ColdFusion and DotNet C#

My son emailed me the other day to tell me that Ben Forta blogged about this website CFDot.net and to go check it out. 

 I checked it out and for those ColdFusion programmers who are learning DotNet C# this is a great place to help you get over some issues when you are first learning.  This will not mean you are an expert DotNet C# programmer but it will help you get started learning DotNet C#.  I like the concept and the fact that he takes the time to help his fellow programmer.

ColdFusion Scheduled Task Issue

Where I currently work we are using ColdFusion 7.  We had an issue where a Scheduled Task was not running when we thought it should be.  We scheduled it to run every 4 hours starting at 2:00 pm.  After reviewing the Log Files we found that at 2:00 am it was rescheduling the next run at 2:00 pm.

Scheduled Task

Before 

2:00 pm

6:00 pm

10:00pm

2:00 am 

6:00 am - Skipped

10:00 am - Skipped

So we realised it was was skipping the two most important times of the day.  After thinking about it we came to the solution that if we moved the starting time to 2:00 am we got the results we expected.

Scheduled Task After

6:00 am

10:00 am

2:00 pm

6:00 pm

10:00pm

 What was going on was when it checked to reschedule the task at 10:00 pm it saw the day was not done so it rescheduled the task to run 4 hours later.  When it ran at 2:00 am and started to reschedule it noticed that this was a new day and set the new scheduled task for 2:00 pm the same day.  This caused the skipping of two runs each day.  So by moving it to the first run of the day we got the tasks to run when we wanted them too.

CFZen - Framework

We have been wanting a very simple lightweight framework.  We saw several that were out there and we are in development stage of a framework that will work on ColdFusion 7 and maybe even for older versions.  We have it working us and will soon allow a few people to work on the alpha version of it.  This framework is not to replace other frameworks but will for work any application big or small.Our goal is to keep it simple and lightweight.  Currently the framework file you include is less then 35 lines of code including comments.   When making comments or making suggestions to change it please remember the goal is to keep it very simple.When we release this it will be on RIAForge.org.

CF101 - Setup a Personal Development Enviroment.

There are many variations of things I could tell you to do to setup a Personal Development Enviroment.  This article is not a all inclusive way to setup a a Personal Development Enviroment, however this is a way for me to start helping beginners setup their way to learn ColdFusion and Web Application Development from scratch.  I hope then to help a few of you find jobs using this Personal Development Enviroment.   Even if you make changes but if this helps  you please let me know.

First I will have to assume you know HTML, however if you don’t then do not despair as I will give you code examples that will include HTML.   Later I plan to make other classes available teaching HTML, CSS, Frameworks, AJAX, and more.

What do you  need to setup your own machine for learning ColdFusion Programming.

• Database 
• Web Server 
• Web Software
• Code Editor

Some tools may combine some of these so you do not have to have seperate items. 

Database 

I would download the open source MySQL server and install it using the defaults. 

Web Server  & Web Software

1. ColdFusion 9 Installation How-ToStep 1: Auto Run your CD or Double Click the installation file, you will see this screen as it extracts the compressed files.
   
2. IntroductionWelcome to the installation Wizard of Adobe ColdFusion 9, Adobe recommends that you exit from all running applications before proceeding. This is more then a recommendation, some applications may cause the installation to fail.
   
3. License AgreementInstallation and Use of Adobe ColdFusion 9 Requires Acceptance of the Following License Agreement. Accept the terms or end installation process now.
4. Install TypeIf you do not have a serial number, select either 30-day trial or Developer Edition. NOTE: Developer Edition only allows 2 CPU’s connected at a time. Your SQL server and if your a black hat, the Reverse Proxy HTML Wrapper. If your a White Hat, then it will be your workstation computer.
5. Installer ConfigurationYour choice; Server Configuration, Enterprise Multiserver configuration & J2EE Configuration. In my step-by-step example I am using the Server Configuration. If you expect server growth I would recommend Enterprise Multiserver configuration.
6. Sub-Component InstallationSelect the subcomponents to install: Coldfusion 9 ODBC Services, Coldfusion 8 Search Services, ColdFusion 9 Solr Services, .NET Integration Services, ColdFusion 9 Documentation
7. Select Installation DirectorySelect the directory where you want to install Adobe ColdFusion 9. The default directory is C:\ColdFusion9
8. Configure Web Servers / WebsitesIf IIS is NOT installed on your system the “All IIS websites” will not be an option. You will however have the option for Apache and SUN’s version of a web server. Or if you are installing the Developer Edition you have the option for a built in web server. I recommend using the built in web server.
9. Choose Adobe ColdFusion 9 Administrator LocationSelect the location of the web root for Adobe ColdFusion 9. This is where the installer places the Adobe ColdFusion 9 Administrator. This directory must be the web root for one of the websites to be configured for use with Adobe ColdFusion 9. If configuring an IIS website, you must set scripts to be executable.  Default directory: C:\inetpub\wwwroot
10. 
11. Administrator PasswordEnter the password that you will use to restrict access to the ColdFusion Administrator. *This field is required.
12. 
13. Enable RDSThe ColdFusion Remote Development Servers (RDS) lets developers using Adobe tools remotely connect to this server for development purposes. RDS is required for Line Debugging, Report Builder, and Dreamweaver Extensions.  YOU WILL WANT THIS. Unless this is a production server and you have already debugged and tested your applications.
14. 
15. Pre-installation SummaryReview the installation options, Type, Licensing, Directories and Server Information.

19. Installation Complete
    You have successfully completed the first step in installing Adobe ColdFusion 9.

Code Editor

There is several choices CFEclipse or NotePad++.  I would choose CFEclipse for now.  You have to install Eclipse and then read the instructions on CFEclipse website on how to add CFEclipse to Eclipse.

Try going on your machine that you have installed.  http://localhost:8500/cfide/administrator/index.cfm  If you have used a password

After you have this installed then you can start working on the Beginner ColdFusion Applications.
