Flex builder is,
I saw several people jump on the free part without actually answering Pete's
original questions:
desktops. Does anyone know what the policy will be for the free for
academic licensing for CF9? Is it limited to colleges and universities, or
can primary and secondary schools use that licensing
Hi,
We pre-announced the free offering of ColdFusion to educational institutions
for learning purposes at CFUnited. At CFUnited we mentioned that the formal
announcement and program launch would be a few months out. We were so excited
we couldn't wait to tell you. :) The offer isn't exclusive
Flex builder is, however, free for any use by any member of an
educational institution, so there's a difference. While I'd love to
see a similar program for CF, I suspect the CF policy will provide
only for teaching as has been discussed.

If you're after a free CF engine, why not use Open Blue Dragon. It has
everything you need to teach your students web programming. They have a
Ready2Run download which is preconfigured and only 20Mb.

Advantage of this is your students can also use
The students can also use CF Developer edition for free at home or on
their laptops with no licensing problems.

Railo also has a free community edition, it has some limitations but I am sure
if you contact them and indicate that you would like to use it in a teaching
environment they may give you a version upgrade.

Pete,
as of Railo 3.0 which will be available in the next couple of weeks,
Railo Professional and Railo Community will melt into one product and be
available for free. We will open source Railo in November this year, so
you don't have to deal with any costs whatsoever for your projects. If

Good afternoon everyone,
And how about non-profit organizations that host education-related Web
sites on their servers. Our group is preparing to upgrade our hardware to
support additional Web development tools. I've been talking to the Sysop
about adding ColdFusion. I mentioned that CF8.0 is

Those things students lug around in backpacks. I just wondered how one
goes
about teaching CF in a school, if they make up the entire curriculum or if
something
I generally create all of my own course materials, and refine them from
class to class. I then publish them as PDF's that I have on my network
drive at school (which students have read access to a portion of) and also
publish them to my teacher web site via the school's web site publishing
I'd be willing (and able) to play a role in this, and am willing to share my
web design curriculum also (and take feedback on it). Anyone else who's
interested, contact me off-list. I'm actually in the midst of writing a
lesson-sharing document management system, have the domain and everything,
Awesome. Must be nice to have en entire semester!
Since the classes I've been teaching are quarterly, I only provide for a
week of basic HTML, and dive into CFML right away after that.
The idea is to get the basics of CFML hammered in so that they can
create basic web apps and also provide them
a semester worth),
tests, code samples, etc.

I'd love to be a part of that.
Teaching CFML to students is one of the primary keys to keeping the CFML
alive, healthy, and growing - in my opinion.
I was delighted with the announcement from Adobe about this effort, and
let my contacts in the education industry know as soon as I could!

It's not full featured, but it'll do what you need.
