I just would like to let you know that I have resigned as a Team Fusebox member.

The Fusebox is one of the best projects in ColdFusion community and it has great community support. As a person who used Fusebox in more than 100 projects since first versions and a community supporter for long time in different continents, I was very proud being the Team Fusebox member. But when I consider my current job load and my contribution level to the team, I have decided to focus on some other tasks.

Thanks for everyone!

I have a surprise this morning that I need to present another topic at WebManiacs and today and just ~2 hours later. :)

Confrence team requested from speakers to fill out some presentations and I had replied that I can present this topic. But there was no confirmation. While checking the topics this morning I saw my name on the list. :)

I think this is probably because of a small disorganization and I had to check all topics in advance. But anyway I have to prepare my slides now. :)

See you ...

As Luis Majano reported on his blog, ColdBox runs on Open BludeDragon without any issue.

I will try to test some of our applications which are based on ColdBox on Open BlueDragon.

Let us see the performance. :)

Yes, I know. This is a long discussion. But let us try to get some ideas on why you selected the one that you are using. Or even not using any of them.

I personally use jQuery and now having interest on ExtJS.

We have also some projects that we are using inline ColdFusion Ajax features but dealing with bugs is the most time consuming stuff that we are complaining. Having some fixes on ColdFusion 8.0.1 is nice but still having complex generated codes and reported compatibility issues is a big question. Component updates also would be an issue. It would not be so easy to update embedded features in ColdFusion such as FCKeditor or ExtJS libraries which still has the old version in ColdFusion 8.0.1.

On the other hand probably ColdFusion will have a commercical aggreement with ExtJS in near future and this can bring some interesting fancy stuff with a better support.

But still I think jQuery is clean and easy to manage. Probably same for ExtJS or some other frameworks and instead of using ColdFusion tags - which would be nice for newbies -, I prefer having my own code. JSON support is a great feature and integrating other frameworks via JSON etc. is a real fun for me. I also would like to feel the full control on the code that I am using and while using ColdFusion tags, I am very scary on generated code. How many of you are using CFFORM tag? Or embedded validation etc.? :)

What do you think? What about other frameworks? Dojo, Spry, Prototype, AJS, MooTools etc.

Please feel free to share your ideas.
