Personalized URLs (purls)
Does anyone have any experience with these? Apparently they're all the rage and I've seen some SEO url topics about taking pages that might typically be formed: http://www.mysite.com/index.cfm?name=MyName; and re-form them as: http://www.mysite.com/MyName/ And I have a feeling that this is the key... does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? What's a good approach using CF? I can see a few different ways to accomplish this, but I'm not sure which would be the easiest, most CF-friendly, etc. If anyone has a tutorial to share, or a personal experience with this type of url/variable passing, I'd REALLY appreciate it...

Re: Can I ask a question? (RE: Frameworks)
Yeah probably a little... Nah, I didn't take them that way. Education is completely different from daily work experience, as I'm sure you're well aware. As I previously indicated, we're just a medium sized advertising agency. We don't build CMSes, we don't build enterprise applications. We just build small marketing and promotions web sites. I've never needed tools to assist in designing a database, I've always just used Enterprise Manager and built them. I've never needed any high end versioning because there's me, and at most, two other programmers. Checking out files is only slightly easier than yelling across the hall, hey, don't work on that because I'm working on it now. So of course, different strokes for different folks. So the question didn't originate from an education point of view, it just came from a practical experience point of view. I haven't ever needed to use a framework with the relatively light programming I do, so like anyone in my position, you always look for ways to make your life easier and make your programming tighter and better, and with all the talk about frameworks lately, you start to think, hey, maybe there's something to this, I wonder if it would work in our case? After all this discussion, it's become obvious to me that we're probably just fine building applications the way we're building them, and CS3 will work well with the system of we have in place, especially being so tightly integrated with a full blown art production department that we rely on so heavily. So nah. I can see how Eclipse would be pretty cool and useful and all that, and perhaps, if we somehow manage to land a client that requires a heavier website than we normally provide we'd take a look at them, but I'm pretty sure we're chugging along fine. I do appreciate the Eclipse soapbox though. It's nice to see people as passionate about that stuff as I suppose I am about Dreamweaver. Nice reply.

Re: Can I ask a question? (RE: Frameworks)
With your background I am suprised you use DW, I would have thought Eclipse and SVN would be your bag. If I may ask, why? I hand code mostly in Dreamweaver's CodeView. I should probably preface this entire conversation by noting that I run the interactive department of a medium sized Advertising Agency. So our goals here are probably way more graphically and brand oriented. I work with an entire art department that delivers artwork to me in PNG form that I simply bring directly into Fireworks and slice up, moving it then directly into Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver links to my PNGs so any changes to the images automatically open up Fireworks and take me straight to the master PNG file. We've just been working with the Macromedia workflow as long as I remember, and it's never given us pause to sit and think about any type of framework. ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

Re: Can I ask a question? (RE: Frameworks)
Hi Jeff, A very quick answer is that if i came and worked for your company would i know on the first day which snippets did what? Would I conform to your standards? Frameworks allow people to pick up code and run with it quickly and conform to rules set out with in the framework. Well, we'd sit you down in front of a computer that was already built and ready for you. Pointing you to our in-house development server, and all the sites would be pre-loaded. Your snippets would all be arranged by type and named explicitly, so the answer is probably, yes, if we hired you and interviewed you and discovered that you were a trained programmer who was familiar with Dreamweaver, then we'd expect you to be able to do exactly what Dreamweaver does out of the box. As far as standards go, we're a very open ad agency with very open minded programmers. Our standards change about as often as CF does. We didn't use CFCs until they were made available, but when they were, we all used them. We all comment our code *a lot* and our group always performs what's called a post mortem on every site we deliver. We have a meeting at the conclusion of every new job to discuss what we learned, where we might've done better, and how we can apply it going forward. Our standards are a moving target much like the business we're in. Our workflow with Dreamweaver allows people to pick up code and run with it quickly and conform to rules that we all use as part and parcel to our development team. I just always thought this was how Dreamweaver was supposed to work, and I'm surprised at how many people simply don't use it the way (I understood) it to be designed... as an IDE.

