I decided a year ago to start the cf_BlogPicks. I hoped to keep it up every week for at least a year. I hoped that I could get 50 entries done in that time (that is, miss no more than two weeks). With this entry, I have done that. [More]

This week saw lower blogging volume due to Christmas and other holidays, but still had a good selection of blog entries. [More]

Happy holidays! Another great week of blog entries as the holidays draw near. Hanukkah started yesterday and goes through next Monday, Christmas is this Thursday, and Al-Hijira is next Monday. Happy holidays to all! [More]

This week saw a great selection of blog entries (even more difficult to choose among than usual) including topics such as CFHTTP, PCI (essential in ecommerce), and free hosting. [More]

This week held a mix of exciting news (Open BD 1.0) and sad news (Adobe layoffs hit ColdFusion product manager, Jason Delmore). Also an odd CF behavior, the CFUnited survey, and free subversion repositories. [More]

I thought I would have a limited selection of entries to choose from with most American developers of Thursday (Thanksgiving) Friday of this week. [More]

The big event this week was easily Adobe Max (and the announcement of ColdFusion IDE - Bolt). Even with Max, however, this week still has a great selection of ColdFusion-related blog entries. [More]

This week had some big news. Firstly, ColdFusion community staple, Steve "Cutter" Blades, just announced the publication of "Learning Ext JS". Congrats, Steve! In other news, CFUnited registration is open and CF Doc's UKCFUG podcast had their first episode. All this and a great selection of blog entries (including the discover of a new operator in ColdFusion). [More]

This was a great week for blog entries. In addition to some great posts on topics like wireframing and form usability, we also saw some debates on OO and ORMs. [More]

Peter Bell is back! This is good news overall, but did result in some hard decisions as he posted a large selection of great entries. In addition to a great selection of blog entries (including, painfully, just one by Peter), I also have a bonus section of the OO discussion resulting largely from Ben Nadel's recent trip to take Hal Helms class on OO.

The week covers some of the limitations of ColdFusion (and IE) as well as a great entry on balancing the "purity" of OO and a great example of refactoring ColdFusion code. I also link to Ben Nadel's great entries on his class with Hal Helms. [More]

This week has great information to get around some of the "oddities" of ColdFusion (even the best language can have eccentricities) as well as great discussions on billing and merges. [More]

September ends with a great and varied selection of blog entries, from object instantiation performance graphs to some great how-tos. [More]

Sorry this is a day late (out sick yesterday). Out of a great selection of entries, my bias for discussion of HTML (still the lingua franca of the web) seems to have impacted my choices a bit this week. [More]

I don't know what got in the water this week, but the selection of blog entries was amazing. It was really hard to pick just five. The easiest pick, however, was Charlie Arehart's entry on CF411. Although this is really a renaming of existing resources, it is still a tremendously valuable resource for any ColdFusion programmer. [More]
