cf.Objective() - passing the torch last year

I've been closely involved with cf.Objective() since it started back in 2006. Yes, it's been going for five years now! When Jared started complaining to me, in 2005, about the lack of ColdFusion conferences in the middle of the country, I said "Don't complain, do something about it!". That …

Just For Kicks - Scala and Clojure last year

Jack Widman posted a Scala snippet on Twitter today to calculate the sum of squares up to a given number: def sumSquares(n:Int) = (0 /: List.range(1,n+1).map((i:Int)=>i*i)) (_ + _) (I renamed the parameter of the anonymous function argument to map just to make it clear it's different to the …

Adobe MAX 2010 last year

Object-Oriented Programming in ColdFusion last year

A lot of people have been asking for this: a book on Object-Oriented Programming in ColdFusion ! Matt Gifford is the author ( @coldfumonkeh ) and Packt is the publisher - following on from their Developer Tutorial books for ColdFusion 8 and ColdFusion 9. Great to see Packt supporting ColdFusion …

cfmljure mailing list last year

I mentioned it in passing in one of my early posts about using Clojure from CFML but, since only one person signed up, thought it was worth mentioning again: there is a mailing list for cfmljure where you can ask questions about the project and Clojure itself or, if you're new to CFML and coming …

cfmljure updated again last year

I've updated cfmljure to version 0.3 and made a small API change to clean things up and better support access to Clojure variables from CFML - see the last section of the README on the github site. The API change will break code that tries to use the old public data member .defn . Sorry (but …

cfmljure updated last year

cfmljure has had a number of updates over the weekend and today to get to a fairly nice, stable API (in my opinion) so I've declared a 0.2 version number and documented as completely as I can for now. The next step is to create a full application example with the model entirely in Clojure that …
