Saccfug Meeting: SCRUM

Last night at the Sacramento ColdFusion User Group, Seth Duffey presented on the topic of SCRUM.  SCRUM is an iterative incremental framework for managing complex work (such as new product development). (Wiki)  The presentation he gave was really great, and my place of work has decided to adopt this approach for managing our projects.  There are  lots of advantages to using SCRUM over traditional methods like the waterfall approach.  Some of the advantages include: supporting project change throughout the development life cycle, keeping clients involved in the coarse of the development process so they understand failures and successes, and pointing out team or organizational weak points.

CF Builder/Flash Builder Plugin: Random Crashes

Lately at work I have been playing around a lot with ColdFusion Builder, and I decided to install the Flash Builder Plug-in to make my development a little bit easier. After installing the Flash Builder Plug-in, my Eclipse Environment kept crashing on me which started to become really frustrating. I did some research on the subject and found some pretty straight forward solutions that might be helpful for those who have just started with ColdFusion Builder and Flash Builder.
