As of this moment, OOPhoto - my latest attempt at learning object oriented programming in ColdFusion - has no security. Anyone can create galleries and post photos ... 29 Sep 09:23 I just wanted to take a moment to give a big congratulations to my friend and fellow ColdFusion developer, Simon Free . He has taken a huge initiative at his company, trying to get all of his developers ColdFusion 8 certified. After months of preparing presentations and hosting after-work study sessions, Simon Free has gotten over 90% of his developers certified! More than just a ColdFusion, FLEX, and AIR developer, Simon is someone who s ... 26 Sep 09:41 Someone contacted me this morning needing help debugging an image thumbnailing problem. Part of the issue that they were running into was that the Duplicate() function did not seem to work with ColdFusion image objects. This can be confusing since the documentation seems to indicate that it will work: Task : Create a ColdFusion image from another ColdFusion ima ... 24 Sep 15:57 For those of you using my POI Utility ColdFusion custom tags to produce formatted Excel documents for use with Microsoft Excel 2007, you might have seen documents that looks like this: ... 24 Sep 09:42 A little while ago Nathan Mische solved a problem that some people were getting with my POI Utility project in which cell styles were "bleeding" into other cells.

In that post, I demonstrated that compound variable paths could be used as keys to the CALLER scope : <cfset CALLER[ "REQUEST.Foo.Bar" ] = objValue /> This call would store objValue into the Bar key of the Foo struct located in the REQUEST ... 23 Sep 09:00 Yesterday, I was messing with ColdFusion custom tags when I wondered if there was any way to break out of a loop created using ColdFusion custom tags and the CFExit tag: <cfexit method="loop" /> After a few minutes of coding, I discovered that the CFBreak tag throws an error and that all of the CFExit variations, when used in the calling page, cause processing to completely stop in the current template (not the custom tag loop). Ok, ... 22 Sep 10:04 Last week, I finally finished reading the Fundamentals Of Object-Oriented Design In UML By Meilir Page-Jones. Clark Valberg suggested this book to me almost a year ago when I was struggling with my Exercise List sample app for object oriented programming in ColdFusion. He said it totally changed the way he thought about object oriented programming. You may have also heard Hal Helms ... 19 Sep 17:08 The latest OOPhoto application can be experienced here .
