In my recent post on how MySpace is using SQL Server, I mentioned that the original MySpace.com was built with ColdFusion.  Even though MySpace moved to Microsoft .NET, there’s a very active ColdFusion community, fostered by Adobe.

As luck would have it, I had a chance to spend some time this week with ColdFusion guru Raymond Camden.  He’s co-author of the ColdFusion MX Developer’s Handbook, Mastering ColdFusion MX, and the Adobe ColdFusion 8 Web Application Construction Kit.  Along the way Ray has contributed to roughly a dozen other ColdFusion-related books.  He also runs several technical websites, and blogs at ColdFusionJedi.

Ray was here in the San Francisco Bay Area working with Adobe as they prepare for Adobe MAX 2009.  Ray will be a featured speaker at the conference, which will be held from October 4-7 in Los Angeles.

Our time was spent preparing for, and delivering, a presentation on migrating from Oracle Forms to ColdFusion – something we hope to be doing for an upcoming project.  We are also teaming up with Peter Koletzke, co-author of Oracle Developer Advanced Forms & Reports and Oracle JDeveloper 10g for Forms & PL/SQL Developers.  I’m very excited to have Ray and Peter, leading experts in their respective fields, working with the DesignMind team.
