ColdFusion Tutorial published in this months (issue 141) edition of Web Designer Mag
This month saw the first in a series of articles by myself, published by Web Designer Mag on ColdFusion for Novices.
Issue 141 sees me showing easily and quickly, just how we can pull data from a database and display it in an Ajax grid. I think it takes around 28 lines of code. Real basic code.
Next month (issue 142) will see a more in depth look at programming using CFML - this should be on the way to the printers - and issue (143), well, I can't tell you what's going to be in that just yet.
In addition to the tutorial, I'm quoted on what we here at Fuzzy Orange think is "Hot for 2008". Scotch on the Rocks is top of our list, and it's very encouraging to see Web Designer agree with us, as it's number 51 in their list.
hehe
were you surprised that you'd written them? and what if you didn't remind yourself that you'd penned them, would you have found out by reading your blog? was time travel involved and you've actually yet to write them, waiting until they were published first so you knew what you wrote?
(sorry, I couldn't resist - the first line showing up in MXNA just seemed so funny...)
all jokes aside, mate, good on you for writing these. This is *exactly* the sort of exposure that ColdFusion needs. Spread the word outside of the "usual suspects" and break into new areas. Show that CF can be a practical server-side platform for all levels.
well done and thankyou for doing so.
