Now, I'm no fan of laws, so I privately refer to this as the General Guideline of Demeter, even though it doesn't sound as snappy or cool. However, just because there are valid reasons to break it, doesn't take away from the validity of the intent. Let's look at 2 code examples blatantly ripped off from the CFCDEV mailing list:

So your Eclipse is sluggish, and you've tried the usual suspects: increase the heap and permgen, run -clean, close projects. You've found all the places where Aptana strangles your install.....So I decided to...

In listening to people complain about different languages (MXML, AS3, Java, ColdFusion, C#, etc), most everything someone lists as what they love/hate about the language is a function of the IDE. The IDE, in turn, is usually built around the functionality of the language. I guess what I want to know from you is....

I've done a few presentations on refactoring in ColdFusion and in those presentations, I show a lot of code samples towards the end. No matter how eloquent I am in the first part of the presentation, the light always goes on for the audience when I show code. If you think about it, it makes sense, why try to explain concrete principles in abstract terms?

Having problems with a corrupted Eclipse instance like line number not showing up or some other funky issue and you swear you have done all the correct steps to get it to work. Maybe starting with a fresh version of Eclipse is the best route.

The Eclipse Open Source IDE coupled with the CFML plugin, CFEclipse, has been embraced by the ColdFusion community for years. All of my sites were built with HomeSite and Dreamweaver. I was waiting for a good excuse to start a site from scratch in Eclipse. Three weeks later, I am loving the functionality, power and ease. The Kool-Aid is quite delicious.

I???ve long been an Ant enthusiast and advocate for its use beyond simple Java compilation tasks. A while back, I wrote a post, available in my InstantSpot archive, describing how I employ Ant to build and deploy web applications. It was intended to be the first in a series, but additional posts just never materialized for a number of reasons.....

Confidently unit testing code that relies on a database is troublesome. There are many different approaches and many opinions on the matter. I've previously written about using transactions to safely rollback the database after every test. This worked well for me at the time, but.....

I have been bugging Ryan Stille, Nebraska ColdFusion User Group Manager, about letting other user groups in the Omaha community (mostly Omaha Rails and Dynamic Language User Group) use his free NECFUG Adobe Connect account to record their meetings. Today he asked Adobe and was pointed to an existing FREE Adobe Connect registration for.....

I have been working on a little AJAX application using jQuery and ColdFusion using JSON to communicate with the page through components. One of the first things I needed to do was to maximize scroll position of a DIV element each time it was updated. Digging around I finally found what I was looking for.....

Selenium is an open source, simple web site testing and automation platform. I say it's a "platform" because it can't really be classified as just a tool, a language, API or a full application, but rather to a degree, all of these.......

A lot of development teams use Subversion for source control management. With Distributed Version Control Systems (DCVS) like Git, Mercurial and Bazaar gaining greater popularity, teams need to consider some what does it mean to migrate their existing centralized version control system to a decentralized one. This blog touches upon a few of those considerations.

"If you're still using HTML, JavaScript, complicated server deployments, and other technologies that don't "just work," try downloading the free Adobe Flex 3 SDK, a trial edition of Adobe Flex Builder 3 Professional, and the free developer edition of Adobe ColdFusion 8 to begin building better web applications with fewer headaches."

I've been involved with software development for over 12 years now. Over that period I've been a developer, architect and a project manager in different software projects. So the following list of 10 things relating to software development (and the key issue of software defect reduction) made a lot of sense. 1.....

Back in February I wrote a blog post on SQL Injection that included an example of how a malicious user might inject into a character field even though ColdFusion escapes single quote marks. The attack involved other forms of escaping single quotes - and was effective against MySQL. This week I stumbled upon (more like a train wreck) an attack that is much more sophisticated - and also involves injection into a character field. I am told.....

After upgrading to the new Eclipse 3.4 Platform I am pretty excited about a couple new features. This one is more of a time saver for me and some may not care but I really like it. We have about 10 servers here that I do direct development on (no source control, I know...) and I need a good way to organize all of my projects. What I do is create working sets ....
