Is CF Builder on the way?
Jan 22nd, 2007 by admin
For a few days now Mark Drew et al have been teasing us about a mystery “it” that is coming in a few days. There’s been quite a bit of speculation across the blogosphere about what “it” is.
At first I thought Mark was hyping the long awaited 1.3 release of CFEclipse but as the events unfold I’m beginning to think there’s more to this then a dot release of CFEclipse. I’m beginning to suspect Adobe is the puppet master pulling the strings here.
Today Adobe announced an open sign-up for the Scorpio Beta. Curious timing don’t you think? The Beta is not available yet but (I’m guessing) it will be in a few days, about the same time we’re supposed to find out what “it” is. I wonder if there won’t be a little surprise in the Beta downloads, maybe a new ColdFusion IDE based on CFEclipse?
Does this level of viral marketing fit with the dot release of a product that for the most part has been available via SVN for awhile? I don’t think it does. No I think the Java gurus at Adobe have been hard at work building a sibling for Flex Builder.
Of course this is all rampant speculation on my part. Time will reveal the truth.
