(Note: I'm cleaning up some old drafts which have been sitting around for awhile.)
A couple of years ago while setting-up a new J2EE server cluster using the Implementing Multitier Hardware Load Balancing with ColdFusion MX for J2EE or JRun article, I needed to setup a proxy filter for ColdFusion requests. Given that the application [...]

As both a fan and user of the great technologies Python, and the Sun JVM (primarily via Java), I was very happy to come across this eWeek article which says that Sun announced the hiring of two key Python engineers. You can read more about the hiring of Ted Leung and Frank [...]

While doing my normal nightly browsing, I saw an "Open Source ColdFusion Server" digg which mentioned that the Smith Project, a free and lightweight CFML implementation, is going to be Open Sourced. This is great news for the community, and I'm definitely anticipating it's release as an open source project.
Before I came [...]

Just a quick heads-up-- my latest article in the ColdFusion Developers Journal is Why Interfaces in ColdFusion Are Irrelevant which was in the December issue. This article builds on an earlier post I made, and goes a different direction than those professing that CF shouldn't have interfaces because it shouldn't turn into Java-light.

I must say I work with a really amazing team at work, and there is rarely a day we don't get into complex technical discussions about anything from "what algorithm is the best to do x" to getting into deep geeky details about how certain platforms work such as the Hotspot compiler in Java. [...]

I was curious to see if I could still find the old listings of ColdFusion Certified Developers from the original 4.5-5.0 test period. After looking around the dark, dust covered areas of the Adobe site and thumbing through some URL's one ID at a time, I finally found the page where they are grouped [...]

A post from Sean on Static vs. Dynamic languages reminded me that I needed to get around to finishing up a piece I started long ago about why I think Interfaces in ColdFusion are completely irrelevant. In particular, this quote is what reminded me about it:

I've built large systems in dynamic lanaguages. I've built [...]

I've been trying to find a project to work on to contribute to the community for quite some time, and finally came across something missing that would be very valuable to anyone running a ColdFusion based blog. My blog has been using WordPress for at least a couple of years, and I've never really [...]

Seems like this question comes-up quite a bit, and I can never seem to find the snippet of code which will do this in CF 5, so I thought I'd leave myself a post of this snippet of code, and perhaps someone else out there in the future trying to find information on how to [...]
