The thread I've chosen to
examine this month is all
about driving ColdFusion
sites with Microsoft
Access databases. Very
often I hear developers
state that 'Access is
evil,' or that you'd have
to be crazy to use Access
on the back e...
Over the next few months
ColdFusion developers
across the globe will be
handed the keys to a
next-generation Internet
application development
model. The culmination of
over four years of work,
which began even before
the current rel...
Last month I introduced
you to ColdFusion
Components - CFCs for
short. Following a brief
introduction to the world
of objects, we looked at
CFCs and their syntax,
and simple calling
conventions using . This
month we'll continue this
topic.
We live and work in an
increasingly portable
world. As programmers,
most of us remember the
large steel boxes of the
'80s and the even larger
steel and glass fixtures
of the '70s. We wrote
software that our users
accessed through th...
ColdFusion MX is a
complete,
from-the-ground-up
rewrite of an existing
piece of software,
shifting its
architectural base from a
purely interpreted
language sitting atop C,
its base language, to one
that compiles into Java
code. That's quite a
shift.
ColdFusion MX is here,
and with it come bundles
of exciting new
technology. Two pieces of
this technology involve
XML and Web services. By
constructing a simple Web
service to syndicate new
articles, you'll get a
firsthand look at h...
Query simulations, or
querysims, are a means of
simulating returned
records from a database
when no database exists.
This article explores a
method of using the tag
to create an easy
approach to custom log
file processing.
I'll plead guilty to
having tortured more than
my share of bytes into
completely unnatural
configurations. In the BX
years (Before XML), if
you had to share data
with your business
partners you might have
represented the data in
c...
One of the reasons I was
first drawn to ColdFusion
was the built-in
functionality for such
things as sending e-mail,
making HTTP requests, FTP
uploads - all the myriad
subsidiary functions you
inevitably find yourself
using when you...
This month I hope to shed
some light on Oracle's
larger datatypes for
those of you who like to
do things big. Let's go
straight to the deep end
with stored procedures.
They're faster and more
secure than standalone
queries.
I took a vacation a few
weeks ago, traveling to
Los Angeles for a couple
of meetings (can never
get totally away!) and
some fun under the sun. I
arrived at the Orange
County airport about 20
minutes ahead of schedule
and phoned the ...