Re: Can I ask a question? (RE: Frameworks)
And surely, like most if not all CS grads you would have learned a design pattern in whatever OO language you were taught? A framework probably was shown as well, and it's benefits? Not really. Design patterns, sure. But frameworks? Never. I graduated from CompSci around the mid to late 90s. We were still using C and Borland for all our work. It wasn't even until after I finished school that Java was even taught, much less framework discussions. I was always taught, whenever and wherever you get your job programming, you'll learn that they probably have procedures in place that you'll have to learn in order to work well with the team that you'll join. I guess that was our framework discussion. ~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 MX7 integration create powerful cross-platform RIAs http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJQ Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:276937 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: Can I ask a question? (RE: Frameworks)
In short, there's nothing you NEED a framework for, but there are a lot of smart developers out there, and I generally prefer to trust code that someone else wrote (and tested, exercised, and then released to a large community) over code that I wrote (with no other vetting). Especially for the mundane (but VERY important) glue bits. And this perspective has nothing to do with CF, it's global to programming, which is why there is such a huge affection for Spring, Struts, Hibernate, Tapestry, etc., etc. beyond CF's borders. Okay, now THAT I can see. If we do most (if not all) of our programming using MVC, is that heading into framework territory? I mean, if I were to interview prospective new programmers, and I made sure that the way they IMPLEMENT code is to use MVC, and the PROCEDURES in place to help them do that is the methodology we're using, are we sort of using a pseudo framework? It's worth mentioning also that your current framework/methodology seems effortless to you largely because you're very familiar with it, and understand all it's ins and outs. A new framework will automatically seem a lot more cumbersome initially, because you lack that familiarity with it. Yeah, this is another really good point, but don't all new jobs require a bit of ramping up time? I mean, people here need to know where and how to check out files. How to get art from the art department, how to store files for backup, and where to archive daily work, and even how to fill out a timesheet to track their workday. Isn't all that part of that newbie learning curve that every business has? Here are where your snippets are, Here's where the development server is, Here's the SQL Server, and its password, Here's how to get to our development server's CFAdmin etc etc etc? It seems (at least to me) that once you're over the I'm new here curve, then it all just works the way it works. I don't think in about ten years or so of working this way have I ever run across an employee who says something along the lines of, this is difficult to get or I don't understand how this system works. But I *do* totally see your point. If we're big on MVC here, what framework picks up that ball and runs with it? ~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 Flex 2. Build powerful, scalable RIAs.

Considering they didn't include FLEX in dreamweaver CS3 I'm now starting to ask myselft the same thing. http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/web/features/allfeatures/ Can I be honest here for a second? This is *precisely* why I asked this question. The lack of Flex support in Dreamweaver in my opinion is apalling. Knowing that Fireworks can now write all my MXML straight out of it, and I can't do crap with it in Dreamweaver really pushed one of my buttons, and now I'm actually looking long and hard *at* CFEclispse or some product that can do both double duty as a Dreamweaver substitute (File Check-in/Check-out, linking to Fireworks, Component Tab, Datasource Tab) and a healthy Flex helper... Which made me think that perhaps with Flex coming so quickly, and our needs to be able to ramp up Flex work so quickly, that maybe it was time to dump Dreamweaver and move to a friendlier way to develop the kinds of apps that are rapidly moving into acceptance.

