The development team at Webapper has been using FogBugz for a couple years now and we like it well enough not to bother switching to anything else. One thing I found lacking is a “customer portal” – a way for our clients to review the status of open tickets we’re tracking for their projects. Our [...]
We’ve been hearing the “ColdFusion is slow” nonsense for as long as the platform as been around. (Quick history tidbit: We still have support emails from back when Jeremy Allaire was sending them himself!) In our opinion, whenever someone repeats this tripe, that person is instantly branded a software novice, and, probably, one with an [...]
As leading ColdFusion performance engineers and application development specialists, we’re pretty good at what we do. Still, it’s comparatively unglamorous work that we do, focused as it is on recondite topics like software frameworks and Java memory utilization patterns. We’ve got thousands of happy customers of our ColdFusion support and development services, and our SeeFusion [...]
For the past decade, our team here at Webapper has been delivering specialized software services focused on ColdFusion performance and stability. Up until now, we had only offered that expertise in the form of “retail” consulting services. This model works roughly like conventional medicine–wait until you’re sick, then call a doctor. Sure, docs can do [...]
Here at Webapper, we’re working on a little somethin’ somethin’ that we think will be a big help to the ColdFusion community. And, though we’re as egomaniacal as the next bunch of engineers, we’d nonetheless never try something new without asking for feedback. So, we’re conducting a survey of ColdFusion users. It has to do [...]
This is for anyone having trouble connecting to SQL Server on Parallels from ColdFusion on Mac OS X.
Each time I’ve installed a new version of SQL server — be it 2005 or 2008 — it took me a bit a random clicking to get a ColdFusion datasource connected to SQL Server.
Here are some tips.

One of the advantages of our decades of combined experience is speed—we identify, prioritize and fix the causes of performance and stability problems as quickly and effectively as humanly possible. If you’ve got ColdFusion performance and/or stability problems, and you haven’t yet hired us for consulting, then I’d like to invite you to try our [...]
The ColdFusion 9 team was kind enough to share the startup scripts for the ColdFusion install of Solr for OS X.
Here’s how to use these scripts:
1. Copy the files to solr installation directory. i.e /Applications/ColdFusion9/solr or /ColdFusion9/solr. Change the scripts to have execute permission.
2. Open cf-init-solr.sh and cf-solr-startup and be sure that CF_DIR is set [...]
We are proud to announce that Webapper is sponsoring RIA Unleashed in Boston this year. Brian Rinaldi has been putting together some great Flex camps in years past, and we jumped at the chance to sponsor this expanded event. This year, it’s an all-day conference with three tracks: Flex/Air, ColdFusion, and Related Technologies. Steven Erat and [...]
Not only is it possible, but I spend most of my time every week doing this for our Webapper customers.
As we all know, businesses and their supporting web applications are constantly changing and adapting. With any luck, change is in the direction of growth, and adaptation simply becomes a component necessary to keep up [...]
