How I (Isaac) got started in ColdFusion

When I started coding ColdFusion it was not even on my radar, nor was web development.

I needed an internship badly the summer of my junior - senior year at college and had exhausted most my resources with no luck. I received no call backs from intern applications to random tech companies and had no leads in what exactly I wanted to do after school.

That's when a friend in one of my senior project classes said that the place he worked "Web Services @ Hamilton College" was looking for interns. I applied for the position and was called back immediately for an interview. My friend had mentioned that the position was for a "ColdFusion developer" so the night before the interview I took some online lessons and read up on ColdFusion just so I was not going into the interview blind.

The interview was going great when I eventually was asked..."so have you ever used ColdFusion?"...I replied..."Sure, just a little...I am cfsetting and cfdumping and stuff." That response which got everyone within earshot laughing would eventually go down as legend. Needless to say I got the position as a junior developer and the rest is history.

I spent my days as an intern learning CF and working on small web applications and scripts. The work experience I gained at Hamilton College programming web applications and maintaining CF code landed me the position I am in now at Ravenglass Technologies a year and a half later.

ColdFusion has shown me that programming web applications and systems can be fun and rewarding and that it is what I want to do for the rest of my life, and best of all ColdFusion has lead me to a great career at a great company.

Thank you ColdFusion!

-Isaac

Where did the name Ravenglass originate?

If you've ever wondered where the name "Ravenglass" comes from, it's the name of a port village in England's lake district. Company Founders Jim Jurista and Aimee Koval visited Ravenglass in 1993 and were struck by the natural beauty and historic places such as Muncaster Castle. In 1997, when they were looking for a unique name for their new business, "Ravenglass Technologies" appealed to both of them, and it's been with us ever since.