Re: Can I ask a question? (RE: Frameworks)
You shouldn't have to explain why you love DW over Eclipse. DW is pretty darn awesome and I'm not scared to spread the word, either. I, too, live in DW code view and shun frameworks. Hi, I'm Mike and I'm a DreamWeaver user. I'm sorry. I honestly didn't want those comments to come across that way. I was just *really* wondering if what I wasn't already doing *was* in fact, a framework, and if, during the course of the way I and my group programs, is a framework worth looking into. I was merely trying to sort of set the stage for some people in the know to provide me with some honest, clear, advice. I'm starting to feel like we're all at a crucial turning point. RIAs, Flex, MXML, and AJAX, and now Adobe CS3. So you start to think, should I get CS3? or is this the time when I start to look at alternative ways to get the results we've been getting? I'm not shy about learning curves, or any of that. If a particular framework will work for me, and help me be a better programmer, then I'm on board... But what I'm most afraid of, is abandoning something that's worked so well for so long for something that just seems... I dunno... the flavor of the day maybe? I just see so many Framework discussions going on, and I see so many people advocating different frameworks, that I start to wonder if it's not the way to go, then I alternate back to the other side of the fence and think, no, it's worked really well for this long, and Adobe is still delivering us good versions of Dreamweaver, so perhaps I'll just stick with that. I REALLY wonder more than anything if I do my employer a disservice by not looking into these frameworks and methodologies, but when you start to go down that road, it just seems like there are too many decisions to make and too many ways to skin the same cat. But again, opinions are like... well... you know... so please don't take mine to heart.

Re: Blending JS with CFForm for password verification fields
Thanks so much Josh, that was awesome.
Man, they really should make it easier to add your own JS to CFFORMS. That's a
rough thing to dig into.
Yeah, it's a bit of a PITA but here's the scoop:
CFFORM creates a function called _CF_check(yourformname), so if your form
name is myform the function is called _CF_checkmyform.
Your additional validation js will need to look something like this:
function addtl_validate() {
// do your validation check here
doCFvalidate = _CF_checkmyform(document.myform); // this runs the CFForm
validation
if(doCFvalidate) { // passed the CFForm validation, so submit
document.myform.submit();
}
else { // failed cfform validation
return false;
}
}

Can I ask a question? (RE: Frameworks)
We've (our development team) been using Dreamweaver, and we use it internally for checking in/out documents. We write CFCs and utilize Dreamweaver's Components tab. We use store all of our most used code in snippets that we all share, and we're all trained Computer Science graduates (not designers or graphic artists who picked up web programming)... Why would we use a framework? What would be the benefit? I only ask because all of these framework discussions always leave me with the feeling of, hmmm... that sounds really 'neat' but with our workflow it seems really redundant... or perhaps better said, that seems like a lot of overhead to achieve what we already achieve pretty effortlessly... Is there something I'm missing from a framework that I don't get from simply utilizing all the tools available in Dreamweaver? Even Ajax, which gave me pause a few months ago, thinking, hmmm, now I *might* need a framework to implement some of these whiz-bang Ajax doo-hickeys now seems a thing of the past with Spry shipping with Dreamweaver CS3. Am I missing something? We don't re-write code. We re-use everything. It's all available in our snippet library, and our CFCs are constantly being reused. Is there something more that we could be doing with a framework that we're not able to do without it?

(either your SQL or CF) 2. check to ensure that you haven't already selected that record 3. if duplicate entry, go back to 1 4. repeat until 20 records are selected 5. stop I mean, it's a little more complicated to *really* randomly select 20 records from 10,000, but it's certainly not hard with some kind of iteration over that process, right? ~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion?sdid=RVJW Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:274311 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Just a question/discussion point RE: Web services..
Okay, so I write a CFC. I set access=remote and poof, I have a web service... right? So if I write a method, let's say, getComics() and it returns a query object... well, that's just not going to work for people who aren't using CF, right? I mean, if I'm using CF and invoking the method using the web service url, I can output it, dump it, loop thru it, etc. But, if I'm using something other than CF, I wouldn't have any way to move thru that data, would I? In other words, PHP doesn't know what a ColdFusion Query object is. What's the approach here? What's the next step to making something that people using .net or PHP can return and use? Apologies in advance if this has already been rehashed before, but I'm genuinely kinda stumped about how to proceed, and I'm not even sure really where to go next for the next step here that I've obviously stumbled onto...

