Today Adobe has announced the release of its official IDE for ColdFusion rapid-application development, ColdFusion Builder. As a user of the beta versions for quite some time now I can go on the record and say that ColdFusion Builder is a welcome product. Important features (in my head anyway) include:
- Syntax highlighting (in both tags AND script)
- Code insight
- XML, CSS, and JavaScript highlighting support
- Code folding
- FTP/sFTP support
- Complete language support, including ColdFusion 9’s ORM features
- Ability to connect/control ColdFusion servers and services
- Monitor log files with TailView
- Code outline view for quick document traversal
- Plug-ins for component code generation
- Built-in SQL editor (connect to datasources and craft SQL real-time)
The list goes on and on proving that Adobe has really put a lot of effort into the product. And right now Adobe is offering ColdFusion Builder AND Flash Builder 4 Standard for only $299. That’s actually a heck of a deal! Here are a few more resources and such to add to the hype.
