This weekend, I thought of revisiting the Coldfusiondocs.com application which I didn’t get the time to even touch for last so many months. I thought using Cairngorm to re-write the app would be ideal as it’s the most widely used Flex framework around. So, I went ahead and re-wrote the whole thing using Cairngorm (took […]
I have been using ColdBox for a few months now and I absolutely love it. Althought I havent used all the features it has to offer, I like the URL rewriting feature a lot. In one of my projects, my routes.cfm had quite a few routes added that looked like this. [xml] addRoute(pattern="contactus", handler ="ehPages", […]

I have just released an update to coldfusiondocs.com . As the title says, I have added Railo support to the documentation, so now you get a new tab for Railo tags and functions and just like before, you can search and view the documentation. I think it makes sense to add this as part of […]
Last night, I got a chance to attend the Thames Valley User Group about Design Patterns, by Sean Corfield. It was an excellent presentation and I am very glad I decided to make the time to attend it. Also, since, this was my first time listening to Sean in person, I was excited to attend […]
In response to reader’s comments from my previous post, I have updated the code for this little thingy. Here are the updates in this version. 1) Added the ability to change pagesize dynamically (I did a separate post on this one earlier) 2) Made the grid rows double clickable.
