A couple of weeks back I presented at CFObjective ANZ in Melbourne, on how to make ColdFusion development a little more cooler using a decentralized version control system (DVCS) like Git.

The basic idea behind the presentation was this:

A commonly used version control system in the ColdFusion community is Subversion -- a centralized system that relies on being connected to a central server. The next generation version control systems are decentralized, in that version control tasks do not rely on a central server.

Decentralized version control systems are more efficient and offer a more practical way of software development.

Well, CFWheels changes all that.

If you ask me, I'd say that all CF developers should at least try it out to once to see all that it has to offer.
