"People Are Beginning to Embrace the New Capabilities and Possibilities in the Release"

Mar. 7, 2005 12:00 AM

"We've had a tremendous response," said ColdFusion product manager Dave Gruber, speaking exclusively to SYS-CON.TV (http://www.sys-con.tv) just 9 days after the release of ColdFusion MX 7, the most customer driven release of Macromedia ColdFusion to date. "I couldn't ask for a better nine days," Gruber added, when interviewed live on the show floor at Web Services Edge 2005 in Boston.

"We couldn't be more excited about the early response to the CFMX 7 feature set from our customers and we're anxious of start seeing the successes that our customers have," Gruber continued.

He summarized CFMX 7's new features for delivering printable content in the form of portable (FlashPaper or PDF) documents or reports; the new event gateway that allows the server to communicate with any system or device via Java gateways (including the popular SMS gateway); the application event gateway; new enhancements to including X-Forms support, Flash Forms, and a ton of new validation support, enhancements to its XML support and Verity engine, much improved internationalisation support, and much, much more.

Gruber described as a "very breakthrough move...unmatched by any other technology in the industry" Macromedia's CFMX 7 move to take the ColdFusion programming model to create great applications that now move beyond the desktop, and are enabled from your portable devices that you carry around with you every day."

All in all, this move to extend ColdFusion beyond the browser, along with the new "printable Web content" possibilities and the ability to create rich Flash forms in minutes using just a few ColdFusion tags, were contributing to the sense of a truly successful new release, Gruber enthused.

"It feels very much to us like ten years ago when we enabled people easily to connect databases to Web sites," he added. CFMX 7 is readily available for download and trial, he reminded viewers.