Re: Just a question/discussion point RE: Web services..
If I recall correctly, it's actually discussed directly within the CF documentation. But basically, it boils down to creating CFC instances to replace structures. For example, if you wanted to have information about a person in a structure, you would instead define and use a CFC to represent that information. Your CFC would have nothing but CFPROPERTY tags, which would essentially be used to provide named properties that would correspond to your structure keys; something like this: cfcomponent cfproperty name=FirstName type=string ... cfproperty name=LastName type=string ... /cfcomponent Man, I've re-read that three times now, and I'm just NOT following it. I'm so sorry Dave, but isn't the CFC the webservice? So you'd call for instance, getPerson() but that's not a method? Then, within your web service, instead of returning a structure (or an array of structures), you'd return a Person object (or an array of Person objects). But would an object be a cross platform object simply because I said it was? Who defines what a person object is? Is a person object the same in PHP as it is in CF as it is in .Net? Again, I apologize, but there seems to be something here that I'm just missing. This all stems from a web service that I'm trying to access that's just not returning ANYTHING that resembles the results I'm expecting. So I decided to just try and write my own web service that could be invoked remotely and return live data. I got that working really easily, but then realized that I was just returning CF objects (structs, arrays, query objects) that were fine in CF, but would be worthless to anyone else. That's when I started to realize that maybe there's a problem with the form of the data that this web service was returning, and I started down this road... I just haven't had an opportunity to work with WSDL and web services or XML very much, so I'm just in WAY unfamiliar territory... ~| Deploy Web Applications Quickly across the enterprise with ColdFusion MX7 Flex 2 Free Trial http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:273553 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Maybe something comparing the various AJAX frameworks out there, or how other CF'ers who don't normally use any kind of existing framework are getting into it.

Is there a reasonable place to pick up some quick pointers on more of the DOM/CSS work associated with javascript?

Boolean use of Recordcount
cfif qMyQuery.Recordcount/cfif is basically the same as saying, as long as there's at least one record returned, true. This returns true and steps into the CFIF if the recordcount is 1, 2, 300...

This is the probably the tenth time I've tried to install CF on a mac. Going back...oh, probably over a year or so. I'm giving up. Seriously. I'm not a moron, and nothing should be this difficult. I've tried to read every piece of help, I've contacted people off list, and I've done just about everything that I could do to simply have a development edition of CF running on a Mac Laptop.

And now for something completely different...language translation?
Translation services? How do you guys translate your sites into different languages? Also, if the text that you're translating isn't stored in the database, do you use cookies or someway to redirect and keep those preferences for people that choose a different language? If you have multiple pages that have to be in different languages, do you keep them in the same directory? IE: amenities/index.cfm, amenities/ index_es.cfm, amenities/index_fr.cfm... etc? Or do you redirect users to unique directories or something? How does that affect SEO? This is the first time a client has indicated an interest in translation, and I've never really had any experience doing something like that.

Hey, does anyone have any ideas regarding a top 40 voting system?
I've been asked to help out a friend conceptually, but I'm not sure exactly how to proceed. He wants to have a top 40 voting system where they will put 40 song titles up on a web page, and people will vote on them. Sounds pretty simple, but I'm not sure about what would be the best way. He seems to be leaning toward we'll put them on the site, and people will put them in the order that they want them in but that sounds kinda clumsy and unwieldy. I can't see people having the patience to REALLY do that. What about the ones near the bottom? Would people just get tired after about 20 of them and just submit? What would you do about ones that don't get votes or aren't filled in? What order would you present the songs in? Alphabetical seems the likely choice, but what about all the songs that begin with W or T or the ones shoved to the bottom? Would the songs beginning with A naturally gravitate to the top simply because of the way they're presented to the user? Do you see where I'm coming from? Has anyone ever built a voting tabulation system to do something like this? I was leaning towards a points system where maybe people picked their top ten songs, and they got a point value based on their ranking. 10 points for first place, 9 for second, etc, and totaling up all the scores each song gets. I realize that a TRUE top 40 system is a system that rewards sales, and so I'm struggling with how to rectify voting for something that would normally be easily to tabulate. Any suggestions, both from an interface standpoint, and the pure tabulations standpoint? ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:248555 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

