How many beginner developers are out there wondering how to do the most basic things we take for granted?

Identify Unlinked Pages – CF Builder

Throughout the series, we have been discussing hot ticket items that will be discussed at this year’s upcoming CF Camp, the only CF conference in Europe. Today, we will be talking about ORM–or Object Relational Mapping. Often dubbed as the “Vietnam of Computer Science” due to its seemingly endless complexities, ORM can be a topic of debate among CF’ers. ORM is not devoid of benefit, however. There […]
