ColdFusion Good Times

ColdFusion has come a long way since I first started using it back in 2003. I started using version 5.0. It was at that time owned by Macromedia.

Later on Macromedia was bought out by Adobe. I'm sure some were afraid that Adobe would cease production of ColdFusion, but they were good and played nice, keeping CF around.

ColdFusion is currently in version 9. Not sure when version 10 will be released, but I'm sure it will have some good stuff to go with it. The updates usually do.

Some things I find interesting about ColdFusion are the following:

  1. Rabid application development
  2. Integrate Java in with your pages, via cfc's or scripting
  3. Works nicely and plays well with others
I'll come up with a better list later, but right now those come to mind. I mean it better play nice with Java, it was re written using Java altogether.

Suicidal Ideation

 Over the years I've had to deal with suicidal ideation. Those are thoughts of being dead, some more extreme than others. It causes issues for me a lot of the time.

Ever Wonder

 Ever just sit and wonder about the things to wonder about? There are so many things that you can enjoy and think about or wonder about. It's just possible that you would be able to do such a thing. I'm not certain how it would go for you, as I am only a person. I don't know how you feel. So here we are, just waiting for something amazing to happen. It doesn't happen all the time unfortunately. It can be annoying at best.

Multidimensional Arrays

Ah Multidimensional Arrays. Nothing too crazy in JavaScript. Just a little bit of this and that. So typical arrays are fun and easy. You create them like so: var colors = new Array(); colors[0] = "Red"; colors[1] = "Yellow"; colors[2] = "Blue"; Well that's fine and dandy, but what if you want to associate something with each of those? For example, what if you wanted to create a menu? You'll need at minimum a link name and a target. We could do something like this: var colors = new Array(); colors[0] = new Array(); colors[0][0] = "red.htm"; colors[0][1] = "Red"; colors[1] = new Array(); colors[1][0] = "yellow.htm"; colors[1][1] = "Yellow"; colors[2] = new Array(); colors[2][0] = "blue.htm"; colors[2][1] = "Blue"; function createColors() { document.write('<ul id="colors">'); for (var i = 0; i < colors.length; i++) { var link = colors[i][0]; ...
