My production manager has been trying so hard to think of ways to improve our code maintainability – rightly, he has considered Object Oriented Programming (OOP) as a possible solution to the problem.
Some of us in the team are really supportive to this. He’s quite excited as for the first time in few years he [...]

I have trial running CFBuilder for few hours, I’ve been quite impressed so far. It has a very similar feel to CFEclipse.
I ran into a problem at work when I was trying to create a ColdFusion project for my work project, I got a message “The project already exiss in … “ whenever I tried [...]

As I have blogged previously, during webDU conference Yahoo!’s YQL really caught my attention. I really think it is really cool how you can leverage your SQL and XPath knowledge to easily query any websites that you want.

In this post, I will show an example how to re-use your server side validation code for client side validation. This is achieved by using Ajax call to the server side validation code.

Well it’s over, it was good experience, personally not so mind blowing as CFCamp awhile back but I did learn quite a bit too. I’ve done it, I have come to webDU at least once in my life
There were 5 tracks on this conference (Team/UX, Web I, Web II, Flash/Flex, ColdFusion), I [...]

I don’t know why this never occurred to me until I read Hal Helm’s post (and no one told me about it)..  This an email that I just sent around to the team (hopefully someone will try it out).
Usually when we create a form we need to do:

Client side validation
Server side validation

This is an [...]

I just got a ColdFusion error message that I never encountered before: org.apache.bcel.generic.ClassGenException Branch target offset too large for short
As usual, Google is the place to go and found out info from easyCFM, it looks this error was thrown when a CFC is too large.
I am not 100% sure what constitutes a large [...]

This is what I wrote in wiki today.
I have a struggle in having confidence with the design decision that I am making because:

Eventhough I know OO, I actually know little about real world OO
I’m having problem finding someone or some people at work that have the skills or even the interest in embarking [...]

I wrote this on my company’s wiki couple of days ago.
Sometimes it can be quite hard to get SQL out of CFQUERY especially if the SQL is dynamically generated AKA LOTS OF CFIF/CFSWITCH statements inside the CFQUERY (this should be another discussion on why it is necessary to do something like this)
I have encountered [...]

Thanks to Pablo Varando in providing this free ColdFusion hosting. I’ve been thinking of getting a ColdFusion hosting myself, so I guess this is a baby step towards that. I’ve signed up for an account, hopefully I can do some interesting stuffs there.
