Re: Storing decimal parts of a second cfqueryparam

Re: Return boolean from a CFC query
Got a few questions about your CFC method... 1) where is the variable DSN coming from? 2) Should your WHERE be: WHERE profileID = #session.profile.profileID# ? (essentially the reverse of what you have) 3) consider using cfqueryparam in your SQL when using dynamic values (yeah, I know... that's not a question) 4) along those same lines, you should var scope your query name. cfset var isStudentEmployee = /, and then run the cfquery. It may or may not be a big deal for this particular method... but in general, you want to var scope any variable used in a method. This ensures that the variable is bound to that method and that method only. 5) you're running the query, but returning true regardless of the result of the query. Should there perhaps be a conditional in there? 6) As Michael F. suggested, you might want to pass the profileID variable in as an argument to the method. It's generally considered to be bad practice to reference session (or any outside scope) from within a cfc method, as that breaks encapsulation (meaning the method should only know about itself... nothing about the 'outside world'... anything it needs to know should be sent in to it... think black box). 7) To see what the query is returning, you can always do a cfdump var=#isStudentEmployee# /cfabort / right after the /cfquery and above the cfreturn On Wed, Jan 26, 2011 at 10:47 AM, Adam Bourg adam.bo...@gmail.com wrote: Here's what I'm trying to do.

Well, it will return the actual recordcount... which is a number. But CF implicitly converts numeric values to boolean values. Any non-zero value is true, while any zero value is false.

Those languages have become popular because their users - their communities - have evangelized and created tutorials and books and great free open source software and so on. You can't lay the fault at Adobe's door... Sure, but PHP, Ruby and other languages don't have an up front cost associated with them. So yeah, nobody had to market those languages, but at the same time, those languages didn't have to overcome the objections of why should I pay $x per server up front and then the costs of upgrades... I think the CF community has done OK in creating tutorials and the like. Books, maybe not so much since version 6, but I think that's more due to publishers not being so interested in publishing ColdFusion books. Great free open source software? Yeah, we may be lacking in that area compared to other languages... but I think that price tag issue still comes into play there. You can set up a PHP server and grab wordpress and be up and running. If you want ColdFusion OSS, you still need to buy the ColdFusion license... so I don't know that the demand has been there enough to justify the effort. Don't get me wrong... you and I have had this conversation at CFUG meetings. There just doesn't seem to be as much enthusiasm in general within the CF community as there is in some other, younger communities. We've talked about some of the reasons why that might be (mature language, many users content to get by using what they know...), and that's unfortunate. But CF is, and likely always will be, a niche product. We'll never have the sheer numbers that PHP or Ruby do. So as enthusiastic as our army may ever be... we'll never have the numbers to go out and really make a significant impact on the programming community as a whole. We're just not big enough (and yeah, i know, that's what she said). So yes... I think there's some responsibility in the community to evangelize and help spread the word. But I do think we are perfectly justified in laying a good amount of the responsibility at Adobe's door. It's their product. They charge for it (the product, the support). I think they share a huge chunk of the responsibility in helping to spread the word, and I'd personally love to see them make more of an effort in that area. If Microsoft could show up as a sponsor at a CF conference, why doesn't Adobe show up at MS events? Or other non Adobe-specific events?

But, if I remember correctly, in CFMX there were some pretty nasty memory leaks that could occur if variables weren't scoped correctly. Does that apply to newer (8,9) versions of ColdFusion? Yup. All function-local variables in a CFC should be var scoped. CF 9 did introduce the local scope inside of CFC methods, so doing this: cffunction name=myFunction cfset local.myVariable = foo / /cffunction is functionally equivalent to doing: cffunction name=myFunction cfset var myVariable = foo / /cffunction So while there are now 2 ways to declare a variable as local to a given function (assuming you're on CF 9), the requirement still remains that you do need to scope these variables properly in order to avoid leakage. -- Charlie Griefer http://charlie.griefer.com/ I have failed as much as I have succeeded.

Re: (ot) jQuery question
You don't need the i or o arguments for the code I posted. They were
remnants from copying your original code.
From the docs (http://api.jquery.com/each/):
.each( function(index, Element) )
so the first argument is the index. .each() is looping over an array
(the array of selected DOM elements), so for each iteration, 'i' (or
whatever argument you declare) would be the position in the array of
the current element.
The second argument is the element itself, which can optionally be
passed in. Not sure why I couldn't get it to work using o rather
than creating a new instance of $( this ) for each iteration... I'd
imagine passing the element in would be more performant, but probably
not enough of a difference to be noticeable.

