chapter31

development in a land far far away…

at the moment

History is not what happened. History is what was written down.

Brian Love recently released an AIR application he wrote which wraps up the ColdFusion 8 ‘livedocs’.

This is a great idea and a fantastic tool to add to your list. I’m sure most developers use livedocs as a reference (I do all the time) but historically the are SO slow (not to mention that I think Adobe needs to invest in a little SEO as I often get CF6 livedocs at the top of Google results!).

The CF8 online docs were given a much needed face lift but still are a little slow and the initial page always reloads into a frameset.

While we do have tools like cfquickdocs which are great, having everything as a local resource on your file system makes life a lot easier :)

Now I just need to wait until Adobe releases AIR for Linux so I can use this at work :(
