A new website has been launched with Railo Enterprise. http://organicfoodbar.com/.

Sergei Droganov one of the key programmers of the site: "Why do we use Railo?

1. It's is fast. Fast on production server, fast on the developer machine.
Of course the second one is extremely important for me. On the production server we get rendering times under 10ms without having to use disk cache, trusted cache, binary archives and so on, these are live application benchmarks. 2. We saved about 5000 dollars.
We have designed a MVC framework as well. We just call it 'ColdSpirit'. It is very fast and very simple; in fact the simplest framework that I have ever seen.
Actually it was designed for application prototyping, but it was so fast that we added some additional functionality (models) to make it production-ready.
It has GUI for configuring applications. From our experience up to 30% of the time is spent on manual configuring different conf.xml files on different frameworks. So we built a GUI for that. At the moment it is a raw alpha for internal use only. But I expect sometime to release it for the community."

My favorite snack meets my favorite web application development language... Now that's appetizing... I like / find it humorous, that the designer capitalized on the apple "carousel" effect for the product visual.

Hi.
Actualy ColdSpirit was made by designers, not programmers. And we don't have any documentation yet. The objective to keep it as simple as possible. UI is buggy.

If you really want to play with it, write to me at droganov@yandex.ru

Hello Karl, framework runs well with both CFMX and Railo.
UI works somehow under FF, Safary, and Opera. IE isn't able to render it (because of round corners I guess). But, since I'm the only guy who uses ColdSpirit, I can live well without IE.
For the moment I wait Adobe to release SPRY 1.7 (I heard they might add dragging and dropping functionality). After that I will finish interface updates.
