by kai 17/01/2006

Got a strange issue today. I was running a page with a very simple CFDOCUMENT tag and had a typo in the tag – so ended up with a syntax error. Fixed the error and I got the whole document as a binary dump within the browser window (IE), it didn’t make any difference if […]

Alternative CF engines

by kai 02/01/2006

Yesterday I’ve had a chat with AgentM and we were talking about IgniteFusion (which I honestly never dealt with before). With that, I’ve had a look around the web and my email inbox and decided to compile a brief overview: 1. Blue Dragon 2. IgniteFusion 3. Coral WebBuilder 4. Railo BlueDragon is obviously the most […]

Conversion to CFEclipse

by kai 08/09/2005

Converted two more people in the office today to kick away CFStudio or Homesite and to work with Eclipse 3.1, CFEclipse 1.2, Quantum DB and the Eclipse web standard tools.

Java (and CF) garbage collection: Why should you care?

by kai 27/08/2005

Just recently I was asked why one should care about JVM tuning, garbage collection and other “very low-level settings” (the latter from the point of view of the average CF developer). I mean, I’m talking and writing about that pretty often… so – a reasonable question. Let me give you an example with figures… Let’s […]

CFMX 7 Developer Certification

by kai 26/07/2005

Jippie, just passed the CFMX 7 Developer Certification with 92%. This means I passed on the Advanced level again. While preparing, I wondered how the new exam with all the new CF7 stuff would be like. Well, too bad one is not to talk about the content and the questions after doing the exam, but […]
