A company I know is looking for a senior designer in Sydney Australia. If you're looking for that type of work or know someone that is read more.
ColdFusion Database Pool Master/Slave(s)
Last week when I looked at databases pools I got a few suggestions re master/slaves databases. In this configuration you set up a single database (called the master) and have it replicate to one or more other databases (called the slaves).
Flash and ColdFusion Jobs in Sydney Australia
Two companies I've worked for are looking for people. One is looking for several web designers (all levels) with flash skills the other a junior ColdFusion developer. If you looking for work in Sydney (Australia) or know someone who is read more.
ColdFusion Database Pools and Resource Counting
With a discussion with Sammy he suggested that my ColdFusion database pool DSN component could be extended to select the current datasource with the least no of connections rather than just randomly picking one.
Here's the modified code.
ColdFusion Internationalisation
Using ColdFusion it's fairly straight forward to make web pages appear in more than one language.
First off you need to detect what language you want the page to be in, next you load the strings you want to display from a resource file and lastly display the page in the required language.
ColdFusion RAID databases (or database pools)
You've tuned your databases queries, added all of the indexes you can think of and cached all of the queries you can but your database still isn't giving you the performance you need.
So it's time to split up your database into several databases and move each of these new databases off onto separate database servers. Or perhaps a RAID database is the solution to your performance issues.
ColdFusion Security - Detecting Modified Pages
No matter how secure your server is there exists the potential for someone to upload their own pages or modify existing pages on the server via an exploit of some sort. How can you detect this or stop this from happening?
A little ColdFusion code can help detect modified or unknown pages and stop these pages from running.
Flash Date Errors
Flash has a lot of functions for creating and setting dates but you have to be careful using them. In fact it may be safer not to use them at all.
Consider this action script:
1var birthdate:Date = new Date();
2birthdate.setDay(17);
3birthdate.setMonth(7);
4birthdate.setDay(1969);
Will this always set the date to be 17th July 1969?
2birthdate.setDay(17);
3birthdate.setMonth(7);
4birthdate.setDay(1969);
Flash Instance Names - spot the error
Say we have a simple flash file with an instance of a symbol on the stage (like a rectangle). The rectangle has an instance name and we want to change or display it's properties via action script.
Here's a screen shot of the stage and the instance properties.
ColdFusion CGI variables and Spiders
What's wrong with this bit of code?
1<cfset languages = CGI.HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE>
Well nothing as long as the page is viewed with a browser. However a cgi variable in your code may not exist if a spider rather than a browser looks at your site. This includes spiders like google. Your site may not be indexed by search engines if you don't handle CGI variables correctly.
