Join us each week as we cover the latest in ColdFusion, the web application programming platform from Adobe. We discuss using ColdFusion in the Enterprise, ColdFusion tips and advice, programming practices and more in a fun, educational yet entertaining format.
This week we were LIVE on Ustream.TV! To put it simply, our topic covered the basics of OOP for ColdFusion Developers, including the basic object oriented programming principles and the concepts of encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism. The resources discussed today were Mark Mandel’s ColdDoc and the open source ColdFusion component libraries known as cfcommons.Join us again next week!
The TIOBE Programming Community Index was the source for a rant on Barney’s Blog that we covered today and Brian shared his thoughts. In discussing “ColdFusion” vs. “CFML” we talked about an experience with Railo, the easy install and terrific support by the Railo group! Also, check out the CF Meetup we discussed on using Eclipse effectively. I won’t cover the details of the Habits of a Good Developer discussion on this blog, you’ve got to listen to it for yourself. However, if you’re inclined...
In the spirit of consistency, we’ve returned for another week of ColdFusion chat and Micky Dionisio is back in the fold and armed with knowledge. Before jumping in to Unit Testing in ColdFusion, we chat a bit about a blog post regarding ColdFusion Builder and share our thoughts on some ColdFusion Meetup presentations, first on ColdFusion Builder and next on BlazeDS with ColdFusion. Just moments before we began recording, Micky opted to take the lead on the discussion on Unit Testing and instan...
We’re back… again! ColdFusion Builder was released this week and we’ve got some remarks about the pricing model. We’re joined by Bob Silverberg who shares some specific information about the upcoming cf.Objective() Conference. Last but certainly not least, Brian covers design patterns in their various forms with some examples of both effective and ineffective implementations, with helpful commentary from Bob Silverberg.
Today's discussion centers around ensuring software integrity.
This week, we discuss preferred ColdFusion IDEs and make comparisons between ColdFusion Builder and IDEs available for other platforms. We get a tip about CFDevCamp, a planned event in the San Francisco area scheduled for November 7th, Mike surprises Brian and Micky with a pop quiz to measure their CFSCRIPT skills, and we discuss REST web services in ColdFusion and make comparisons between using REST versus ColdFusion’s built-in SOAP functionality in CFCs.
There’s nothing more fun than exposing horrifyingly bad ColdFusion code, that is so long as it’s not your own. Mike found Ray Camden’s Friday Challenge all too tempting and submitted some of the ugliest CFML known to man. Just to be fair, there’s plenty of poor HTML and JavaScript in there as well! Check out some of the contributions of lengthy code submitted on Ray’s blog!AdobeMAX is in full effect and we’re not there! Listen in on our discussion regarding these conferences and let us know yo...
Today, we discuss the "CF OOP" debate.
Yet another ColdFusion podcast is born, this one brought to you by enthusiastic ColdFusion developers. Today, we discuss the features of ColdFusion 9 that opened new doors and paved the way for an exciting new ColdFusion Framework called Quicksilver.
