In the past, I've dabbled with Node.js (a server-side JavaScript runtime environment) on my local MacBook Pro. If you know JavaScript, it's not too hard to get something up and running on your local machine. Putting Node.js out into the wild, however, is whole other beast. Not only am I mediocre at managing web servers in general, I happen to know almost nothing about Amaz ... Read More »...

Thanks for this goes to Paul Irish. For a while now I've been trying to find a way to search for a value across multiple files that are loaded in a browser request. But every time I used the Search field in Chrome Dev tools, it would only search the current file. I'm talking about the highlighted search field below: Yes - I know - my MSPaint skills suck. ;) As I said, that only searches the current file. If there are a bunch of JavaScript files in one request, you're screwed unless you feel ...

Validating forms with JavaScript has been possible since the very beginning of time... or at least the introduction of LiveScript (the original name before the marketing drones got ahold of it). While it's not particular new or as exciting as Canvas based games, JavaScript form validation is one of the best uses of the language (imo) and something that can dramatically improve your user's experience. I recently had a reader ask how to do JavaScript form validation so I thought it might be nice t...

The Muse is a slow moving tools user. I just switched to CF Builder about a year ago in fact. Before that I was using CF Eclipse. I still use the venerable Homesite for quick troubleshooting on production servers or to review code. I'm using it to write this blog in fact. I have written my blogs in hand coded HTML for many years - which I'm sure, explains the copious amounts of in-line CSS throughout. But I'm a full convert to CF Builder now and have been for some time. All my "Code-for-produ...

A busy week (or so) of posts. The hot topic lately seems to be not just Stage3 but specifically 2D game development using Stage3D. Each week seems to bring upates to new or existing game engines and frameworks for 2D game development as well as tutorials on the topic. This week is no exception. Cool Stage3D Stuff A new version the Genome2D framework (version 0.3.5) was released and includes a number of new features including texture filtering, texture pivots and a number of new components. In ...

I remember when I started programming ColdFusion fresh out of college in 1999. I had a 3 day HTML class which was my first exposure to HTML, then read books. I would "buy" the Dummy series, then return them unmarked for a more advanced book on the same subject covering ColdFusion, SQL, and HTML. The Adobe ColdFusion Web Application Construction Kit (CFWACK) book was my bible along with a ColdFusion video series. Flash to today, would I recommend someone learning ColdFusion the CFWACK book. Most ...

Yesterday, I tried to apply some deep thinking to how dependencies should be managed in a modular JavaScript application architecture that is using RequireJS . The conclusion that I came to was that RequireJS should manage and load "definitions" while your application should manage and load "instances." This makes sense since instantiation is the domain of your business ... Read More »...

I've done a few projects now that make use of PhoneGap's database support. Like most things in PhoneGap, it just plain works. But I've encountered a few things I thought could be done a bit easier, so I've built a simple utility class for my future projects. I thought I'd share it with folks and see if it would be useful for others. My utility library has the following features: executeBatch: Given a file path (via URL), you can have PhoneGap read in an XML file that contains a set of SQL co...

I get a lot of emails asking questions. Some of them come in directly to me, some via the Contact page on my blog. With the latter, developers have to provide an email address. Most developers seem capable of doing this, but every now and then someone fills out the form with a bunch of "demands" and fails to provide a correct email address. It's not really that hard, so when I write a long reply and it bounces, I usually think "What a dick!" and forget about it. I recently received a question wi...

I was very pleased today to get confirmation that my team are all going to Clojure/West in San Jose in March! We've been a CFML house for a decade but we're using Clojure more and more on the back end to provide a high-performance, concurrency-safe foundation for our application. Back in December a couple of us attended Clojure/conj, with three days of Clojure training for one of our team. Now we're training up another team member on Clojure, and in March three of us will attend the Clojure conf...

I have been watching the Jelastic Cloud for almost a month and finally I gave it a try last week. The team behind Jelastic did all the ground works for us to get up and Running with Railo in their environment. I have configured Railo and created a sample job search application railoweb.akbarsait.com and hosted it in their Cloud in just 10 minutes time. [More]...

I've been playing around with Nginx web server over the past few days, its a great light weight web server, ideal for VPS's or smaller Amazon EC2 instances where resources are not as abundant. One thing I like about nginx so far is the configuration, while I haven't had to do anything overly complex with it yet, it does seam to be quite flexible. Here's a quick example of redirecting a www domain to the non www version: server { listen 80; server_name www.example.com; rewrite ^ http://...

The title says it all. The latest issue of Adobe's Inspire Magazine is out. There's lots of good content with the only low point being my own article (grin) on PhoneGap: Combining your web skills with PhoneGap to build mobile apps. Probably nothing new for folks who read my blog entries here. ...

Welcome to my third entry for my (what was at first) simple PhoneGap RSS reader. If you haven't yet, please be sure to read part 1 and part 2 so you have some context about how this application works. In this part, I'm going to tackle two enhancements suggested to me by my readers: First - support rendering the entries if the user is offline. Second - clean up the UX a bit so that when a user views an entry, leaves, and then comes back to another entry, they don't see the old text there for a ...

I usually post these on Friday's, but this one is too good to wait: Adobe (San Jose, CA or San Francisco, CA) is looking for a ColdFusion developer to join the Adobe.com team.

This is a 6-12 month contract position with the possibility of converting to full-time in the future. Send resume to Kavitha Mattikalli. ...

As a blogger, I write quite a few blog posts. I hate RTEs (Rich Text Editors) so I'll typically do most of any desired HTML by hand. Normally this isn't a big deal. My blogware can handle paragraphs and code formatting. I typically just worry about bold and italics. However, because I'm entering HTML manually, there's always a chance I could screw up. I've got a Preview feature on my blog but I rarely use it. For a while now I've wondered if there was some way to possible detect bad HTML via Ja...

Last week, I looked at handling keyboard shortcuts in a modular JavaScript application architecture . In that initial exploration, I distributed the handling of keyboard shortcuts across two different modules: a Controller module and the View module that would ultimately be affected by the command. After I was done with the code, however, I was left ... Read More »...

I'm a bit late to blog on this, almost three months late, but folks may want to check out Ryan Anklam's ColdFusion Koans. What are ColdFusion Koans? (Stealing this from his site...) The ColdFusion Koans project is intended to teach ColdFusion syntax, techniques, structure, and tips and tricks through unit tests. Even if you are a seasoned ColdFusion developer the Koans can be a fun exercise to keep your skills sharpened. The Koans concept is nothing new, in fact, the Ruby Koans project is qu...

I've had a simple CFGRID demo sitting in my local web server for a few months now and never got around to sharing it on the blog. Today I responded to user with another CFGRID question and figured it would be good to share them both in one example. (Plus, the code has been sitting in my test.cfm file all that time and I want to get rid of it. ;) So let's start with the first example - relating one cfgrid to another. I've got two simple cfgrids tied to the cfartgallery database. The first cfgrid...

There are many ways out there to automate the backup process of SQL Databases. I have been using some of them over the time and was found something missing in it on the functionality side. Quite recently I started using the MySQL Backup FTP tool which is really handy and I would say it does the job perfectly on backup of the databases. [More]...

Yesterday, when using Gmail, I started to think about keyboard shortcuts. Specifically, I started to think about how keyboard shortcuts get routed within a modular JavaScript application architecture. If I have a module that can respond to the keyboard - but, that module is not supposed to "know" about the document at large - how does it listen for key-based events? I can think of two ways: 1) Either the application listens for keys and then directly invokes methods on encapsulated modules; o .....
