Hi everyone, After what seems like 100 years reading the archives, I just joined the mailing list and wanted to introduce myself.
My name is Philip Kaplan and I've been a ColdFusion programmer since around 1996. I'm sure others discovered CF this way -- IIS hadn't yet been invented so I was using a web server called Orielly Website Pro, which happened to come with ColdFusion built-in. I was in college on a summer internship (at Booz Allen & Hamilton) and my employer (thank goodness) told me to learn it. I've built a lot of sites in ColdFusion since then. The most well-known was a site called Fuckedcompany.com that tracked the collapse of the (first?) dot-com bust. One of the newer CF sites I built is a photo-sharing social network at www.mobog.com. It's the first CF site I've load balanced across multiple servers, which is fun. Incidentally it's hosted on www.gogrid.comwhich is a could-hosting thingamajig. Happy to share my (mostly positive, some negative) experiences with it. For a living, I'm the founder and president of an ad network called AdBrite. AdBrite was initially developed by my business partner, a PHP guy, so no CF there. We have about 115 employees and are based in San Francisco. I still get to use CF at the day-job to prototype stuff and build some internal reporting tools. Anyway, hello everyone!