Would you be so kind as to actually explain what function
the i and o play in function(i,o) ? They're variables/values
passed into the function, right?
I tested their necessity by taking them out of your
code and just using function() instead of function(i,o)
and the code still ran the same. And even some of the
example code I found performing this kind of functionality for lists
used both i and o in the (), but only referenced the o
in the actual function.
I've always been confused about the role these variables
playing in function(i,o) and whatever was in the ().
Does the first argument (in this case, i) always mean something
specific because it's in the first argument position? And the
same with the variable that's in the second position?
I scoured the Internet trying to get a good explanation of using
these arguments, but haven't found what I needed to understand.
Thanks for any insight you'd share!

If this is just a project that you're working on for the sake of honing your skills, and it doesn't have to be publicly accessible, there's no reason you couldn't continue to work on it locally using the developer edition of CF.

Re: What is wrong with this loop update?
You say you're trying to update multiple rows... but your WHERE is stating, WHERE project_id = #URL.projectID#. Since URL.projectID most likely isn't changing during the iteration of that loop, you'll only ever be updating one row 'x' number of times.

Hi All -
I am trying to do the following:
script language=text/javascript
function abc(arg1, arg2) {
cfquery name=q datasource=..

..
}
/script
Is it possible to pass javascript arguments to a coldfusion query which is
in turn present in the javascript block?
ColdFusion runs on the server. JavaScript runs on the client. By the time
the browser has rendered the page, ColdFusion has done its duty and is
probably hanging out smoking a cigarette or using the little application
server room.
You can output CF variables to JS just like you do to HTML...
script type=text/javascript
var myName = cfoutput#myName#/cfoutput;
/script
... but it's not a two-way conversation (much like my conversations with my
wife). If you want them to talk to each other, you need to introduce AJAX
into the equation.
So short answer is, no... a JavaScript variable can't be used to manipulate
a ColdFusion variable (but the converse works a treat), without utilizing
AJAX.
And maybe worth noting that the language attribute of the script tag is
deprecated in favor of type.

I was not expecting text to work at all, for obvious reasons. Neither was I expecting numeric to work because values like 3.6.1 are not numeric. At least not in the strict sense. Hence my reluctance to say it it works CF -is- treating these like some sort of numeric value tho... because if I added a value like 10.2.5.4 to the original list, a numeric listSort fails saying a non-numeric value was found.

You'd think, right? :) I haven't even looked at the code yet. Just came onto this project last nite. But the previous developer is a friend and I trust what he says. He wrote the current site, and he told me in no uncertain terms that the time zone issue would not be even remotely easy to remedy via code. I don't know why, exactly, but I trust what I've been told. At some point I'm sure I'll dig into the code and find out. But for now, it looks like moving hosts will be the path of least resistance.

I understand this is probably a loaded question, but what are peoples' opinions on the best conference to attend? I've been developing ColdFusion apps for about 13 years now and have most of the features that have been around for a while down pretty well. However, I have only one client using CF8, and am just in the process of installing CF9 for my first client right now. I'd love to especially learn how people are using some of the new features in CF9, as well as Railo. They've all got their pros and cons. I think CFUnited has the widest variety of content (from beginner to somewhat advanced), and it's certainly one of the biggest CF-based conferences (probably second only to MAX). Lots of networking and good times with friends. Based on what you've said, I'd look at cf.Objective(). It's a smaller conference with more advanced topics, and probably more that you'd find relevant. While conferences like NCDevCon may feature Flash/Flex etc, you shouldn't let that dissuade you. As long as there are enough sessions specific to what you want to learn, doesn't really matter how many other sessions there might be, or how off-topic they are. And as far as NCDevCon goes, you can't beat the price. IMO, regardless of which one you may choose to attend, it'll be worthwhile. Of the conferences that I've been fortunate enough to get to (CFUnited, cf.Objective(), and MAX), it's evident that the folks behind them make every effort to ensure that it's both a valuable and fun experience. - Charlie Griefer http://charlie.griefer.com/ I have failed as much as I have succeeded.

