I gave a presentation today at the Central New York CFUG about upgrading to ColdFusion 8. I'm afraid I may have scared some people away from updating, but that was not my intent! I simply wanted to prepare them for things they MIGHT run into. Most of the installs I have done have gone smoothly, and the problems are generally easy to figure out with a little research. The benefits of CF8 far outweigh running into a glitch or two during an upgrade.

Aptana released the 1.0 version of their Eclipse Plug-in (now called Aptana Studio for Eclipse). I've been rejecting Eclipse (CFEclipse) as a viable IDE largely due to the show-stopping lack of ability to create a file on a remote FTP site. This release overcomes that severe limitation. You can now right-click on any folder in an FTP site, and select 'New File'. This is an enormous productivity boost for developers who need to work on remote files. The previous methods of synchronizing entire projects was terrible. I've got more evaluation to do before I can switch to CFECLIPSE, but this is a great sign.
It's time to give CFECLIPSE another shot...

Webucator recently made much of their ColdFusion training library openly available to developers at http://www.coldfusionmanualonline.com/
If you've never heard of Webucator, they are worth a look. They offer training, both online and in-person, for a wide variety of Web technologies. I took a DHTML session with them, and it was excellent.
PS - Thank you to Pete Freitag for passing this along to our user group!
