In this Macrochat, Macromedia Architect and Technical Lead for ColdFusion, Tom Jordahl discusses ColdFusion event gateways. ColdFusion has long been the easiest way to create applications that respond to web requests from web browsers. ColdFusion MX 7 opens up a whole new world of applications that can respond to events and messages, from Instant Messaging (such as XMPP/Jabber and Lotus Sametime) to mobile phone SMS text messages, to Internet socket requests, to system events, and much more. Learn more as you watch and listen to his presentation.