Re: CF Shopping carts
No, the fact that it's not elitist makes it not elitist. Dave's analogy about the auto mechanic and the tools was spot-on (as per usual). If you want to do a job, you're expected to have the tools to do the job. I also agree 100% with what many have said about this particular client. I've dealt with those toxic clients before, because like yourself, I couldn't afford to turn anybody away. I learned right quick that often, it's better (and more profitable) to -not- take on certain clients. I can virtually assure you that things with this particular client are not going to end well. Been there, done that. It's never ended well. I feel for your situation. We just made a move as well, and we're hurting from it. I'm also freelancing right now and I definitely feel the pressure to put food on our table. We're a single income family of 5, and it's definitely challenging at times. But the fact of the matter remains... it's not an elitist attitude to expect that somebody who wants to perform a particular job will have, or be able to obtain, the tools necessary. In all sincerity, I wish you the best of luck and hope things work out in the end. But sniping at folks who are only trying to offer assistance, even if you don't agree with their perspective, isn't going to get you out of the hole any faster.

I even suggested that he use café press for now until; he gets some sales (He wants to do a t-shirt site...I questioned whether or not this would even take off as he would be a really small fish in a huge ocean of t-shirt sites). He insists on doing his own site...so finding a good cart to integrate into this that he can afford is the difficulty...which is why I asked here and instead of getting advice from folks like Sean, I was told that if I can't afford the carts out there for 200, I shouldn't even be a developer. So if you really want to point a finger, I was just defending myself. This is all so screwed up, it's not even wrong. 1. $200 for any software development product is on the extreme low-end of the scale. If you can't afford to buy the tools you need to do a job, you shouldn't do the job. This doesn't reflect on your skills as a developer, etc, it's just a fact of life. That's all that Sean was saying, and he's absolutely right, and you're absolutely wrong to label it as elitist BS. There's a cost of entry into any field that goes beyond your own skills. If you want to be a freelance programmer, you have to buy a certain amount of stuff, like a computer. If you want to be a car mechanic, you have to buy tools. Etc, etc, etc. So, I point the finger at you for mischaracterizing Sean's response. I'm sorry you don't have the money you need to do this job, but there you go. And, you have a history of doing this with Sean specifically, and it's out of line, and I think you should stop. 2. You're working for nothing for a client that's going to make nothing. You have bigger problems than the cost of an ecommerce package. If your client wants specific functionality that's in a COTS package, he needs to buy the package, not you. If it's too rich for his taste, that's his problem, not yours. But you're just wasting your time doing this work. Clients like this, who aren't willing to pay for what they want, or can't pay for what they want, they're toxic and you should avoid them. This guy wants Amazon functionality on a Paypal budget, and you're not going to be able to make him happy, which leads to ... 3. You're using the wrong tools for the job. If you want to do low-margin work, you need to use low-margin tools. You know, that might mean PHP, because there's a much larger FOSS ecosystem around PHP than CF. CF simply has never really aimed at that market. Frankly, if I were you and I wanted to go after that range of clients, I'd drop CF like a stone. Not because PHP is better, of course, and I wouldn't like it, but it makes sense in that market. I'm sorry for being harsh, if you perceive this as harsh, but the facts are what they are.

Agreed with the previous responses. If it's at all an option, I'd normalize
the table and get rid of the comma-delimited lists.
If you can't do that, another route could be using a query or sub-query with
IN:
assuming variable codes is 'B01,E09,E20,G12,J07'...
first you'll want to qualify the list elements with single quotes:
cfset codes = listQualify( codes , ' ) // note that's a single quote
enclosed in double-quotes
SELECT
{ columns }
FROM
{ tablename }
WHERE
feature_code IN ( cfqueryparam value=#codes#
cfsqltype=cf_sql_varchar list=true /)
That, of course, assumes you can make two distinct queries (the first would
actually get the value assigned to the variable codes). You may be able
to massage it into a subquery and do it all in one swell foop. Something
like:
SELECT
{ columns }
FROM
{ tablename }
WHERE
feature_code IN ( SELECT feature_codes FROM listings WHERE { where

You can go one of two routes that I can think of... 1) create a new method that only queries the table for the single column you're looking for. You can even get creative and pass in the column name as an argument so that you can return a specific column. 2) create a new remote method that calls your existing method (the one that returns all columns), and within that new method, do a QoQ (or if the query only returns a single record, you can do myQuery.columnName[1] and return that. The only drawback here is that you're still running a SELECT * when all you really need is one specific column. But if you're only returning a single record, the overhead shouldn't be noticeable.