RE: Video
Five minutes isn't really that long. What you don't want to do is attempt to use anything much longer than that as a Progressive Download. I was asking about the length just to make sure for instance, you weren't trying to throw up a 45 minute video or something. I'd hate for you to be disappointed. You can run into problems with video that's longer than about 5 minutes if you're not streaming it with things like audio drift, etc. The original's quality would be measured in terms of things like, how many frames per second? (you'd want something close to 29.97 fps) and what are the physical size of the frames? (NTSC video is 720 pixels by 480, and PAL video is 720 by 576) and what is the audio encoded at? (Sample Rate, Bit Depth, etc). So a high quality original would be around 29.97 fps, 720x480, CD quality audio... It simply helps Flash and any of the other video encoders if you start with the highest quality source video. If the video's been encoded already in something like mpeg, or wmv, then you'll run into quality issues there as well, as the encoder actually has to *decode* something before it can encode it, and most of those are very lossy encodings, especially things like mpeg. If you've got a high quality original, and it's at about 5 minutes or under, you should be fine converting it to flash video and simply serving it as a progressive download.

Hey, what are your doctypes? And why?
I've noticed as I've gone thru various solutions to various problems that have been posted online, that when you get their sample files, the !DOCTYPE changes a lot. Some people use HTML 4.01 Transitional, and some use strict XHTML 1.0, or maybe 1.1, etc I'm going to be honest, and admit that the types of applications I create are really not enterprise applications, nor have I ever done anything that sits behind any kind of corporate firewall, so my experience is really limited to client-driven, advertising-related, consumer websites. As such, I've really never strayed from Dreamweaver's default HMTL 4.01 transitional doctype. What doctypes do others use, and is that a question that's a framework debate all over again? Or are there very specific reasons you'd choose one doctype over the other. Is there a decent tutorial on doctypes *from the CF developer* perspective? ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/message.cfm/forumid:4/messageid:246415 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

That netflix sort thing, from your Queue
Does anyone here netflix? If you do, take a look at your queue. Let's say for instance, you have ten items in your queue, and over on the far left, there's a text field that contains your sort order for your queue. You might want to move 7 up to number 3. Now when you do that... How does it know how to fix the rest of the orders? Now here's an even better part...you can sort all OVER the list. You can make number 3 into number 7, and number 7 into number 8, then make 2 into 10then click sort and they're all correct. How does it know how to fix all the other ones? Better yet, how would you do this in CF? My thinking has been, okay, sort order is store in the table, but you have to temporarily store all of that into a struct IF AND ONLY IF the user click the update my order button, then somehow manipulate the struct, get all the orders right, THEN perhaps loop thru the struct updating each key with the new sort order, then proceed with the query for the new sort order and display that new sort order appropriately...

Re: That netflix sort thing, from your Queue
I may be wrong, but shouldn't it just be a matter of sorting an unordered list of numbers (i.e. positions in your queue), using bubble sort or some other such algorithm. Nah, it seems more complex than that. I don't know, maybe it isn't, but I still don't see how you rectify the list before updating the database. I must be missing something. I know the re-order button updates your order, THEN has to at some point UPDATE that table with the new sort orders, otherwise, next time you come back, it's not sorted correctly. So I think it's doing all that validation I suppose, client side, then updating the DB with properly sorted orders. In other words, no duplicate orders, no missing orders, etc. ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:241634 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

Does anyone have any recommendations for Message Boards/Forums that are CF based that are as close to being like phpBB as possible? I'm in the process of possibly being tasked to take over and redesign a site, and one of the things they've asked for is message board/forum continuity, and they're currently using phpBB. Now, the reason I want to find a CF alternative and hopefully port over their users, is because one of the things they're doing is creating lots of login type stuff sitewide, and I'm naturally going to use CFLogin and the CFLogin framework to validate users sitewide and provide security via that way, tying in session management for a shopping cart, little games, user persistence, etc, and I'd LOVE for the message board to be tied to that user persistence.

