After a successful CFinNC, the folks at Triangle Area ColdFusion's User Group (TACFUG) are organizing NCDevCon 2010. The conference will be held May 22-23, 2010 at my favorite school - Centennial Campus of NC State University in Raleigh.

The conference will cover a wide variety of web development and design topics including ColdFusion, Flex and AIR, ᅠJavascript and CSS.ᅠ

Just like CFinNC the registration for this event will be freeᅠand includes entry to the weekend event and to all presentations. Since attendance is limited, please register early so that you do not miss out on this fantastic conference.

Register @ᅠᅠhttp://ncdevcon2010.eventbrite.com/

Thanks and hope to see you at NCDevCon!

ColdFusion Hibernate performance optimization

2010 February 17

We are still using ColdFusion 8 at work so I have not had a chance toᅠpracticallyᅠuse any of ColdFusion's ORM feature aside from writing simple applications. I just wanted to use this post as a personal resource. Anders Sveen has written a short and useful blog post outlining certain things you should consider when looking at performance and optimization of hibernate driven applications.

Happy New Year

2010 January 01

Happy new year to all readers of this blog. With new year, I decided to move this blog to Mango Blogᅠfrom BlogCFC. BlogCFC has served me well over the yearsᅠandᅠturst meᅠthere is nothing wrong with the application.ᅠKuddos toᅠRay Camden for his valuable contributions to CF community. ᅠ

I just needed a little change. I downloaded Laura's Mangoblog last night and was up and running in few minutes.ᅠThe setup was quick and painless. ᅠBlogCFC migration alsoᅠran well althoughᅠI hit a snag whenᅠcategories were not imported. I didn't try to investigate the root cause and created categories manually. Mongo blog is definitely outstanding especially I am amazed that how easy it is to change themes/skins. Terrific work Laura Arguello.
