Reviewso see current and past reviews of ColdFusion, visit www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/reviews_news/

Tere have been strong improve-ments to PDF and spreadsheet

handling, object relationalmapping (ORM) built right in[to ColdFusion 9], tight integrationwith Flex, new and improvedAjax features, and a brand new,Eclipse-powered ColdFusion IDE.Dont look now, but I think youmight actually be able to buildsomething neat with all that.

SitePoint July 2009

Adobe has just released version9 with an impressive list of newfeatures that stand toe-to-toewith anything youll nd fromMicroso , IBM, Oracle, or any of the elite open source options aswell....no other web developmenttoolset available today gives youan equal balance of exibilility,

scalability and out-of-the-boxRAD experience for dynamic webapplications than ColdFusion.

Gartner October 2009

ColdFusion 9 has several newfeatures of interest to enterprise

customers, particularly regardingMicroso SharePoint integrationand the ability to read and writeMicroso O ce documents...the new innovative array of tools with tightened integrationelevates ColdFusion to a newlevel of functionality allowingfor improved performancegains for developers andbusiness users alike.

IT News OnlineJuly 2009

...ColdFusion can provide uniquevalue that is not fully addressed

by any competing alternativetechnology. Most notably,ColdFusion is unmatched byany competitor for ease of useand technical capabilities. Whenwe combine this with cross-platform deployment, andsignificant integration intoboth Java and .NE , ColdFusionstands out as a compellingsolution for many I challenges.