Re: ColdFusion Builder Released!
I don't think the overall number of CF developers matters. CFBuilder isn't really aimed at -every- CF developer (I don't think... this, of course, is purely conjecture on my part). Not too long ago, Ben F. blogged that only a relatively small number of CF developers even use CFCs. Let's say it's 20% (i think that's actually higher than the % Ben had suggested). So 80% of CF developers are 5 taggers. They're not going to see the value in most of the features of CF Builder. So... I'd say the 2% might be pretty close to what they've actually targeted. And given that they may be targeting a very small percentage of their user base, it wouldn't make sense to price it too low. And since I got sucked back into the convo (I'm an asshole), I'll also say that I don't agree with the assertion that Adobe thinks CF Builder is worth $50. I'd argue that they're bundling it at a discount and considering the loss an investment in attempting to cross-promote between CF and Flex communities. If they convert 'x'% of Flex developers (who currently don't use CF on the server side) to CF, the short-term loss turns into a long term gain. (again, IMO).

On Mon, Mar 22, 2010 at 10:59 AM, Eric Roberts ow...@threeravensconsulting.com wrote: The issue is that it is a plugin, not a full IDE...Eclipse already provides the IDE and that is free. If this was a package that they developed on there own like DW...then that would be different. Even so, they should be encouraging developers, since we are the ones doing their marketing work for them so that we will encourage our employers and clients to use CF. I'm going to go ahead and disagree with the fact that it being a plugin for an existing framework should have any bearing on the cost. The cost has to do with Adobe being a publicly traded company needing to generate revenue and hopefully post a profit. The cost would therefore more likely be based on the amount of effort (time/money) involved in developing (research, planning, developing, testing, marketing) the product. I build web sites on existing frameworks (Model-Glue or ColdBox). I don't charge less money. I charge for the time I spend, and the rate is something that I calculate that makes the time I spend working (and away from my family) worth the effort. By building it on top of Eclipse, Adobe is giving you the flexibility to extend the IDE to fit your needs by installing any number of the hundreds of existing plugins. I think that's a good move for most (again, bearing in mind you can't please everybody). I also think their move to bundle CFBuilder with FlashBuilder -is- encouraging developers. It's encouraging me to make the foray into Flex, which is something that I've wanted to do for a while now. It will likely also encourage Flex developers (who may be using PHP on the server) to take a look at ColdFusion. I get that it doesn't encourage you, and I'm genuinely sorry to hear that. Again tho, it falls into the bucket of ain't gonna please everybody. I think these types of discussions in general would be far more productive if people would keep that in mind. It may not work for you... but it may very well work for a majority of others. Saying, as Justin did, it doesn't work for me is far less provoking than, man, Adobe WTF? What are you guys smoking?. Again, if it doesn't work for you (and by you, I mean anybody who shares your sentiment), and cfeclipse does... I'd suggest that you be grateful that a project like cfeclipse exists. It was suggested on their mailing list that those who fit into that category maybe take some fo the $ that they're -not- spending on CFBuilder and donate it to cfeclipse. Or, as was also suggested on their list, donate your time in helping out the project (doesn't have to be with actually coding the IDE, but maintaining the web site, etc). -- Charlie Griefer http://charlie.griefer.com/ I have failed as much as I have succeeded.