I don't see anyreason why you wouldn't be able to use the database that PHPbb uses and either import the usernames and passwords into what you're doing in CF or just feed off of the usernames and passwords directly. You could even do something where when they log into ColdFusion and they try to go to the forums that you pass the username and password into a page you create in PHP so that they are automatically logged on.

RE: Small CF Job - What the heck *is* emo, anyway?
Dude, I totally wondered if they really meant *emo*. I was gonna post an FAQ on emo, but I thought I'd get laughed at. That'd be a sweet job, I'm a big fan of most of the emo bands. -Original Message- From: Andrew Grosset [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2005 8:59 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Small CF Job - What the heck *is* emo, anyway?

Man, I'm just really banging my head over this one...
It's an event calendar and I'm totally cool with inserting an event giving it a date and time, and outputting it ordered by date. Cake. No worries there... However, my frickin head starts to explode when I start taking into account every frickin' possible way to add an event, especially when I look at this client's current list of events. There are events that are once a week, some are on say, the first and third monday, then others are every wednesday, etc. It's those recurring weirdly scheduled events that are causing me the most consternation. It just seems like if you take into account one way to do recurrence, some other way creeps in, and you've got to make another exception, then you start to feel like you're cobbling together code and slowly moving further and further away from a manageable application. Are there easy to use, easy to implement CF based calendars out there that I could use instead? Or is this easy enough to write yourself, but you've got maybe do certain things that I'm overlooking? Has anyone had to approach this problem of creating an easy to use, updateable, calendar that can spit out dates and gives the end user the ability to insert more than just a single event on a single day? Something even *approaching* robust? Anyone have any pointers, examples, code tutorials, anything that can make this a little easier to accomplish? -- Jeff Small LHWH Advertising Myrtle Beach, SC 29577 843-448-1123 Ext 254 ~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:225612 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
Re: More RAD than Ruby On Rails
They aren't code generators. My concern applies primarily to code generators. Ok, thanks Sean. Your concern makes total sense. I really need to get into FB here soon so I can stop asking ignorant questions. ;) Dude, no offense, but your question is hardly ignorant. I was following along with your thread. Don't ever think that stuff like this is ignorant. This is what we all need to know, and there isn't a single one of us (beside possibly Mr. Forta) who were born with the CF gene that instantly enables us all to know how to do things... Keep asking all those questions, I for one, was following along closely. I valued every contribution to this thread.

Why exactly was CFMX6 needed to save the product from CF5, if that's what you meant?

Re: Rumors from Max...
Seriously. Do we really need to have a bunch of retarded posts about the demise of ColdFusionAGAIN! Hmm..I actually didn't see it as the demise of ColdFusion...I thought it sounded like a really great idea. Take something that's had the benefit of years of company development and solidity, and open it up to the rest of the community? Make money off the development front end (Dreamweaver, Studio, Flex) and use the free back end to power it all? Sounded pretty cool to me. I didn't *even* think of it as the demise of ColdFusion. I mean, imagine if ISPs simply were able to install CF on whatever server they had and there was no charge? Remember, it's just a server product. There are a bunch of other server products that do pretty much the same thing (middleware) and they don't cost a dime. I think one of the main stumbling blocks in developing CF stuff is that you have to go find yourself a CF host, or buy yourself a copy of the software and maintain a server yourself. If it was something that anyone could get and install and run, I think you'd see a LOT more hosts offering it as just a standard server/hosting product, similar to the way PHP and MySQL are pretty much offered by *every* host on the planet. I think it'd rule. I don't have much confidence in Adobe in the middleware server space...call me skeptical. I just think the community has better vision than Adobe might have in terms of what may be best for the software going forward. It sure seems like they haven't been promoting it as a complimentary technology alongside of Flex like they *should* be... And yeah, it should've been posted to Community. I started typing and the autocomplete just filled it in without me paying attention, sorry. If you want to move it over there, I certainly understand. ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
