&lt;p&gt;About Ben (from forta.com)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;float:left;border:0;&quot; src=&quot;http://forta.com/about/publicity/bf1_thumbnail.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Ben Forta&quot; width=&quot;128&quot; height=&quot;193&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;  class =&quot;dynImage maxSize_128x193&quot; /&gt; I am &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration:line-through;&quot;&gt;Allaire&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration:line-through;&quot;&gt;Macromedia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.adobe.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Adobe Systems Inc&lt;/a&gt;&apos;s Senior Technical Evangelist. In that capacity I get to spend a considerable amount of time talking and writing about Adobe products (with an emphasis on ColdFusion and Flex), and providing feedback to help shape the future direction of the products. By the way, if you are not yet a ColdFusion user, you should be. It is an incredible product, and is truly deserving of all the praise it has been receiving. In a prior life I was a ColdFusion customer (I wrote one of the first large high visibility web sites using the product) and was so impressed I ended up working for the company that created it (Allaire).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am also the author of books on ColdFusion, SQL, Windows 2000, JSP, WAP, Regular Expressions, and more. My &lt;a href=&quot;../books&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;books page&lt;/a&gt; has details on these, many of which have been &lt;a href=&quot;../books/intl.cfm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;translated into 15 languages&lt;/a&gt;. And I have several new books on the way - stay tuned for more info (or join my mailing list and I&apos;ll let you know when new books ship).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before joining Adobe (well, Allaire actually, and then Macromedia and Allaire merged, and then Adobe bought Macromedia) I helped found a company called &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.car.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Car.com&lt;/a&gt; which provides automotive services (buy a car, sell a car, etc) over the Web. Car.com (including Stoneage) is one of the largest automotive web sites out there, was written entirely in ColdFusion, and is now owned by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.autobytel.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Auto-By-Tel&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I also own &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.emteksys.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;EmTek Systems&lt;/a&gt; - a consulting and custom software development company. Most of EmTek&apos;s work has been custom development, but several years ago we released a couple of ColdFusion add-on&apos;s (CFX_Spell and CFX_Zip).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I now live in Oak Park, MI with my wife Marcy and our seven children. Before moving to the Midwest I lived in London, England (I was born there) and in New York and California.&lt;/p&gt;
