First, let me apologize for the recent lack of posts. I've been working on a number of projects at work and I just haven't been able to find the time for blogging. I just uploaded some tweaks to the site's layout. Please let me know if anything's out of whack.
If you're going to MAX this year, make sure to check out the Bird of a Feather (BoF) meetings Monday night (11/17). These are informal, 50 minute meetings where we can discuss various issues and get to know each other while eating pizza and having a few beers.
I've been working on a new feature for my company's main application. Basically I need to associate some data with a list of students. The list of students is generated from existing class rosters. Since students can be in more than one class, it's possible the same student gets selected twice. So how can I quickly remove any duplicates and store only the unique list of students?
I got an e-mail from Josh Berling at RoundArch in Chicago. He's looking for Flex and/or J2EE developers wanting full time or contract work. I met him at last year's MAX and seems like a great guy to work with. He's definitely a Flex guru and the work I saw was really cutting edge.
This morning, John Campos from the Dallas Flex User Group announced that "Miller & Associates is throwing TexFlex, a Dallas Flex Camp in conjunction with Adobe." It's only $25 to attend and there's only 300 spots, so sign up ASAP.
More often than not, you're placing ColdFusion (or any server-side language) code within HTML to set pre-existing values of a form. You can cut down on tons of excess server-side code by setting those values using Javascript. Here are a few examples of how you can use jQuery with ColdFusion to set form values.
A few weeks ago, Peter J Farrell from the Mach-II team asked if I would contribute the Mach-II Primer to the project's main Wiki. It took me about 30 seconds to agree.
Justin Treher asks: "Yo, Adrian. I see that you are using autonumber for your tables. Whenever you run the CREATE method in the DAO you are just returning true. How does the application get the ID?"
Aaron Lynch, one of the brains behind InstantSpot.com has just launched a new ColdFusion tag, as well as a website that allows you to compress multiple Javascript files into a single, minified file.
I've been working with JQuery quite a bit lately and I'm aggravated that I didn't pick it up sooner. Someone on the DFW CFUG mailing list asked for a quick example of why they should use it. Another post on the JQuery list asked how to create a "Check All" box using JQuery. I decided to expand on the "check all" example I posted to the CFUG list to show how things have progressed from old school Javascript to JQuery.
