Matthew Woodward
Matt Woodward is Principal Information Technology Specialist with the Office of the Sergeant at Arms at the United States Senate. He was until recently a Web application developer for i2 Technologies in Dallas, Texas. A Macromedia Certified ColdFusion Developer and a member of Team Macromedia, he has been using ColdFusion since 1996. In addition to his ColdFusion work, Matt also develops in Java and PHP.

Web developers have done their best to meet these increasing demands through a rather clumsy mix of HTML and other technologies such as JavaScript, DHTML, and Flash. They have met with varying degrees of success. Because of the nature of these technologies and their inherent limitation...
It's all Simon's fault. We say this to all framework writers who, even now, are trying to recover from the task assigned them by CFDJ's editor-in-chief: provide an article and an implementation of the Macromedia Pet Market application in their chosen framework.
ColdFusion recently took a bit of a jump up to #19 on TIOBE Software's index of most popular programming languages (www.tiobe.com/index.htm?tiobe_index). I hadn't looked at this index in a while but it's interesting to see what CF is both above and below, and it's also nice to see the ...
On New Year's Eve, 2004 I declared 2005 to be the 'year of object-oriented programming for ColdFusion developers,' and since the year is approaching its final quarter it's a good time to focus our attention on OOP in ColdFusion and see how we're doing.
One of the most powerful new features available in ColdFusion MX 7 Enterprise that many ColdFusion developers might not yet be using is event gateways. Event gateways open up entirely new possibilities for ColdFusion and allow our ColdFusion applications to communicate with more or les...
Over the past couple of months I've been introducing you to some of the fantastic possibilities Macromedia Flex offers for building Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) with ColdFusion ('Flex Your ColdFusion Muscles,' CFDJ Vol. 6, issue 12 and 'Data Presentation with Macromedia Flex,' CF...
Last month I introduced you to the wonderful world of building Rich Internet Applications with Macromedia Flex ('Flex Your ColdFusion Muscles,' CFDJ, Vol. 6, issue 12) and discussed some of the distinct advantages RIAs have over traditional HTML applications.
.NET languages such as C# and VB .NET are OO, and CFML as of MX is kind of OO, so why do CF programmers need to Java? First, argues Matt Woodward, Java is one of the purest implementations of OO that exists, and to truly make this shift from procedural to OO programming, a deep underst...
ColdFusion MX offers a simple and easy way to unleash the power of XSLT for manipulating your XML data. Here's how. From Web services to news and blog data feeds to configuration files, XML is everywhere these days.
