It's quick and won't cost you a dime. I'm sure you've been in one of these situations when you have unexpected guests arriving in 20 minutes and need to make a good impression. Let's create an application that will auto-generate a Flex-Tomcat-BlazeDS-DB2 application. http://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/518647.htmhttp://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/518647.htm Thu, 03 Apr 2008 05:00:00 GMT 'Unlocking content to be remixed into new business value' is the driver of Web 2.0 in the enterprise, says Rod Smith, IBM VP of Emerging Internet Technologies, in this Exclusive Q&A with Jeremy Geelan on the occasion of IBM's release of a new technology created by IBM researchers, codenamed 'SMash' - short for Secure Mashup. http://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/456101.htmhttp://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/456101.htm Sat, 23 Feb 2008 02:45:00 GMT I am always being told off by i-technologists for quoting Picasso as having said that computers are useless. But I still love his reasoning: 'Because they can only give you answers.' Picasso, like AJAXWorld Magazine, liked questions. So we thought we would share with you what some of the world's leading rich Internet application pioneers are thinking may be the next questions that we need to see answered. From that, readers can themselves infer: where is AJAX headed next? http://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/503097.htmhttp://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/503097.htm Sun, 03 Feb 2008 08:15:00 GMT Sun is offering ten grants of US $11,500 - equivalent to several months of pay for developers in some countries - for the best NetBeans projects submitted by open source developers. Conceived as a means of increasing general awareness around the NetBeans project as well as rewarding good work done by the NetBeans Community, the 'Dreams of Reality' contest is described in detail by worldwide NetBeans Community Manager Bruno Souza, the charismatic Brazilian developer, in a special audio webcast currently playing on SYS-CON.TV. http://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/448738.htmhttp://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/448738.htm Fri, 30 Nov 2007 13:45:00 GMT Within minutes of my blog entry, I received the strangest email notification, alerting me to another blog written by Alan Zeichick, 'co-founder and editorial director of BZ Media, which publishes SD Times and Software Test & Performance, and which also produces the Software Security Summit, Software Test & Performance Conference, and EclipseWorld. Also president and principal analyst of Camden Associates.' That's what his bio says. http://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/341314.htmhttp://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/341314.htm Sun, 25 Feb 2007 12:30:00 GMT The significance of blogging is not the word 'blog' whether used as a verb or a noun, but its role as a harbinger of the game-changing Web-as-platform revolution. In particular, the migration of blogging from the individual toward the enterprise... http://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/289283.htmhttp://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/289283.htm Tue, 24 Oct 2006 09:00:00 GMT 'MAX 2006 is both a milestone in the integration of Adobe and Macromedia, and a reflection of what's possible when all these creative forces come together,' said Kevin Lynch, Adobe SVP & Chief Software Architect today here in Las Vegas, where Adobe is staging its first MAX developer and customer event since joining forces with Macromedia. http://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/250599.htmhttp://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/250599.htm Fri, 21 Jul 2006 22:00:00 GMT Adobe Flex Builder has many convenient keyboard commands and hints that make your programming faster. But this is a list of Flex Builder shortcuts that I use on a regular basis http://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/154244.htmhttp://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/154244.htm Tue, 11 Apr 2006 10:15:00 GMT AJAX can make the HTML user experience almost as pleasant as Flash. The main advantage of Flash, in spite of its vector animations, is that you never reload the page. Flash Remoting allows you to interface with the server in the background and AJAX does exactly the same for HTML pages. http://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/122166.htmhttp://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/122166.htm Sun, 18 Sep 2005 09:00:00 GMT This document is a primer. It's designed to inform you, the reader, of what can be done and what to consider before attempting integration. It's not riddled with proprietary code that describes exactly how to do integrate between ColdFusionMX and Crystal Enterprise. http://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/48649.htmhttp://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/48649.htm Tue, 15 Mar 2005 00:00:00 GMT Apache Ant is a subproject being developed as part of the Jakarta project. Ant is a Java-based build tool which uses XML build files. Its main competitors are GNU Make, Jam, and NAnt. Many developers prefer Ant because it is environment-neutral, tightly integrated into Java, and faster than Make. XML build files are easier to create, read, and maintain than build files used with the Make utility (or other similar utilities). http://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/48660.htmhttp://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/48660.htm Tue, 15 Mar 2005 00:00:00 GMT In the January issue of CFDJ (Vol. 7, issue 1), Joe Cronin wrote an excellent article about Verity entitled 'Optimize, Extend, and Enhance the Search Functionality in ColdFusion.' In this article, Joe talked about the powerful features of the Verity search service provided in the ColdFusion MX server. http://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/46784.htmhttp://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/46784.htm Wed, 20 Oct 2004 00:00:00 GMT As an organization's vast collection of data continues to grow, it becomes increasingly difficult for users to find the information they need. You need only to look at the success of Google to see the importance of search engine technology. Unfortunately, traditional search engines that rely primarily on keyword matching often return unintended results. http://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/46363.htmhttp://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/46363.htm Wed, 13 Oct 2004 00:00:00 GMT One of the best features of ColdFusion is its versatility. Very few other languages or environments offer the cross-platform, open framework for development that the ColdFusion platform provides. http://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/46434.htmhttp://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/46434.htm Thu, 23 Sep 2004 00:00:00 GMT Sanjay Kumar, the former chairman and CEO of Computer Associates, was charged with conspiracy and obstruction of justice in an indictment unsealed yesterday. Former CA executives, led by Kumar, 'betrayed the trust of the board, Computer Associates shareholders, and 15,000 employees,' an attorney representing Computer Associates, Robert Guiffra, told reporters. http://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/45980.htmhttp://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/45980.htm Fri, 13 Aug 2004 00:00:00 GMT Do you want to extend your searching options beyond the basics? Would automated 'Related Items' functionality have clients beating a path to your door? Here's one way to go about it. http://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/44775.htmhttp://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/44775.htm Tue, 11 May 2004 00:00:00 GMT A Model-View-Controller based Plug-able Declarative Framework (MVC-PDF) will be described, in which developers use the full power of ColdFusion MX (CFMX) components to create MVC applications. The declarative nature of the framework will allow the controller and the model to be specified declaratively in configuration files, versus custom coded in ColdFusion. http://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/43993.htmhttp://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/43993.htm Tue, 09 Mar 2004 00:00:00 GMT Much of the future growth of the Internet will occur in areas where the dominant language is not English. The convergence of this growing area of opportunity with the new features offered by CFMX make CFMX an excellent choice for globalized applications. http://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/43795.htmhttp://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/43795.htm Wed, 25 Feb 2004 00:00:00 GMT Welcome to another installment of Extending ColdFusion. In this edition, we are going to look at one of the ways you can add localization to your Web site. What do we mean by localization? Localization or L10N (L10N is an abbreviation for the 10 letters between the 'L' and 'N' in localization) describes the process of adapting an application to a specific locale.
