Don't call it a comeback, we've been here for years!

SIIA just announced the winners of the 23rd annual Codie awards and ColdFusion 8 was honored to take home the award for Best Web Services Solution. I'm ecstatic to share this with the community who deserves a lot of the credit. After all, nearly every feature of ColdFusion 8 was driven by community input. Thanks for all the wishlist submissions, blog posts debating featrures and beta testers. Finally, thanks for continuing to build the cutting edge applications that push the boundaries of the web with ColdFusion.

As I've said before, we've definitely got our work cut out for us with Centaur (aka ColdFusion 9). With ColdFusion 8 we proved that our platform is not only relevant, it's innovative. Now it's time to start shattering perceptions and taking ColdFusion to the next level. We defined Rapid Application Devleopment over a decade ago. It's about time we did it again.

Viva ColdFusion!
