Last week Sean Corfield came to the Sacramento ColdFusion User Group (SacCFUG) and spoke to us about Railo.  The presentation was awesome so I thought I would give it a try.  I have allocated time this coming weekend to play around with it and see if it is the right fit for some future projects. Part 1 of this mini series will be a basic post about porting over this exact blog and seeing how many modifications are needed for the blog to be running properly.  Compatibility is a high priority for me so I figured this would be the first place to start since Railo claims to be Mango Blog tested.

I want to finish this up by saying that Railo will not be replacing ColdFusion in my world but will hopefully become a tool that I use for the right projects. ;)