On Mon, Mar 22, 2010 at 2:28 PM, Mary Jo Sminkey mary...@cfwebstore.comwrote: The cost has to do with Adobe being a publicly traded company needing to generate revenue and hopefully post a profit. The cost would therefore more likely be based on the amount of effort (time/money) involved in developing (research, planning, developing, testing, marketing) the product. A lot of us hoped they would see that selling it a lower price point would help to increase the uptake of the language as a whole and thus ultimately sell more server licenses. For a large company like Adobe, profit is what the company makes as a whole, not what one product alone brings in. Microsoft learned this a long time ago and has used free and low-priced items to increase their revenue in other areas, and it's certainly a large reason for their success. Bundling it with FlashBuilder may be their way of trying to increase the uptake of the language as a whole and thus ultimately sell more server licenses. By doing this, they're potentially introducing CF to PHP developers, Java developers, etc. Everyone who uses Flex but doesn't use CF on the server side. I'm not exactly sure that selling it at a lower price point would have the same effect. It'd appeal to those of us who currently use ColdFusion... we'd conceivably be able to buy the product for $199 instead of $299. Ok... but I don't see where that would necessarily increase the uptake of the language as a whole. I also think their move to bundle CFBuilder with FlashBuilder -is- encouraging developers. It's encouraging me to make the foray into Flex, which is something that I've wanted to do for a while now. Not if the price discourages me from even buying the product in the first place. But you're already a ColdFusion developer. If I wanted to buy FlexBuilder 3 last year, I'd have paid $299 (i think... it was certainly in that neighborhood). So we know that Flex developers are willing to pay that amount. They're going to pay the same thing this year, and get ColdFusion Builder. Adobe is pretty much giving it away to the Flex community in hopes of doing what you say... increase the uptake of the language as a whole. We CF folk.. we pay a little bit more than the $199 we hoped it would be, and get FlashBuilder. So not only is Adobe conceivably introducing CF to other developers, but it's conceivably introducing Flex/FlashBuilder to us. I'm sorry that people think $300 is too expensive. I know that expensive is a subjective term, and while some people can whip out their credit cards and order a copy without a second thought, some of us will have to save up for it. But as has been pointed out... if you use the product for a year (and it really shouldn't even take a year), how much time are you going to save... how much more productive could you possibly be? Maybe the answer is, not enough. In which case... there are alternatives (CFEclipse and others). For me, I think it'd be enough (I'm currently using TextMate on Mac as my IDE... so I don't really have a horse in this race, so to speak). I've used the beta of CFBuilder tho, and I can see where it'd save me time. I run multiple CF8 and CF9 instances on my dev machine. Generally one at a time... not having to jump out of the IDE, into terminal, stop one service, start the next, back to the IDE... instead I can just open up the servers pane in CFBuilder, stop one service, start the other. Code insight, extensible via writing extensions in CF (-not- Java)... I think I'd make my $300 back in under a year, and probably end the year being up a few bucks. I get that it's not going to be for everybody. It's not going to work for everybody. I just wish folks could be more pragmatic about it and say, yeah, it doesn't work for me... but I can see where they're going with it.

Re: ColdFusion Builder Released!
I'd go to another dealership and buy a different car. If the car I wanted -only- came with all the options, I'd say, Hm... ok. I can pony up for the in-dash GPS, the alpine sound system with the bose speakers, the rear camera, the massaging seats (etc), when all I really want is a car with the massaging seats or I can go buy a different car with just the massaging seats. Life's like that. You can choose to say, OK, I want this badly enough that I'll pay the price, or you say, I want it, but not that badly. Then you move on. Life ain't gonna cater to you (or to me or to anyone else). The dealership's selling that car with all the options and they're doing it for a reason... right or wrong... and their choice to do so may end up getting them a different result than what they were hoping for. But that's their choice, just as we have to make our choices. I choose to believe that Adobe put some thought into their approach. Again, I definitely see that it isn't an approach that's going to make everybody happy. No approach would. But I see that even though it may not cater to me and what I need... it could potentially serve to meet their needs (cross marketing, growing their communities, etc).

Show me where I (or anyone in this or any other thread) said this bundle is beneficial to all. Take your time and look hard. They should offer other options. That would be the right thing to do. The right thing to do is highly subjective. For you, it might be the right thing to do, and as I've said (repeatedly), I understand that. This is the direction that Adobe's chosen to take. And while I get that it's not beneficial for everybody, I see where there is the potential for it to be beneficial by way of cross-promoting CF to Flex people and Flex to CF people. That, to me, doesn't seem like the wrong thing. All I'm asking people to realize is that because it's not right for them does not make it wrong. There is no scenario under which it would be right for everybody. It's the same reason why many of us stopped using Dreamweaver. While DW is a great package, it has a lot of features that are completely useless to us as developers, while Home site or Eclipse was just right as far as an environment for developers as opposed to designers. If I don't use flash or flex, what is the value of Flash builder to me? (hint: $0) I stopped using DW because I found it to be bloated, sluggish, and unresponsive. I've heard that it's gotten better, but I've not had the opportunity to try it out lately. To you, the value of FlashBuilder is $0. I can't say, I get that any more than I already have. To others, there's value. Perhaps I've been wanting to try my hand at Flex, but wasn't prepared to shell out the $ for FlexBuilder/FlashBuilder. Now I've got a reason. There's some value. So again... no value to -you- specifically != no value. Considering that as far as CF is concerned, we are the marketing team since they can't seem to have the drive to market it themselves, making us happy is a good idea. We are the ones that suggest CF to clients and employers. We are the ones that push for upgrades. Adobe makes lots money from our actions. I agree that there have been issues with marketing CF. For years I'd have loved to have seen a CF ad in a trade magazine that promoted CF to developers of other languages. But do you not see the marketing effort here? Cross promoting FlashBuilder to CF developers, and CF to Flex developers (who may be PHP or Java or Ruby people)? There's value in that effort. It may not work, but I applaud the effort. People seem to keep coming back to, Adobe needs to take care of us to grow the community. I don't get that. If they take care of us they keep the community content, but it doesn't grow. We're still going to push CF to clients and employers. You might stop doing so because you're upset about the fact that the CFBuilder pricing isn't catered to your needs... a handful of others might as well. But I'd venture to guess that it won't be a statistically significant amount of people. CF server is the product we use and love. A number of us will shell out the $300 for CFBuilder -and- FlashBuilder. A number of us will continue to use CFEclipse or TextMate or Coda or BBEdit or...

