STL_Tag by Patrick Arillo
The C++ Standard Template Library (STL) with its rich set of containers, iterators and algorithms should be a consideration to help facilitate your Cold Fusion CFX tag development. The use of STL is likely to make your tags more reliable, more portable, and more general, therefore reducing the cost of producing them. Other benefits include support for OOP concepts, function and class instantiation for any data type - user defined or built-in, and increased performance. (More...)

Here are some of the Strategies I use to help me develop Rapidly. (More...)

SEO Resolutions by Esther C. Kane
So did you hear the news? Internet sales this year (so far) are up 24% from last year. And in case you don't remember, last year they were up from the year before!
Part of that is because there are more households on the Internet now and 2005 is the first year that broadband users outnumbered phone dial up users! So, with greater speeds and more individuals visiting the Internet, it's no wonder sales are up!

Uploading Files, Delivering Them to the Visitor by Michael Cummins
One of the most frequent tasks I am called upon to perform is handling browser controlled file uploads that are ultimately delivered to the site
visitor. I just finished writing a nice project manager for a client this weekend, which inspired the article you are reading now. I cannot share
with you a blow by blow manual on how to handle each step, but I'm sure that the outline of how I handled things will give you great insights on writing your own.
Let's break down the process into several trains of thought... (More...)

SEO Promises, Guarantees and Scams by Esther C. Kane
There are so many SEO promises, guarantees and scams that it's impossible to
keep up! Almost weekly I receive emails from clients forwarding me some email

Introduction to the Fusebox Methodology by Tom Langer
Many people ask what fusebox is, and when many first look at it, they may be confused or dont understand its practicality. Hopefully that will change after reading this article.The fusebox style of coding is simply that, its a style. This method uses the closest thing possible to an object-oriented approach in the Cold Fusion code. I have coded many different CF-based applications, many in a spaghetti code, and many in a fusebox methodology (More...)

Deriving eConomy from eCommerce by Doug Mee
At this stage in the evolution of the "e" economy the information superhighway is visibly taking shape and its more of an information super-river than an interstate. Like a river the digital economy has taken the path of least resistance, lurching toward the most proximate opportunities emerging from incremental changes in the technological and market landscape (More...)

Employment, Revolution, Convergence and You by Margaret Ortiz
It's no secret that today's workforce is not your father's Oldsmobile. It's no surprise the workplace of today is immensely different from the workplace of 1950. But the evolution seen just in the past ten years is as colossal. The major influence in the evolution, of course, has been technology. Everything, EVERYTHING, is bigger, faster and better than it was yesterday... (More...)

How to Setup the CF Studio Debugger by Tony Petruzzi
Let's see, I've been programming in CF for about 1 1/2 years now. Throughout this time there has been one question that I have sought the answer to repeatedly, only to have each chance of obtaining the answer swept away by some unknown circumstance. There was nothing that I wouldn't have given to get the answer to the question that drives me to drink on Fridays: How do I setup this stupid thing called the debugger to make it work for me?

Pre-Processing ColdFusion Pages by Tony Petruzzi
This is probably one of the most asked questions in CF. How do I process a portion of a page and then throw it back to CF to process it again? I have no idea why people want to do this, and I have yet to run into a situation that I had to use this method. Personally I have always found a way around it. Still though, to this day, people often ask this question and get the reply, "There isn't no way to do this.". (More...)

A Little JavaScript Never Hurt by Tony Petruzzi
For some reason I have really been getting into JavaScript lately and I have to say that it is one the easiest and quickest ways to enhance your website. What's really cool is that you can embed CF in JS to create some dynamic JS functions. I this short little intro to JS, I'm going to show two things that a lot of people keep asking me how to do.

Newbie to Newbie: The Trials and Tribulations of Cold Fusion Tenderfoot by Harlan Yaffe
It is pretty standard fare in "Designer-Ville" these days: some Johnny-Came-Late-to-the-Web bursts through the door, ringing his hands because he truly believe his Online challenged status has cost him the deal that would have enabled him to retire by the end of year and live out his days in languid repose on the beaches of Antigua (More...)

The Style File by Harlan Yaffe
Fire and water, MTV and the Moral Majority, the Hatfields
and the McCoys, Web designers and Programmers: what to these groups have in
common? Nothing, except the fact they all hate each other with the veracity of
a bi-polar schizophrenic on a collision course with a revolving door. As for
fire and water, looks like nature has pretty much solved that one for us. (More...)

Here Comes The Bride by Harlan Yaffe
Amidst the usual spam and newsletters received because "I had requested this information," there was a very ominous looking message in my email box this past Thursday.
