And so I have been working with Mach-ii, ColdSpring and Reactor for more than 2 months now, I think a follow up for my previous post is now due.

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 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 got 64, which means I am still long way from mastering the concepts, but I am quite happy as well, I didn’t scored as bad as I thought I would. Now I wish there’s similar Real World OO course offered here in Australia.

Beans question
But it’s a very good reading indeed, it’s quite enlightening to see how people discuss OO not only from the academic point of view but also from the commercial and real world application point of view.
One of things that I want to achieve this [...]

Too much to digest now, will re-read and revisit this excellent thread:
I Just Can’t Understand Object Oriented Programming (OOP) And Join Tables

Our new framework has gone quite a major “upgrade” recently. The database abstraction layer is changed considerably to accomodate the usage of newere PHP’s MySQL interface called MySQLi. MySQLi is supposedly better than the standard PHP’s MySQL interface. One notably advantage is the support of prepared statement. After using it for a week, I guess [...]
