Actually, ColdFusion has been free for educational use for a long time now. https://freeriatools.adobe.com/coldfusion/
And ColdFusion Builder is now also free for educational use: https://freeriatools.adobe.com/cfbuilder/ --- Ben -----Original Message----- From: Jordan Michaels [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, March 23, 2010 3:09 PM To: cf-talk Subject: CF Education (was: ColdFusion Builder Released!) I was at a CFUnited a couple years ago and Adobe was talking about a new plan they had started that offered Adobe products for free to educational institutions. I haven't heard much beyond that but I doubt it would take too much more then a phone call to them if an Educational Institution would be interested in teaching about Adobe products. I've been teaching a class in CFML at my local CC for many years (5?) now. I've been meaning to post the curriculum online for quite some time, but haven't done it yet. I start teaching again in just over a week. So maybe now is a good time. =) Warm regards, Jordan Michaels Vivio Technologies http://www.viviotech.net/ Open BlueDragon Steering Committee Railo Community Distributions Roger Austin wrote: > ---- Mary Jo Sminkey <[email protected]> wrote: >> Having said that, I really am thrilled to hear that they are giving it for free for educational use.
