I wanted a pre-conference workshop to bring more developers into the CF fold… Adobe one-upped me with something even better.
Contents RAD Speed of Development and Agility Security User Interface Java is one of the biggest programming languages out there. Although it’s not as prolific as before, many programmers still use Java. It is widely considered to be one of those must-learn languages. But why Java? Why not ColdFusion? Let’s take a look at some of the key features that help ColdFusion stand out from Java. ColdFusion Java RAD When it comes to Rapid Application Development, there is no other […]
Adobe CF Summit East 2019 was awesome! Here’s how it all went…
My local server’s timezone is set to UTC-8 – https://www.screencast.com/t/1qqid95lR3v I need to create epoch time for UTC so I’m trying to use the following function: #DateDiff(“s”, “January 1 1970 00:00:00”, dateconvert(“local2utc”, now()))# The dateconvert function does not compute the correct time using any combination. Here is example code: <cfset utcTime = dateconvert(“local2utc”, now())> <cfoutput> now: #now()# <br>local2utc: #utcTime# <br>epoch (now){currentTime:#DateDiff(“s”, “January 1 1970 00:00:00”, now())#} <br/>epoch (local2utc){currentTime:#DateDiff(“s”, “January 1 1970 00:00:00”, dateconvert(“local2utc”, now()))#} <br>epoch (utcTimeVar){currentTime:#DateDiff(“s”, “January 1 1970 00:00:00”, utcTime)#} […]
I added a bunch of files to a project via the file system, and the project in the navigator refuses to update. Refresh does not work, neither does F5. What do I have to do to get a project to refresh besides recreate it every time there is a change from outside the system. I HAVE to work from 2 different machines and the files are on a network share.
This is a reminder to those still running on CF11 (from 2014) that it’s time to move off of it, to CF2016 or CF2018, as support for CF11 (public updates) end this month.
I have this code in my application.cfc <cfset THIS.serialization.preserveCaseForStructKey = “true” /> <cfset THIS.serialization.preserveCaseForQueryColumn= “true” /> <cfset THIS.serialization.serializequeryas = ‘struct’ /> sometimes like 1 out of 10 times my structures return in upper case and if I don’t use the SerializeJSON(ResultQuery,‘struct’) I also get it in the weird way that cold fusion uses (column and data), which makes me think that it is not loading the application.cfc but it is not consistent. This usually happens when the query or structure […]
Array negative indexes in CF 2018 appear to be read only.
In this part 5 of my series on CF2018 hidden gems, we focus on language changes, across a large range of categories.
This error used to be solved by unchecking a box in CFAdministrator labeled Enable HTTP Status Codes. This setting is well hidden in 2018. Where do I find it? Why isn’t it on the debugging info page next to “Enable Robust Exception Information”?
Did you know that CF2018 has an updated installer, released in Feb 2019, which ships with Java 11 and CF2018 update 2? Read on for this and still more.
