New CF community/tutorial site (in German)

by kai on 30/06/2005

Reinhard Jung started a new German-languaged community site for CF developers. It's called cf-workshop.de and he published several articles and tutorials already. More is to expect over the next weeks and months.

Sorry folks, the content is just in German language...;)

CFUnited: Wednesday afternoon sessions

by kai on 30/06/2005

The afternoon keynote by Joel Spolsky was a pure blast. This was - believe me or not - the best session I ever attended at any conference. This guy is even better live than via blog or book. In the afternoon I attended a very good session on CSS Box Model. Finally even I as a very design-challenged CF-developer understood how it works properly. The other afternoon session was on design patterns…

CFUNITED: my morning sessions

by kai on 29/06/2005

Well, let's say my morning session. I intended to be in a session on Verity but missed it due to a bunch of highly interesting discussions with Mike Nimer, Tim Buntel and Ben Forta about various CF topics...;) Guys, again, I'm so looking forward to the CFMX 7 Updater - you'd love the enhancements regarding Flash Forms... So, my "second" session was about "The good, the bad and the ugly of CF…

Another code name: ColdFusion "Scorpio"

by kai on 29/06/2005

"Scorpio" is the code name for the new ColdFusion major release. Work on it started but obviously there is no release or even preview yet :-)

Ben just talked about the directions they're heading to:

- continue to innovate regarding frontend and functionality
- allow to monitor, access and understand the internals of the server

Especially the latter would be a vast move, and I'd love to see that!

Macromedia officially to support CFEclipse

by kai on 29/06/2005

Tim Buntel just announced that Macromedia is officially going to support the CFEclipse project. Important: that doesn't mean a buyout or something. CFEclipse stays open source, MM will just put support and knowledge into the project.

This is awesome and the right decision from my point of view! They also announce a new "nightly build" and I'd personally expect a 2.0 release later this year.

ColdFusion Merrimack

by kai on 29/06/2005

ColdFusion "Merrimack" ist the code name for the upcoming ColdFusion MX 7 updater. But - and this promises to become very, very interesting - it won't just consist of a bunch of bug fixes, it will provide some new features: - new supported plattforms: MacOS X, Red Hat AS 3/4, Suse Linux Enterprise 8/9, Oracle AS 10g - finally there will be a CFCProxy, which will allow to call CFCs and their…

Overall Band Score 8.0!

by kai on 25/06/2005

Yeah! As some of you might know, I was studying English with Wall Street Institute in Germany during the last months to improve my English. For several reasons I decided to take the IELTS exam recently (International English Language Testing System) - you never know what you might need it for ;-)) Today I got my Test Report Form and ...drumsticks... got an Overall Band Score of 8.0 (out of 9.0)…

Finding the best setting for simulatenous requests in CF

by kai on 15/06/2005

Life is always surprising, ColdFusion as well. If one talks about finding the best or just a good value for the simulatenous requests setting in your ColdFusion server, the recommended approach is to start with a value of 3 to 5 per CPU. Usually this works pretty good, maybe you have to adjust the values to 6 or 8 or even 2, but this time it was a bit different. I spent the last two days to…

The new style

by kai on 09/06/2005

Finally... the new style is online. I couldn't stand the old look & feel of this blog over the last months. People knowing me are aware of me being design challenged, so I decided to go with a nice template and just reconfigure it to my needs. And here we are, it took me several nights during the last week to get it done, but today I just had to upload the style sheets and it worked ;) By the…
