Builder.com: Polymorphism and ColdFusion Components
Brian Kotek has written an article on CFC polymorphism for Builder.com (see http://builder.com.com/5100-6386_14-5144505.html). While the explanations feel a little skimpy at times, this is still worth the read.

A Forklift for ColdFusion Development
From Mindrally: "Forklift will change development with ColdFusion MX. Forklift will help bridge the gap for CFMX developers who have not been introduced to Object Oriented Development and the advantages that is brings to application development. It will also help those who are accustomed to using...

Custom Tags Versus CFCs
It is possible to write an entire ColdFusion application using just Custom Tags (and a single file as an entry point). Similarly, it is possible to write an entire ColdFusion application using just .cfc files (I've yet to see one of these, but it is doable). So, when should Custom Tags be used? And...

CFML Radio
Canada is home to CFML Radio, broadcasting on 107.9 FM in Burnaby, British Columbia. This caught my attention when forwarded to me, but alas, it has nothing to do with ColdFusion. Site is at http://www.radiocfml.com/.

Last night I presented a Flex Sneak Peek to a combined CFUG/MMUG in London. The room was full, but we started late because of snowfall that almost brought London to a...

GPRS Saves The Day
I am on the road again, somewhere between Edinburgh and London. I have no network connection (wired or wireless), and it looks like my modem is dead (this is the first time I have tried the modem since my laptop was repaired, I should have tested it before I left). So how am I posting this? Via a...

Use for Debugging
was introduced to ColdFusion in version 5, but apparently there are many CFers who have yet to discover this invaluable tag. In the past week I received three different code help e-mail requests, all of which I answered with suggestions, all of which included the use of in test code, and all of...

Building Custom Flex Controls
I am working on an application that requires users to select from long lists of options. I am not a fan of multiple select list boxes (that whole shift-click ctrl-click thing is a pain). In HTML I usually use lots and lots of checkboxes, but what I'd really like is a list of checkboxes, kind of a...
