WTF - CF Developer’s Journal to Relaunch as Silverlight Developer’s Journal?? 
September 10th, 2007
Sys-con is ditching their ColdFusion Developer’s Journal and starting Silverlight Journal, fair enough. But what does that blog title even mean? Relaunch? ColdFusion and Silverlight are not alternatives, competitors or really have that much to do with each other. I’m pretty sure you could actually use them together. This is total _FUD_ and BS.
We have seen a rapid trend and move from ColdFusion to other emerging rich web technologies such as AJAX, Flex, and Silverlight,” said Engin Sezici of SYS-CON Media.
What’s Engin smoking?? It’s absolutely impossible to migrate from ColdFusion to Ajax…you can add Ajax to a ColdFusion site you need something on the server side. Saying you’ve seen a move from ColdFusion to PHP, ASP.NET, Ruby on Rails or some other server side language would make sense. I started wondering maybe Microsoft paid Sys-Con to start this new hype filled magazine…oh wait what’s this:
After ColdFusion became part of the Adobe product line Adobe recently decided to discontinue its support of the magazine.
The plot thickens…I hate it when the media does crap like this. Sys-Con just lost some of my respect. You can read CF guru Ben Forta’s thoughts here.

The major ironing here is that their audience is educated and knows that this doesn’t make sense.
Really really cheeseball.
