Live example of the ColdFusion 8 AJAX Integration Features

One of my good friends, Rama Marupilla, showed me a recent project where he used CFGrid to make a searchable, filterable restaurant locater. Have a look at http://www.nycvisit.com/restaurantweek/. See the listing of restaurants? You can filter the list live. The responsiveness and the user interactivity make for vast improvements over old school HTML restaurant finders.

ColdFusion 8, in the hands of a great developer, can enable powerful and relevant functionality. ColdFusion 8 is integrated with the popular ExtJS library and provides all sorts of AJAX features like rich text editors, data grids, popup windows, tab navigators, tree controls, thinkbox style windows and dropdown list boxes.

You can view a demonstration of the integrated AJAX feature of ColdFusion 8 to see the simplicity of working with AJAX in ColdFusion.

Great Job Rama, thanks for sharing!
