Updating Datasource with ColdFusion Bean
Posted by Stephen Weyrick | Tags: coldfusion , flex
John Gagliardi(cftips.net) and I have been working on a new flex application that will be used as a project tracker for work related purposes. John is building the Flex or UI side of the application, while I am building the database and ColdFusion backend. We are trying to build the entire application using OOP design priciples; specifically MVC. After building the database and basically getting a great start on the project, I am starting to realize how powerful OOP can actually be. Today we created a task updater that is controlled by horizontal date slider, and I wanted to share some of my backend code which will hopefully show just how easy it is to update a simple CRUD app.
Organizational Development

This morning I was browsing through blog posts on Hal Helms website, and I came across his Organizational Development Maturatity Chart and Definitions. It was really interesting to compare my place of work with the definitions listed below the chart. I think that my shop is at the dangerous two position. We have employed and recognize the benefits of OO design, but we find it difficult to learn more without an expert mentor. We continually debate about whether our designs are consistant with current OO best practices or not. I wrote this post to ask the ColdFusion community for references to books, articles, or topics related to OO design. What would be the best approach to understanding OO in ColdFusion and what kind of resources would be best to use?
Looping Over Dynamic Value Form Fields
Posted by Stephen Weyrick | Tags: coldfusion
After posting on cftips.net for six months, I decided to create my own blog so that I could post my own entries and create my own plugins for mango blog. In my first blog post, I am going to talk about looping over dynamic values in a form field. I have never done this before, and I thought that it would be something fun to learn in my free time when I'm not under the gun at work.