We are their Marketing in this department. It's in Adobe's best interest to allow ColdFusion Developers access to tools that assist with development on their platform, because it actually costs money to install on the server. I'm not disagreeing that there could be value there. But there could also be value in the cross-promotion efforts. The two are not mutually exclusive, but Adobe chose to go with one over the other. Doesn't make it wrong. Look at Flex, Flash, ActionScript These platforms or whatever are available on X amount of computers around the world, at no additional cost to the client or the developer. Two totally different business models. Look at how Macromedia did it... ColdFusion Report Builder is FREE! Totally separate product that can be used in conjunction with one of products you have to pay to install on a device... ColdFusion Yes, you should pay for anything that needs to interact with their FREE scripting languages, but not the paid for ones! Not sure I see the correlation. But looking back at Macromedia, if memory serves, ColdFusion Studio (when it was an IDE and not a product suite) was not free. So OK, let's look at how Macromedia did it ;) Oh, and ColdFusion Studio was $495. 10 years later we have a better product (arguably... at least in its potential) and it costs $200 less. HomeSite/HomeSite+... also not free. I think those are better correlations than CF Report Builder. Every ColdFusion license should come with 1 Builder License. Hey don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be against this :) But I'm also not going to rail against Adobe because it doesn't. Separate license that can be given out as promotional value to a new developer who is interested in CFML. They in return, start using it, love it, and tell their clients to install it on their server. $$$ Those same developers can download the 60 day trial (that's 2 months... I've downloaded trials that expired in 15 days, well before I even had the chance to give 'em a fair shake). That should be more than enough time to start loving it, telling their clients to use it, and then shelling out the $300 for it (-and- by virtue of doing so gaining exposure to FlashBuilder). Win/win. They don't need to do that with their other languages, it's a given so the fact that you need to purchase a development tool there is a given. ColdFusion, not so much so. This goes back to the ever-present debate about the cost of ColdFusion server versus the cost of other similar platforms. Yes, CF costs. PHP does not, ASP does not, etc. We make up for the cost via rapid application development and in the end, save a metric assload of money. I don't see the IDE argument factoring in here at all.

But I'd venture to guess that it won't be a statistically significant amount of people. CF server is the product we use and love. No, I totally love CFML. Adobe lucked out when they bought Macromedia! I agree. I think most developers will agree. I don't think Adobe's going to lose a lot of existing developers over this, but they stand to gain (many?) more. A number of us will shell out the $300 for CFBuilder -and- FlashBuilder. A number of us will continue to use CFEclipse or TextMate or Coda or BBEdit or... That's misleading. It's $600 ish as you need to purchase FlashBuilder Premium, I don't have Flex Builder currently.

Re: Local DEV setup, multiple projects/websites
While I do advocate keeping your development setup as close to the production setup as possible, I've always used Apache locally, even if I was using IIS remotely. Made it easier to do things like multiple sites and setting up the .dev sites as outlined above and in the blog entry i linked above. I believe that nowadays IIS does the multiple sites thing. If that's the case, you should still be able to set up the foo.dev and bar.dev sites in IIS, which gives you the equivalent of top level domains, even though they're subdirectories within your webroot.
