ColdFusion MX on Mac OS X

Posted by pudge on from the and-now-the-fellowship-is-complete dept.

What's siginificant about this release? Well, they simultaneously released Macromedia ColdFusion MX for J2EE Application Servers to go with it! It may not be a stand-alone edition of ColdFusion MX, but this is still a dream item for any ColdFusion developer with a Mac at home. It took me about 30 minutes to install on my iBook 600 (I messed up a few times since it requires a little terminal work) but once I got it up and running it just worked. All I've had time to do so far is create a variable and output 'Hello World', but so far so good."

    Why not install Apache and PHP instead?

    So, you're saying a proprietary development tool has been ported to a proprietary platform.

    Don't we have any nice Free alternatives yet, already ported throughout the known universe? (I thought we had dozens, but I don't use that stuff.)
