Escaping Form Values - Understanding The ColdFusion htmlEditFormat() Life Cycle [+]
Kinky Solutions | 9/3/10 4:30 PM | ColdFusion
When users can interact with your website by submitting content, it opens your site up to potential harm. In the worst case scenario, this might provide malicious hackers with a way to execute Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks; in the best "bad" case scenario, it might simply mess up your site's layout and lead to a poor user experience. All of these outcomes can be avoided if you understand how data output gets rendered, where it needs to be escaped, and how to escape it. When it come ... Read More »

codebass | 9/3/10 4:30 PM | Adobe, Audio, Audition, Featured Articles, Music, Published Works
As CodeBass readers know, the purpose of this project is to bring music lovers together from all over the Adobe community. However, it became fairly obvious to me early on that it would also serve to expose people to platforms with which they don’t typically interact. The CodeBass team itself represents a good mix. Sure, [...]
Adobe AIR and Microphone Support [+]
Raymond Camden's ColdFusion Blog | 9/3/10 4:16 PM | AIR, jQuery, AJAX
So one of the cooler features of Adobe AIR is it's ability to work with the user's microphone. I whipped up a quick sample of this feature today that demonstrates this. In this first entry we are simply going to monitor the user's audio and in the ne...

Thinking in Clojure? [+]
Sean Corfield | 9/3/10 3:45 PM | cfmljure, clojure, coldfusion
There's a discussion on the Clojure mailing list about how to learn to "think in Clojure" (or think in Lisp or, really, think in functional programming terms). A prominent recommendation is The Joy Of Clojure by Michael Fogus and Chris Houser, which everyone says is a great book, but here are a couple of free online books that were also recommended:
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs by Abelson, Sussman, and Sussman. It's the "entry-level subject in computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology" and it uses a dialect of Lisp called Scheme, not Clojure, but it provides a good grounding in both computer science and functional programming.
How to Design Programs by Felleisen, Findler, Flatt and Krishnamurthi. Th...
Quick AIR Development Trick - Send to Second Monitor [+]
Aarrgghh!! | 9/3/10 3:45 PM | AIR
I've been developing and debugging an AIR app for an upcoming demo, and running into the same problem, I start debugging the app in ADL, and immediately have to move it over to my second monitor so I can see code while looking at the app.
Or I could just set the X and Y coordinates in my application manifest file. Now it launches on the second monitor every time.
Just have to remember to switch back before production.

jQuery css() [+]
code.christophervigliotti.com | 9/3/10 3:00 PM | AJAX, JavaScript, jQuery
I am the process of migrating a code base from Prototype + old-school JS to jQuery (the new mayor of Awesome Town), and ran across some code that was replacing some (but not all) styles of an element. This led me to jQuery’s css() method, one of the many handy CSS-related features in jQuery.. As [...]
Tweetdeckin' the Twitter [+]
web-rat.com | 9/3/10 12:45 PM | Community
I mentioned before that I'm on Twitter. I thought I'd mention what tools I use. I use Adobe AIR desktop application called tweetdeck from tweetdeck.com (screenshot). I have 4 columns that I keep track of. First column is the main twitter timeline with all the people in it that I'm following. The 2nd column is the essentially the same as the @mentions (or in this case, @webRat) link on the twitter website. So, anyone that talks directly to me or happens to mention my username, that tweet will show up there. The 3rd column is a simple search on the world "Railo." The 4th is pretty much everything CFML related (search: coldfusion OR cfml OR cfbuilder OR "coldfusion builder" OR cf9 OR cf8 -job -jobs) - I use this column for trying to assist peo...
cfmljure - using Clojure from CFML [+]
Sean Corfield | 9/3/10 12:00 PM | cfmljure, clojure, coldfusion, oss
If you follow me on Twitter, you'll have seen me posting about Clojure quite a bit recently. I really like the simplicity and elegance of Clojure. I like the function programming style. I like that it's a dynamic scripting language. I like that it can also be compiled to JVM bytecode and used in any mixed-language project on the JVM.
About a month ago I helped someone get some Clojure code compiled and integrated into CFML, like any other Java-based project, but that set me thinking about being able to just use raw Clojure scripts from CFML without needing to go thru the compilation and deployment process. I asked on the Clojure mailing list how to load and run scripts from Java and that gave me what I needed to create a simple CFC wrapper ...
