Welcome to Sorcerer's Isle, a weblog covering a multitude of topics, ranging from programming to 3D graphics; photography to gadgets; tutorials to tinkering.
Within Sorcerer's Isle are three sub-blogs, which each focus on different aspects:
At Sorcerer's Tower you'll find programming and web dev; Midnight Isle covers photography and digital art; and with 100% Geek you'll find gadgets, gaming, technology, and more.
Articles may appear on just one of the weblogs, or across multiple, but every article posted will always appear on this one.
It's nearly a year on from my last Railo blog post so it is well overdue that I write another - just in case there is anyone still sitting on the fence, unsure if they should use Railo - or indeed, anyone who might be unaware of Railo's very existance!
So to start with, a quick summary of what Railo is:
Find out why Railo is the perfect choice for your next development project.
As promised previously, here is a more detailed entry on the announcement to Open Source the Railo CFML engine.
Today at the midday Scotch keynote, Gert Franz and Luc Texier made an impressive announcement: Railo is going completely Open Source.
This is an exciting move both for Railo and for the CFML community as a whole, and I'll be writing more details about it later, but for now here some some quick key details...
There will be two editions of Railo, with the Community and Professional editions combining into one, and the Enterprise edition being the other:
The new Community+Professional edition will be Open Source and there will be no limit to the number of web contexts allowed.
The Enterprise edition will have added value features, including tools from Intergral.
The license will be LGPL2, which means you can distribute Railo along with commercial software.
The timeline for release of the source code is mid to late October, around the time that Railo 3.1 is due for release.
The announcement is online at the JBoss website at www.jboss.org/railo
