The site is written in Adobe ColdFusion, running on Fusebox 5.1 (beta) (after running on an early beta of Mach II for PHP and then the 1.0.9 release of Mach II for ColdFusion). I'm a big supporter of application frameworks - you can read about why I like Fusebox and why I (used to) like Mach II.

Previously, this site was a Fusebox 3 for PHP application (prior to November 2002 this site was an ad hoc PHP site). Fusebox grew out of the ColdFusion community and I was very critical about it initially but promised to rewrite my site using it to gain experience with it - read my thoughts on the rewrite. Since then, Fusebox 4, 4.1 and 5 have been released - I was the lead developer for Fusebox 5 - and Fusebox 5.1 is due to "go gold" any day now. Mach II is now at version 1.1.1 and starting to plan 1.5.

I'd be interested to hear your stories about ColdFusion, Fusebox and Mach II.

The section that used to cover BroadVision has now been laid to rest due to lack of interest. R.I.P. BroadVision! I just retired the Java section since I had never updated it.

The ColdFusion section has been around for a while and is constantly being expanded, hosting several pages about Fusebox and a section about Mach II. My blog has also been around for a while (since early June 2002) and is updated nearly every day.

The C++ section is mostly copied as-is from the OCS Ltd site and has not been touched in a couple of years although it is still pretty accurate.
