How not to use ColdFusion! A sad story!

by kai 15/11/2007

Oh Dear, I was just taking to a friend of mine back in Germany – actually the talk moved on to CF-related stuff and a reasonably large CF site over there. Disclaimer before I start: this is a general rant and not against particular people. It’s just sad to see how people with a very […]

coldfusioncommunity.org

by kai 15/11/2007

Another social network – sigh – need a third screen to always keep those types of apps/websites opened 🙂 Coldfusioncommunity.org is a bit different though because it’s very tailored to people who actually work with CF. Have a look and give it a try, I’m obviously in there as well: http://www.coldfusioncommunity.org/profile/KaiKoenig

CFEclipse article on IBM Developerworks

Very nice – IBM Developerworks have published an article from Jim Priest on the CFEclipse ColdFusion plugin for Eclipse. Besides an introduction tutorial on installation, Eclipse terminology and the CFEclipse views, the article also covers debugging with CF 8 in Eclipse as well as deployment using the FTP Synchronization of Aptana. Excellent article Jim, and […]

JRunConfig Errorurl

by kai 03/11/2007

I’ve come across that because a customer of mine wanted to have a nice error page displayed in case of having to restart ColdFusion or any other woe with the underlying JRun. You can configure that particular type of error page in the HTTP server connector and it’s fairly straight forward for Apache as it’s […]

The Swiss CF boom…

by kai 02/11/2007

…is apparently reaching new heights. The SWISS CFUG has currently 12 CF-related job listings online. Given how small the Swiss market is, I’m very happy that CF is taking off there (again).

Where does ColdFusion “sit”?

by kai 02/11/2007

Answer: it’s the “hub” – I really like Tim’s visualization of ColdFusion’s positioning in the centre of the IT infrastructure! Very nice, and I hope as many people as possible grab this interpretation and use it in their efforts to establish CF in their organisation! And while we’re speaking of Tim Buntel: Andrew Muller did […]

German CFUG: Hidden Gems in CF8 and Coldspring

by kai 02/11/2007

Charlie Arehart presented “Hidden Gems in CF 8” for the German CFUG a few weeks ago. I can really recommend this preso to anyone who is either looking into buying/upgrading to CF 8 or even already using it. The recording is available online. While I was looking at the German cfug.de site, I came across […]

Kay Smoljak@Sitepoint

by kai 22/10/2007

Kay Smoljak, world-known CF- and web standards activist has started blogging about ColdFusion on sitepoint.com. I’m very happy about that because Kay is a very respected, honest, intelligent and straight-forward geek friend of mine (D*** it, I should have opted for the Cyndi Lauper concert – someone wants to sponsor my flight?) – and I’m […]

CFCs in CF 8 are REALLY fast

by kai 15/10/2007

I’m working on a project which partly makes use of Mark Mandel’s Tranfer framework. As with most of the object-oriented frameworks, it makes a pretty heavy use of CFCs. Whereas this was working reasonably well with CF 7, I found that in a particular set of use cases, ORM processing could easily take 2-3 seconds. […]
