Guys, some of you may know of my efforts to get jQuery more exposure. Part of that is pro-actively approaching Ajax notables in the ColdFusion community in an effort to get them to give some face time to jQuery. Well I'm happy to announce that it looks like I've converted one of the notables in the ColdFusion community; Joe Danziger. Joe's written several articles on Ajax primarily focusing on Prototype/Scriptaculous with ColdFusion. You can read about it here as well as his comments about jQuery:
http://www.reybango.com/index.cfm/2006/12/6/Why-jQuery-Rocks-or-How-I-Got-Joe-Danziger-to-Convert The reason that I'm posting this is to encourage everyone to be pro-active in approaching the top names in your respective areas and development tools and telling them about jQuery. It seems that many folks either don't know about jQuery or have a misconception about what it does. In my Joe thought it was just some javascript library until he actually saw the plugins and functionality included in it. I was fairly disappointed not seeing jQuery mentioned in this recent comparison: http://www.dzone.com/rsslinks/an_open_source_ajax_comparison_matrix.html so I'm going to continue to push hard to get the word out. I hope everyone joins me in those efforts. If you see Joe on this mailing list, please make him feel at home. I've talked to him about writing another article for AjaxWorld about using jQuery with ColdFusion and he seems pretty excited about doing it. I will be out of town until Monday so if you reply to me and don't get a response back, I'll get back to you then. Rey...
