Ask the Training Staff
Well, the new millennium is finally here (sorry for those of you who thought it started last year) and with it comes many unanswered and some unanswerable questions.
Server Stability and Site Performance
Thanks to those of you who sent in questions recently. I hope the answers you received from me or other members of the Allaire training team were helpful. For our readers, here are a few of the questions that were submitted.
Choosing a ColdFusion Web Host
So you need a ColdFusion Web host. Typically, your first question would be: 'Who do I choose?' More important, I believe, is the question: 'Why am I choosing?' This statement may not seem relevant until you look at the 'whys' of cho...
Interview... with Todd Peters of Paper Thin, Inc.
CFDJ: Tell us about PaperThin and what you do. Peters: PaperThin markets and distributes a content management product based completely on ColdFusion - the CommonSpot Content Server. It targets organizations with intranets, Interne...

A Cold Cup o'Joe - Part 1
There are times during the development of a ColdFusion application when CFML is not the best tool for the job. While this might seem to be a contradiction, it's true nonetheless. Allaire recognized this and while CFML has gotten to ...
Java For CFers - Part 3
In my last two columns we looked at JavaServer Pages (JSP) and compared ColdFusion development to JSP development. As explained, JSP is designed to dramatically lower the cost of entry into the Java development world, and JRun, in ...
Finding a Web Host
Companies often find themselves forced to look to others to provide professional Web hosting services because of the costs associated with maintaining an on-site Web server. These services are known as Internet presence providers or Web hosts.
Good Hosting is Hard to Find
In just a few years the Web has exploded and now consists of millions of sites. Accompanying this boom are thousands of companies that host these sites. But the technologies behind the sites are still immature and stories like t...
Hosting: More Than Hardware
It's a common affliction in the emerging Web economy. You need to build and launch your first commercial Web site. Or your current site no longer provides the power or bandwidth capacity needed to meet your e-business requirements.
Paired Custom Tags
You may have heard that Release 4 of ColdFusion introduced support for nested and paired custom tags. This offers many possibilities for creating more complex custom tags.
The Ins And Outs of Establishing a Web Presence
With the Internet and e-commerce becoming ever more important to business success, the connection a company makes to the Web and the way it's maintained and managed can become a major success factor - or a major liability.
Welcome to the Web Hosting Focus Issue
For those of you not keeping track, I wrote an editorial last April about finding a CF hosting company and promised more information the following month. As you may have noticed, it never came. Why? Because when I outlined Part 2, ...

Picture yourself in a hotel lobby in Washington, DC, clutching a laptop bag and a suitcase, surrounded by about a hundred other people with similar luggage and appearance. You've just checked in, and you're flipping through the co...
Forget Work; Let's Play
Let me say it up front: I'm frustrated by the training offered to developers. I'll set a scene; tell me if it sounds familiar.…
