There are so many ways to getting a Primary Key from a table right after an INSERT, which should you use? Trick question. You get it when you do the INSERT, not after.

Note: I should have pointed out that all this is built into ColdFusion. There is no downloading, installing, or configuring. Introduction Any input that your website accepts has to treated as if it were hostile and / or malformed. The Open Web Applications Security Project (OWASP) has a collection of recommendations and Java utilities to help protect against these threats. ColdFusion, being powered by Java, also has these functions. Use them! https://github.com/jmohler1970/Owasp https://github.com/ESAPI/esapi-java https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/coldfusion-functions/functions-c-d/Canonicalize.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-to-right_mark https://github.com/jmohler1970/FormUtils
Hurray. Last video in this series! After working with Buefy and Bulma and experiencing some of what they have to offer, I decided to make a bit of a U-turn. I was drawn to Bulma because of its CSS only approach, but Javascript got added right back in via VueJS and Buefy. I don’t see the CSS only approach as being particularly powerful. So back to Bootstrap I go Resources https://bootstrap-vue.js.org/ https://www.bootswatch.com

I am going to argue against data normalization and I am going to be using traffic tracking as an example. I am going to introduce some better approaches to get the job done. I was thinking of all kinds of titles for this video Don’t normalize that data Intro to DB Compression Normalization is not the answer Stop wasting your time with normalization Traffic tracking for the rest of us How I learned to stop worrying and learn to love data compression […]
Everyone knows that you should be using CFQUERYPARAM. It offers many benefits in the areas of security, data validation, and enhanced performance for your applications. In fact, Adobe recommends that you use the CFQUERYPARAM tag within every CFQUERY, and I completely agree with this recommendation. I think you would be very hard pressed to find a valid reason NOT to use it. Many of us know the benefit of CFQUERYPARAM from the application side, though we may not always be aware […]
I know very little about XML other than it’s a pain in the !@#$% to parse, search, and use. I’m much more familiar with JSON and using ColdFusion structures and arrays. That being said, I’m working on a project that requires that I pull a data feed of a big, ugly XML document that’s complex and cumbersome to utilize. The XML is coming from TransUnion (one of the “big three” credit companies in the United States) and it’s a representation […]
Is there anyway to create a front-end CF server that can pass the traffic through our Firewalls to the back-end CF server 2016. We need to be FISMA and HIPAA compliant and I am looking for advice from anyone who has done this. I am the Systems Engineer, not the programmer. Thanks, Kat
Welcome back to the CF India Summit series! This was our last major CF conference for the year, but that doesn’t make it any less relevant.

Lots of great info that was presented here. But with all these new updates from Lucee (Check out this MAJOR LUCEE […]
