Sorry for the delay in getting this out today - waiting on MXNA. An entry by Andrew Powell kicked off such a good series of blogs, that I have decided to highlight the entire collection as a bonus set for this week.
Page Controllers: One Year Later
Just over a year ago, I started using Page Controllers. I blogged about the experience in the first weeks, but since then have let the topic slide. After a year of using them, it seems like a good time to report on my opinion with the benefit of experience.

Although some discussions are still going about the open sourcing of Blue Dragon this week, the focus is shifting more to what we want to have in ColdFusion 9.
Trouble with Triggers
I was trying to create a trigger in Oracle last night with cfquery and it wouldn't work. Oracle kept reporting that the trigger was invalid. If I copied the same exact SQL into Oracle directly, it would work. When I would look at the invalid trigger in Oracle and copy the SQL from there into Oracle, it would fix the trigger, but still I couldn't get it to work from there.
CodeCop 1.0.1
It has been nearly a year since I released CodeCop 1.0 and I have to admit that I haven't worked on it much since. This new release is primarily to integrate better into the ColdFusion 8 administrator. When installed in the ColdFusion 8 administrator, it will match the styling of that administrator.

The big news this week is New Atlanta's announcement to release an open source version of BlueDragon. We also had plenty of good entries about Application.cfc.
Query of Queries Select NULL Error
I love Query of Queries. It frequently saves me a lot of time and trouble. Yesterday, however, I ran into a bug in the feature that caused a bit of heartache.
Copy a Directory Using CFZIP
I needed to copy a directory and all of files within it today. My first thought was that I should be able to do this in cfdirectory, but no luck there. I then hoped I could cheat and use cffile to copy a directory as though it were a file, but no luck there either. I knew that I could write some recursive code to copy the cirectory and all of its contents, but I felt there should be an easier way.

The big news this week is ColdFusion 8 winning a Jolt award and IE8 rendering rules.

No doubt about it, the release of Flex 3 and especially of Adobe AIR 1.0 dominated the news this week. As such, I have a bonus 5 posts about AIR in addition to my five normal picks (with no AIR).
