I just "tweeted" this, but thought it warranted a nice little blog post as well.

The documentation team released a cool new version of the Adobe Flash Platform Language Reference (which includes all APIs from the following products: Adobe Flash CS4 Professional, Adobe AIR, LiveCycle Data Services, Adobe ColdFusion, Adobe Flex, and Adobe Flash Player -- as well as the Text Layout Framework (TLF) classes). And the great news is, you can filter content based on Runtimes (Adobe AIR and/or Flash Player) as well as by Product (Flex, Flash Authoring, LiveCycle, and/or ColdFusion).

In case you haven't seen the news all over MXNA and the community, Adobe has ofiicially released ColdFusion 8 (codenamed "Scorpio").

For more information, check out the following resources:
Adobe ColdFusion product page, http://www.adobe.com/go/coldfusion/
Adobe ColdFusion 8 Developer Center, http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/
Ben Forta's blog, http://www.forta.com/ (lots of great links and information here, as always)

I've been a ColdFusion developer since way back in the ColdFusion 3.1 days (back when it was Cold Fusion (with a space), a jazzy thunderbolt icon, and Allaire logo) and I have to say this is one of the releases I am most excited about. There are a lot of great new additions and tweaks that went in to this release.

Big congrats to the entire ColdFusion team!
