Last night I scrounged up a website and called it Scriptalizer.com. If you want to test what cf_scriptalizer does to your javascript before you actually use the tag, you can try out the generated script provided by Scriptalizer.com.

In the posting, Sven Efftinge and his colleagues reiterate some good best practices if you're getting started with code generationmodel driven development. Sven also presented a great hands on tutorial on openArchitectureWare at Code Generation 2008 last month in Cambridge. For anyone who is serious about Domain Specific Modeling, along with MetaEdit+, it's one of the core toolkits you should evaluate.

However, now that I'm back in the office (fairly) full time I am considering moving to a larger monitor for more efficient coding. Primarily I'm considering a larger screen, although I'm also open to multiple screens (especially if I could map them to various spaces in Leopard. So, a couple of questions. Firstly, how big is big enouhttp://www.fullasagoog.com/go.cfm?itemid=0D2F3312-991D-B607-214DA4B98837406C Suggestions for Preso at Max 2008 Architecting ColdFusion For Scalability And High Availability- July 9, 2008 I will be presenting again at Max this year in San Franscico on the topic of "Architecting ColdFusion For Scalability And High Availability".

It even prompted Matt Woodward to get off of Gmail. I never bought into the Gmail thing. Yes, I do have Gmail account, but mostly because I signed up for a Google account for analytics and other things like Google Groups. I never use it (it just collects junk). Recently, I stopped using Google for search because I didn't want them to "save" my search history (even though I turned off search history in my account)...http://www.fullasagoog.com/go.cfm?itemid=0DAFF1C6-9CA2-2248-16C033714B29F4E3 |
