I thought this was a really good idea, so I'm joining in for my second month.<more/> My project of the month is <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/winmerge">WinMerge</a>. WinMerge is a program that allows you to compare two different files side by side and merge the changes between the files. This type of tool is a must have for anyone who writes code. I use it most often when I want to upgrade my <a href="http://www.blogcfc.com">Blog's software</a>. I can easily compare the latest version of BlogCFC with the version used on my site. I've made modifications along the way, so careful scrutiny is required to figure out what changed, and what needs to change. Without a tool such as WinMerge, I'd be stuck visually examining each line of code. It would be a long and tedious task. Because of WinMerge, the upgrade usually takes less than an hour. Thanks you WinMerge team!

I thought this was a really good idea, so I'm joining in. I just made my first "Project of the Month" donation to the <A href="http://www.cfeclipse.org">CFEclipse</a> project. CFEclipse is an eclipse extension that I use every day for ColdFusion and web development. Eclipse is a free IDE that just keeps getting bigger. CFEclipse is one of the top rated Eclipse plug-ins and it quickly becoming the tool of choice for <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/">ColdFusion</a> Developer's everywhere. A big thanks to <a href="http://www.markdrew.co.uk/blog/ ">Mark</a> and everyone who ever contributed to CFEclipse. Some brand new cool feature regarding CFEclipse are supposed to be announced at <A href="http://www.cfobjective.com">CFObjective</a>. I'm looking forward to it. <a href="http://www.garfieldtech.com/potm">See Other Projects of the Month by other people</a>.
