Now that our component set is done and released we’re starting to look at our enhancement list and coming up with ideas for the next version. We’ll probably have a maintenance release to add a few options and maybe a chart or two.
We’d love to hear your requests so feel free to post comments here or send me e-mail directly. document.write(”“); document.write(”sam”); document.write(”@”); document.write(”blinex”); document.write(”.com“);
If you’re not familiar with our charts, please check them out. http://www.blinex.com/products/charting

This was the first ColdFusion event that I have attended. It had a pretty good turn out and was a good event to go to. I was there giving two presentations (Ill post more on those later) and was part of a panel discussion. I thought I would just sum up some of what people might find interesting about the event in this entry.

I had the pleasure today to speak at the CFUN-03 conference about XML, XPath, and XSLT. The conference had a nice turnout and my presentation room was packed full of CFUNers eager to learn “What’s New for XML in CFMX” with a number of good questions.
