It’s an alternative J2EE CFML engine to Adobe ColdFusion, Open BlueDragon is, that was released as a GPLv3 open source project just this past May. J. Peter Bruzzese tested it out, taking the perspective a Windows admin delving into open source. “Would I have done better with a closed source solution? I wouldn’t have, and here’s why: I tend to work a certain way, and that way entails avoiding asking for directions. I like to figure things out for myself and only ask for help when at my wit’s end,” he writes in A Windows admin tames Open BlueDragon. That essentially means that whenever he gets stuck, Bruzzese typically seeks help in forums or Googles the problem. “So, where does that leave you? Well, if you can save your company money, you become an asset again in a world where admins have become a dime a dozen.” Software Development
