CF9 ORM blog sample application

Mark Mandel wrote an simple blog application to demonstrate how to use Transfer ORM. I thought it would be an interesting exercise to update it to run using the in-built ORM capabilities on ColdFusion 9. Read more »

Railo really is fast!

I've had a few hours spare so thought I'd see for myself if Railo is as fast as I've heard. Well, after running a few of my own mini applications I can backup the claims. Read more »
