The title is a little facetious but I do think Github collaberation is not being taken advantage of in the ColdFusion community. Sure some CFML-ers like Mark Mandel , Luis Majano , and Marc Esher are using github. ColdFusion projects like ValidateThis , FW1 , and MuraCMS are on it. ColdFusion Koans...
My company recently hired another developer. It was the first time I was involved in the hiring process. We hired a recent college graduate with no CFML experience and slight PHP. The grad did seem somewhat strong with HTML, SQL, and CSS. Javascript was slight and jQuery non-existant. I'll be doing...

Two weeks since the last ColdFusion & Github . I will start with what I missed. A Mango Blog plugin for gists was announced Aug. 16th. You may be wondering what the heck are GISTS? Gist is a simple way to share snippets and pastes with others. All gists are git repositories, so they are...
I received an email about switching to git and local development. Mallory was gracious enough to give me permission to post the original email and my response. I hope this helps other looking to move to git along with local development. ------------------------------------------------ Your Name:...
Two ColdFusion & Github Weekly updates in a row! Where to start? Well, CFMeetup: GIT for Dummies and the slightly more enlightened by Tim Cunningham is a great place. It was recorded yesterday.

Being the end of the month, I'll also mention monthly updates of ColdFusion on Github besides weekly updates. Some blog posts are about git and coldfusion this past week are:
ColdFusion is hanging steady at the 29th most popular language on Github . Big news on the ColdFusion/Github front is FW/1 . I didn't catch an official announcement but it seems FW/1 is using github for their central code repository/site. Github's ticket system is setup and allowing people to...
I missed last week's ColdFusion & Github update due to attending CF.Objective() 2010 in Minneapolis. Simeon Bateman presented on Git . His sessionwas the last of the conference and was very well attended. He covered basic git ideas and commands. He also showed GitHub and mentioned...
ColdFusion dropped several spots to 30 for Github Language popularity. DZone released a very well done Refcardz title " Getting Started with Git ". Github celebrated it's 2nd Birthday . I attended a Github East Cost Tour gathering if one is in your area I recommend swinging by for a few drinks. I...
ColdFusion moved up another spot in the Github Language popularity to 29th. I am hoping the momentum keeps up. Github announced it has a commit about every second compared to Google Code which has a commit about every 5 seconds. No forking again for ColdFusion. This maybe the CF Community still...

I have been touting Github for ColdFusion open source projects. I have a great example of why. Bob Silverberg has been working on ValidateThis for Wheels. This consists of two projects, the ValidateThis framework and a ValidateThis Wheels plugin . He forked my repository of the plugin and made a...
Github now tracks CFML syntax. Github uses Pygments , a generic syntax highlighter. Pygment recently added support for CFML and Github has implemented it. What does this mean to the ColdFusion community? Github recognizing ColdFusion means more exposure . Currently ColdFusion is the 32nd most...

I will show how to switch a Riaforge project using SVN to use Git and Github . Git is more geared for open source projects since it easily allows contributes from anyone. A hierarchy might eventually evolve where the project owner watches four of his trusted friends, then those four might watch a...
I really enjoy ColdFusion but I am frustrated seeing tools in other programming languages like metric testing ( NDepend ), code coverage ( Emma ), and coding standards ( Checkstyle ). None of these tools are new. They are immensely helpful, but not really available in CFML . That being said, I feel...
