The best explanations I've read for when to use semicolons.
-
Capture emails in Ubuntu development box.

That's nowt like getting your hands on a new feature and being able to use it straight away :)

A JavaScript function/object to easily work with ColdFusion's native query JSON format.
-
Why doesn't ul li:last select all final li elements on the page?
-
Creating one of these has been on my todo list for a long time.
-
I can't be the only one that forgets to change the enctype when writing a form with a file upload.

In ColdFusion we have a bunch of list functions, but what about SQL?

A handy page from PHP Riot that will explain how to create a static Google map.

I wanted to do some quick queries with references to both a dev and staging server. To allow this I add the staging server as a linked server. Here's how.

cfdbinfo in ColdFusion 8 wraps up a bunch of functionality you previously had to write yourself. Why then was it not returning any results for me?

I can't be the only one...

Issues with ColdFusion's cfexecute mean having to suppress output and errors from an executatable call. Here's how...

If you've done any reading on DAOs, gateways and data access with ColdFusion you'll no doubt have come across the fact that there are more than a few ways to do it. Here's how I'm doing it.
