It's been a while since I've been to London (July 2004) but I'm heading down from Glasgow this Sunday (14th) to see some old Uni friends, catch up with a few CF compadres and ... let's be honest, to drink heavily :) Interestingly enough, Peter Bell is in London at the same time so we've already agreed to meet up for a few beers.

After reading through Ben Forta's CFMX7 Developers Study Guide a bit more, I thought I'd follow up on yesterday's post about the order of evaluation in regards scope prefix. On page 58 of the book there is a text box that states: Query variables don't always need the query name prefix. If the variable is referenced inside <cfoutput> tags with the same query object specified in the "query" attribute, you do not need the query name as a prefix.

OK, here's a wee bit of code that sort of had me raising an eyebrow. #emailAddress# - #firstName# What would you expect it to display???? I immediately said "andy@creative-restraint.co.uk - Andy" Turns out I was wrong. It actually displays "how did this happen?

As a few of you will be aware, the Scottish ColdFusion User Group will once again be running the Scotch on the Rocks conference next year. The two day conference, running May 31st and June 1st, will be the second time Scotch has taken place.

Not much else to say other than Scotch on the Rocks 2007 is a go! http://scotch.scottishcfug.

There's been a discussion brewing today. It started off about the potential need for a ColdFusion User Group in Northern England (the UKCFUG in London and and the ScottishCFUG in Edinburgh being too far away) and from there it digressed to the topic of where are all the UK based ColdFusion developers. As an aside, the ScottishCFUG have moved to an entirely online medium, using Adobe Connect to deliver all their meetings.
