ColdFusion in the Real World

[Kcarson]

Skemcin, thought you and everybody else might find this interesting. The NSA (National Security Agency) uses ColdFusion for their current site To quote "The NSA uses software from San Jose, Calif.-based Adobe called ColdFusion to deliver its public Web pages."The actual article is actually about how the NSA used persistent cookies instead of session cookies, but the reference to ColdFusion was in there :)Here is the full article URL: http://www.roanoke.com/business/wb/wb/xp-46460Oh, and here is the NSA site, jsut to see what another example of what ColdFusion is capable of:http://www.nsa.gov/

Cool. Cold Fusion has it's benefits...mainly it's easy integration with flash...since it is developed by the same company.With all this publicity, we'll get those CF tuts eventually...I hope.

Nice find!!! :DMost of the sites we make here (American Academy of Pediatrics - aap.org and pedialink.org are the main ones) run Cold Fusion. Of course 30+ sites I've developed and launched over the last couple years are running Cold Fusion including one I did for Bridgestone/Firestone.:)If they had only not charged so much for their enterprise server years ago, it would be a much more popular choice.Nice find and indeed comforting to know that the NSA (of all agencies) is using Cold Fusion. :(P.S. Ben Forta - the CF guru - maintains a list of CF sites here:http://www.forta.com/cf/using/list.cfmAmong those present are (ironically) Windows IT Pro Netowrk and Windows SQL Server Magazine.

very intersting.i've heard that the NSA has it's own linux distro, so I would have figured they'd run apache/php/mysql or some open source stuff.
