Flex Builder free to Education ... what about ColdFusion
October 24, 2007 · 10 Comment s
I just read, via Matt Woodward - who is talking at Scotch on the Rocks 2008 by the way - that Adobe are offering Flex Builder 2 at no cost to Students and Faculty at Educational institutions world wide.
Great news in my opinion.
Following on from this, I've often pondered how Adobe could inject ColdFusion into education. Here in the UK, there are a great deal of Universities and Colleges that are using ColdFusion in one way or another; hosting their website, offering hosted services to students, or even in the rare case actually teaching it.
I believe the University of Abertay, Dundee actually teach ColdFusion as part of their syllabus.
All this is great, but what more could be done to help ColdFusion penetrate the educational sector, and more importantly see graduating students come out looking for ColdFusion jobs rather than just whatever is currently being taught (which in my case was Java or Eiffel).
- Provide students on any Computer Science related course with a free copy of ColdFusion Standard?
- Offer each Computer Science (or related) department at every University or College a free copy of ColdFusion Enterprise?
What else could be done?
