QuackFuzed.com is the personal ColdFusion coding blog of Matt Quackenbush. It exists primarily as a place for the author to learn, and hopefully to assist others in learning and/or avoiding some of the same pitfalls and mistakes. (Quack certainly makes enough mistakes daily to make up for the entire ColdFusion community.)
Ayep, you read the title right. Quite frankly, it totally sucks that I have been forced to come to that realization, but I suppose in the end, it is better that I realized it before it was too late.
The other day Jason Durham posed a question to me:
How can I go about using multi-word actions, using hyphens as separators, in my ColdBox handlers?
After my initial "Why on earth would you want to do that?" response, Jason pointed out the SEO benefits of doing so, which makes perfect sense. (That's when I thought to myself, "Hmmm, why didn't I think of that?")
The question:
Where in the world is the next ColdBox training session going to take place?
The answer:
Like about everything else in ColdFusion, "it depends". That is, it depends upon YOU! That's right folks, YOU can have a say in where the next ColdBox training session takes place. Go right now to the ColdBox blog and voice your opinion.

Transfer allows you the option of having the database handle your IDs for new records (e.g. 'identity' in MSSQL or 'auto_increment' in MySQL), which is the default behavior for Transfer, or you can have Transfer generate your new IDs for you by utilizing the 'generate' attribute on your ID tag in your transfer.xml config file, and setting it to 'true'. I personally prefer having the database handle my IDs for me, so I never really paid much attention to this particular feature of Transfer until recently.
Luis Majano announced that ColdBox hit 2.6 Final Release today. This release boasts a number of new features. Here is a quick overview of some of my personal favorites:

If you're still on the fence about ColdBox, I urge you to download and take a serious look.
Back in the ColdBox 2.5.1 release, a new feature was added: persist. Think of it as a sort of "flash memory", allowing your application to "remember" event variables when moving the user to the next event. I was recently asked about this feature, so I figured I would make a quick post about it in an effort to help more people.
Amcom Technology, a software development house based in the San Francisco Bay Area just announced their move to ColdBox. As an avid ColdBox supporter and user myself, I am happy to hear of more people coming on board.
