PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER OF NEW ATLANTA TO PRESENT BLUEDRAGON .NET PRODUCT

SEATTLE, WA—Vince Bonfanti, President and co-founder of New Atlanta, makers of the CFML server BlueDragon, will be speaking at a special meeting of the Seattle ColdFusion User’s Group on Tuesday, March 14, 2006, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Downtown Seattle Association.

From New Atlanta:

Quote: </b> Many by now know that both ColdFusion MX and BlueDragon permit you to deploy CFML on a J2EE server. This is important for shops moving to standards-based architectures, for whom running ColdFusion servers is no longer acceptable. But what if your shop (or a client) is moving to .NET? Macromedia's only current solution is web services integration, but with BlueDragon.NET it's possible to deploy CFML onto the Microsoft .NET Framework. It's still just CFML, redeployed. The opportunities for integration with native .NET components (ASP.NET and more) are tremendous.

In this talk, Vince Bonfanti, President and co-founder of New Atlanta (makers of BlueDragon) will explain the environment motivating this need, as well as the enterprise integration possibilities it enables (calling ASP.NET from CFML and vice-versa, sharing data, leveraging .NET features, and more). Even if you don't see a need to support .NET, you likely will. For folks with large investments in CFML and CFML developers, it's a unique solution that helps keep CFML alive and thriving. It might even win over projects otherwise slated for ASP.NET!</div id=quote>
