Check in every day for up-to-the-minute news, events, and developments in the ColdFusion industry. Visit www.sys-con.com/coldfusion and be the first to know what's happening.
To elucidate a manner in which ColdFusion programmers can write better performing, cleaner, and more sensible applications, this article will illuminate the noncoincidental relationship between the discipline of logic in philosophy and the writing of ColdFusion applications. Understand...
Keeping a development project organized and on point is a common issue that Web designers and application developers alike often struggle with. Managing your development team, their tasks, and the multiple versions of files they're working with are problems that many of us find...
As a collector of all the Web application construction kit books (lovingly known as CFWACK), I figured The Macromedia ColdFusion 5 Web Application Construction Kit would just be a recycled version of previous books - with a dash of new features thrown in. I was wrong. Yes, ther...
Stored procedures. Ah, yes. The dark side of database access. You've heard the rumors - faster processing, less network traffic - and have been tempted. But you've also heard those on the easy path whisper about how complex these procedures are...
One of my philosophies when dealing with computers is that they're generally inexpensive in comparison to people. To have a warm body (and most developers fall into this category) making modifications to code can be expensive. I've always felt that making code easy to maintain, if not ...
To secure your Web-based application you must close all known holes in your hardware and software as well as those you inadvertently open in your application's code. This article addresses possible holes in your ColdFusion code that result from explicitly trusting the data your...
Q:What's OnRequestEnd.cfm? A:OnRequestEnd.cfm is the twin brother of Application. cfm. When the code inside a file named Application.cfm is automatically included at the beginning of every .cfm file in the same subdirectory (and any directory below, provided that there isn't another Ap...
You're nearly finished with the code you've been slaving over for hours (or days or weeks, or maybe it was just a few seconds' effort). You're about to turn it loose for your customers to enjoy. The questions are: Is it ready? Do you know it will work? Have you tested it? If so, how? I...
No, isn't a new ColdFusion tag coming in Neo that you just haven't read about yet. It's my witty (at least I think it's witty) way of introducing debugging, one of the focuses of this month's issue. It's something that every developer has certainly faced at one time or another, and if...
ColdFusion 5 is a great product, so much so that I've dedicated six of my last seven columns to introducing and analyzing its new features and technologies. ColdFusion 5 is mature, fast, reliable, and robust, and with its release Macromedia has demonstrated a definite commitment to CF ...
So Socrates says, but I think if we were to pick out one trait that novice developers share, it might well be the unwillingness to test code. Why is this? Well, I can't speak for everyone, but I remember when I first began developing applications; after struggling so long to master the...
CORDA Technologies Inc. has partnered with SunGard Expert Solutions to embed PopChart Pro charting and graphing software into the SunGard Expert Solutions family of IT solutions for the financial services industry. PopChart Pro creates charts and graphs that enhance the user's ability ...
Imagine, for a moment, a world in which we all wrote perfect code - a world in which we'd never have to spend precious time debugging our applications. Okay, your moment's up. The world is, of course, far from perfect, and the reality is that we spend a fair amount of our time ...
