With the rewrite of ColdSpring , a whole load of documentation also needed to be ported, and in some cases, actually written for the first time, for existing functionality as well as new functionality. Unfortunately it became a real sticking point with getting a release of ColdSpring 2 out of the door. While the documentation […]
After a long 2 years of development, ColdSpring 2, Alpha 1 is ready for release! It’s been a long road getting here, but with the rewrite of ColdSpring, means that ColdSpring 2 comes with a stack of new functionality that should help you out with all your dependency injection needs, and then some!!! To give […]
I’ve been reading quite a few mailing list posts on ColdFusion based ORM, and I find that I’m seeing a lot of repeats on what configuration settings people are generally using when setting up ORM in their Applicaiton.cfc, and why they should use certain settings. I figured it would be useful if I wrote down […]
If you managed to miss my talk on Using ColdFusion Frameworks for Application Development, you can catch the recording here. I really enjoyed giving this talk, but it wasn't until I was well into the talk that I realised how much there was to cover (didn't feel like that much during practice!). I'm sure I […]
Next week I'm proud to (slightly belatedly) announce that I will be doing a presentation entitled Using ColdFusion Frameworks for Application Development at next weeks online ColdFusion Developer Week. We will cover a basic introduction to Model-View-Controller, Dependency Injection and Object Relational Mapper concepts, as well as take brief looks at each of the major […]
In case you missed the hullabaloo, registration recently opened for cf.Objective(ANZ) + Flex. I'm really excited about this years speaker line up, and honestly think that the sessions we have this year are the best we've ever had. We got awesome content on testing, frameworks, continuous integration, version control, and more. Basically, if it's used […]
In case you missed it, cf.Objective(ANZ) opened up it's call for speakers the other week . So if you are interested in speaking on ColdFusion, Flex, or just generally anything enterprisey and/or software development related, make sure to have a look, and put in an entry. Conference speaking is always an awesome and […]
cf.Objective(ANZ) is back again for another year, with it's usual two tracks of amazing enterprise ColdFusion goodness, as well as a whole new dedicated Flex and Flash track. No where else in Australia and New Zealand will you be able to get this type of delicious ColdFusion learning, combined with a sumptuous feast of front […]
Something I (somehow) worked out a while ago for adding a new ColdFusion server in ColdFusion builder, that I'm not sure is widely known. Adding a new server to ColdFusion Builder can be a bit of a pain, as you have to remember / work out a stack of details about the server, and make […]
A little late to the party, but I'm really honoured to announce that I was invited to speak for part of the keynote at cf.Objective() in this year. I'll be joined by such venerable cohorts as Ray Camden, Scott Stroz, Jason Dean and Bob Silverberg, so it should be a great time all around, and […]
