| ColdFusion and CSS3 |
| June 20, 2008 at 8:11AM by Rick Smith |
I spent some time doing CSS3 development on Safari a few weeks ago just for fun which got me pretty excited to start using it. And with the release of Firefox 3 this past week, the ants in my pants are restless. I want to start developing using CSS3 in the applications I’m coding now, however it’ll probably be a year or so before browsers that support CSS3 have been widely adopted so I can’t just outright use CSS3 or the website will look terrible for the majority of web users.
I wasn’t keen to the large UDFs or custom tags currently available that detect older browsers. If there's a smaller examples or better way to do this I couldn't find it.

| The BlueDragon Steering Committee: Part II |

Since the Macrobe merge I've been eagerly anticipating an update to Flashpaper, which of course was Macromedia's answer to Acrobat not longer than only a few years ago (seems like ages though).

Presentation Review: CFCs
Rather than just dump a link of my slides, I wanted to post a quick overview on my CFC presentation from last night.
The Why and When
- CFCs are for processing, not output
- Although CFCs are OOP-like, they are not true OOP nor do they make ColdFusion an OOP language... use the term "structured programming" instead which better relates to the structured organization and layout of a CFC.
A Visual Concept
- Notice how CFCs take away all the HUGE space from handling the posts and ifs (meaning.... |
