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...
Majority of ColdFusion code is not testable in its current state. There I said it. Now with that out of the way, I would love you to try out my " Cloudy With A Chance Of Tests " project and give this a test drive. It is to help improve the quality of your code which maybe in any state. Please...
I finally had the chance to use the Unofficial Updater 2 (uu2) by David Epler . I must say it is pretty AWEsome. Being a user and not reading , I scanned the readme file in the github repository, then tried using it. Big mistake. Be sure to look at the revamped readme with a "How to Use" section...

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 will be presenting the same day at 6PM EST my CFUnited presentation over CFWheels . It will be slightly different, since...

ColdFusion is still stable at 29th most popular language on Github . I would really like this number to climb so keep putting your small and large projects on Github since it is free. Not much new on the Github front. I did notice a nice article about " How to use github and submit a patch ". I...
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...

One feature of Github is "Social Coding". Github tracks users' actions (pushes, closing tickets, creating repositories) and repositories' actions allowing for people to easily see what is going on. You can "follow" people. You can "watch" repositories. This is cool, so you can keep tabs on all the...
