Educators and students throughout Europe benefit from the technological innovations that European Schoolnet builds using Adobe ColdFusion. The consortium of 31 education ministries develops programs and projects that benefit teachers, pupils, researchers, and industry partners who share the goal of improving the quality of education in Europe.
European Schoolnet serves more than 250,000 users and 25 different languages with projects like the eTwinning portal, a virtual meeting point for the exchange of information between schools. It provides all the tools and services schools need to find partners, resources, advice, help, and information, and even to build eTwinning projects in partnership with each other. To support its objectives, eTwinning needed to integrate smoothly with a wide range of third-party technologies, APIs, frameworks, and existing Oracle databases while still aligning with the organization’s rapid development methodology.
“Development in Adobe ColdFusion is easily 40% faster than in other development environments. Significant time efficiencies are found in early development stages, faster coding, extensive code reusability, testing, and debugging,” says Bart Vanhulle, technical manager and lead developer, European Schoolnet. “In addition, any conceptual, integration, and methodological challenges are readily addressed through the highly effective Adobe ColdFusion online developer community.” http://adobe.ly/1xGtlOV
