New Atlanta’s New ColdFusion to .NET/Java Migration Services
By: Sean Corfield
Vince Bonfanti just announced New Atlanta’s “new ColdFusion-to-.NET and ColdFusion-to-Java migration services.” and goes on to say “As experts in ColdFusion, ASP.NET, and Java technologies, New Atlanta is uniquely positioned to assist organizations that want to migrate their ColdFusion applications to either the ASP.NET or Java EE web application platforms.”
Vince has said in the past that he sees BlueDragon.NET as a migration path from CFML to .NET so this isn’t entirely surprising. His blog now has a sidebar that consolidates links to posts he’s made in the past three years on this topic (the posts span July 2005 to January 2008 so they’re not exactly “news”).
It’s clear that Vince and New Atlanta are going in a very different direction to Open BlueDragon. Vince is not involved with OpenBD and it is TagServlet, not New Atlanta, who are behind the open source project.
ColdFusion continues to thrive under Adobe’s leadership - the hints around Centaur suggest that it will be a mind-blowing release. Open BlueDragon is available now for download - in several ready-2-run formats, as a simple WAR or even in source code form for you to use for free in pretty much any way you want. And at Scotch on the Rocks, Railo announced their partnership with Red Hat to move the Railo CFML engine to jboss.org as an open source project which should extend the reach of CFML into the Java community.
It’s never been a better time to be a CF developer - more choices, more advances.
Note: Vince updated his post to use more neutral language - thank you Vince! - so I have updated this post to be more neutral as well.
