This week I have been mainly reading up on ColdFusion [frameworks, architecture, how-to's and what not's all to do with MX]… And a little CSS.
- Sean Corfield, is the Director of Architecture at Macromedia and a one of the people behind Mach-ii, this is his blog and it some has some pretty useful insights into the CF developer world.
- Basically a Macromedia document explaining the development of applications using the Mach-II framework
- FuseBox for MX, this is the official home
- The unofficial home of Mach-II at Sean Corfield’s site
- A nifty little guide to configuring native MySQL JDBC drivers in CFMX [and more JDBC info]. His site also has a wealth of additional information on CFMX, great stuff…
- ColdFusion MX 6.1 Step-by-Step Creating and Configuring Multiple Instances - as the title indicates how to install/configure CFMX to run multiple instances of a server on JRun, though this article appears to be only focused on using the built-in web server he does talk about using IIS when adding new sites.
- Purcell also pointed to this source for debugging cfmx apps. Check it out and his set up info
- Integrating Xerces with CFMX/Jrun.
- Tag insight updates for Dreamweaver users after the 6.1 upgrade to CFMX
- For those lucky enough to have the joy of working with Spectra, well Macromedia released the source a while back…
- I am definitely on the CF trail… Here is a little article on how to create your own cftags to be used from within cfquery. Swell.
- Subscribe to a CFC mailing list covering topics on OO Methodologies and Design Patterns for CF
- Sean is rapidly becoming my favourite source of information for all things CF/Flash. Here he discusses design patterns in relation to Flash remoting.
- Mezzoblue provides a handy list of things to consider when developing CSS and it also contains the order for borders, think TRouBLed (Top, Right, Bottom, Left).
- An interesting discussion about collapsing margins in CSS
- A lot of info on CSS and it’s bugs, some neat demos and a great article on Floats. Eric Meyer also gives us more insight into the float problem.
- Something I was going to write about, but someone beat me to it. All you need to know about building an accessible form…
- This two part article was interesting for a number of reasons. The main one being a showcase on how standards implemented sites could benefit companies in terns of savings. That’s only one of the reasons I am jotting this one down, the other he has links to some mobile device emulators… Always come in handy these!
- ALA is carrying a second article this week, another look at how to implement round corners.
