My boss passed away suddenly, leaving behind little in notes and information and didn't share much with me while I worked with him. He'd been here for 29 years and so took a lot of information with him.
One of the items he had here is a ColdFusion server v9 and a lot of apps that he had written that our users rely on. He loved to write code, 5 different languages I've found so far, me not so much, I know a little. My question is......to keep his apps going ,until I can find replacements for them, is there a web content editing software to go with a ColdFusion server or am I just going to have to pull the plug on his apps when they break?
I found an Adobe Flex Builder 2 CD and an Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Standard CD. Of any value to me? Looks like they are old versions. With 250 users and equipment, network, etc to take care of I'm a little busy. Any information on this is greatly appreciated.
CFML code (.cfm, and .cfc files) can be edited in any text editor including Notepad. Adobe has an official IDE called ColdFusion Builder. A lot of developers simply use Sublime Text or even Dreamweaver.
CFML is compiled by a just-in-time compiler so you just need to edit the code and then you can refresh the page. If you don't have a dev server, you can install CF locally with a copy of the code on your PC.
I would recommend your company hire someone (or another company) with experience in CF to help you manage the code.
