I'm on my way over to Boston to visit some friends on the weekend, and then speak at the MXimize Conference. MY talk is on UDFs, CFCs, Web Services, and Flash Remoting. I'll be in Boston until Wednesday.

I was just noticing the results of Ben Forta's current poll "Do you use CFCs?", and the mode of the results was "I'd code no other way", getting 45% of the results, and "I use them occasionally" is in second with 24%.

Sun rolled out Release Candidate 1 for Java 1.5 (or J2SE 5) yesterday, so what goodies are in it for ColdFusion Developers?

AMD 64 Support - this means that ColdFusion will be running in 64 bit mode instead of 32 bit mode on AMD 64bit processors.
