFML Blog Aggregators (and bloggers) [link]. There are literally hundreds of blogs from CFML/CF developers. Some blogs are popular and known by most, while some less popular ones may well offer some hidden gems. Rather than try to list them all here, and indeed rather than you having to read them all, the following aggregators focus on CF- oriented blogs. Some blogs are in all the aggregators, but it's worth keeping an eye on more than one. I provide as well a link to the list of all CFML blogs that each aggregator follows. This way, you can find out all the folks who blog about CF. CFnote, which follows these blogscold. Fusion. Bloggers (aka cfbloggers. Full As A Goog CF category, which follows these blogs. The following are or seem defunct: AXNA (Adobe XML News Aggregator) CF category (feeds. Category& category. Id=1& category. Name=Cold. Fusion), CFBlogs (CFBlogs. Feed Squirrel (www. Geexoo CF category (www. If you're looking for a list of all CF bloggers, note that there is no one list, but again each of the aggregators above offers a list of the blogs that they aggregate, and I've offered the links to those lists above. I welcome additions/corrections/feedback. CFML Blog Highlight Services [link]. Related to the last section, I want to mention, separately from the aggregators above, that there have some bloggers who tried organizing periodic highlights of what they deem to be "best of the blogs" in the CF blogosphere. It's a tough job, hard for them to keep it up, but let's enjoy (and thank) them for what they do or did. Sadly, all the following seem to have gone dark (stopped staying updated) with their admirable goals. CFML This Week, another tinyletter newsletter, this one from from Akbar Sait, a "once a week round- up of CFML news and links across the Globe for CFML community", with an archive of past letters. Matt Gifford's CFML Weekly newsletter. Kay Smoljak's The week in Cold. Fusion (and available RSS feed, of just these "best of" posts)CFML Weekly News, a tinyletter newsletter from Pete Frietag, "gathering of interesting links for CFML (Cold. Fusion, Lucee/Railo, Open. BD, etc) Developers & Administrators", with an archive of past letters. Stephen Moretti's Blog Round Up (and available RSS feed, of just these "best of" posts)Steve Bryant's CF_Blog. Picks (and available RSS Feed, of just these "best of" posts). Don't forget to consider using a Feed Reader or one of many RSS to Email services to be kept informed of updates to these. CFML Books [link]. Following are books that have been written on the subject of Cold. Fusion or CFML, listed approximately in order of recency. I'm focusing here only those published in the last several years. While those are books available on Amazon, consider also these which are not. I welcome additions/corrections/feedback. CFML Certification Preparation Resources [link]. The tools mentioned may still be oriented only toward a prior rlease of CF, so if you're looking for that latest release- specific information to help with getting certified, the best bet is the CFML documentation. Adobe Cold. Fusion Certification site (including exam guidelines, example questions, and information on registering to take the exams)CF Exam. Buster (centrasoft. Still only for CF8, as of 2. Cold.

Adobe)Note also, though it's not been updated since CF7, Ben Forta had a well- received book, Cold. Fusion MX 7 Certified Developer Study Guide. I welcome additions/corrections/feedback. CFML Conferences [link]. The following conferences have some, if not an entire, focus on Cold. Fusion and CFML. While I normally list other tools and resources in alphabetical order, in this case it seems useful to list them in order of their occurrence during the year. I present these in the order of the month they occur (did or will), regardless of the year, in case either they are delayed in announcing the date for a new year, or I am late in getting that information here. The assumption is that each event tends to repeat around the same time each year. I do bold the year to help warn you of the current information at the time of my last edit here. About the Strikeouts: I will also strike out the whole date after it passes. Mura. Con, the Mura conference, organized by Blue. River Interactive (Sacramenta, CA; Feb 9- 1.

You can also sometimes find CF conferences listed on the site Lanyrd (that's a link that searches only for coming CF/CFML conferences).
