Stop writing CFML!  Script-based all the way!

Hey, what's the datasource login / password?

Dude, you forgot to var scope there...

Sh*t, where's the ColdFusion binding for this technology?  Wait... there's one for Java, YES!

Extra whitespaces?  who cares, aren't they gzipped anyway?

The UDF was written for CF5 WTF!?  I can rewrite it in CF10 style...

I just filed a bug report, vote it up y'all!

What do you mean 0.5 + 0.3 + 0.2 NEQ 1?

Shit, this Ben Nadal guy has tried everything

Did you setup the cfscheduler?

Gosh, I'm glad I didn't learn Flex.

Do you want ColdFusion to support HMAC hashing natively?



What is HMAC? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAC

Where is HMAC needed? Amazon Web Services, Credit Card Gateways, Twitter, etc...

Which CFer has used HMAC successfully with ColdFusion?
What can we use today?

Terrence Ryan taught me why <cfhtmlfoot> is not needed

I guess most of you have heard of or used <cfhtmlhead> for injecting things in between <head></head> in html, right?

Today I came across a blog post which talks about frontend performance tips, and one of them is to include script tags in the bottom of the page to avoid blocking (for more tips, see http://code.google.com/speed/articles/ ).  I know this tip for a while now, but I found myself hard to implement it with most MVC frameworks I used (i.e. MG2, ColdBox, FW/1).  For a second I really wish there's a <cfhtmlfoot> tag.  So I asked on the tweeter, and @tpryan replied:

@henrylearn2rock I use the request scope for this. Inject code into request.footer, then in the closing of my view, check for and publish.
Nice!  I guess we don't need <cfhtmlfoot> after all.  Thanks Terrence.

edit: gosh blogger, html encode post title and body ALREADY! And why are URL's not turned into hyperlinks automatically? You suck! It's 2010!!!

update: wow! look at this reply from @mach_ii!

@henrylearn2rock M2 supports this on OpenBD. cfhtmlbody: http://is.gd/esh24 & htmlbody(): http://is.gd/esh0Z Railo tix: http://is.gd/esh7x

update: oh, my man tpryan also blogged about this: Injecting JavaScript to the foot of a ColdFusion Page
