Description: With Dallas Tech Fest 2009 over I can now share the demo files I was working on for my presentation. Below you'll find links to both the demo application and my slides (PDF). The jQuery Gallery demo displays a method for delivering Base64 Image data from a remote CF method call to JavaScript. The application is packaged up and downloadable from the main demo page.

Applying Design Patterns to ColdFusion - Intoduction posted on: 5/20/09
Description: I recently had the Head First Design Patterns book handed to me. This is a fascinating book, however, I imagine that a number of ColdFusion developers would take one look, see all the Java and move on to the next book, or worse, abandon the concept of design patterns in CF. I think if I had picked up this book a year ago I would have been in the latter camp and stuck with what I know and enjoyed my comfortable rut. My goal, over the course of reading this book, is to share with community the patterns I learn and how to apply them in CF with some close to real world examples.
If you are interested in how to use design patterns with CF and would like to follow along with my journey I encourage you to buy, borrow or steal (ok, dont steal it) a copy of the book. Ill do my best to relate my posts to the chapters they are inspired by. I hadnt planned on covering chapter 1, but if anyone feels that it should be looked at please let me know and Ill take a look at it again. Ill be starting my series with chapter 2, The Observer Pattern, later today.

Create Dynamic CFWindow Instances With JavaScript and the CFAJAX API posted on: 6/11/08
Description: My first attempt at creating multiple instances of cfwindow on a page was less than desirable. I thought that nesting a cfwindow tag in a cfloop tag with the name attribute set to createUID would be the best way to create a unique instance of the cfwindow, which I could then open with a link or a button. The result was a bloated, slow moving page that was absolutely unusable.
