TWiCF 08 – Develop Your Habits

TWiCFThis week we were LIVE on Ustream.TV!

The TIOBE Programming Community Index was the source for a rant on Barney’s Blog that we covered today and Brian shared his thoughts. In discussing “ColdFusion” vs. “CFML” we talked about an experience with Railo, the easy install and terrific support by the Railo group! Also, check out the CF Meetup we discussed on using Eclipse effectively.

I won’t cover the details of the Habits of a Good Developer discussion on this blog, you’ve got to listen to it for yourself. However, if you’re inclined to start changing your ways for the better immediately, swing on by Micky’s blog and check out his article on UML.

We’ll chat with you again next week, this time on Beginning OOP for ColdFusion Developers so join us!

UStream.TV is better known for streaming live video shows, but we find it works quite nicely with audio as well. Combined with the audience chat room, the interactive nature of the platform interests us and we’d like to see how well it works. Consider this our first experiment.

We’ll see you LIVE tonight!

TWiCF 07 – Unit Testing – Just Do It

TWiCFIn the spirit of consistency, we’ve returned for another week of ColdFusion chat and Micky Dionisio is back in the fold and armed with knowledge. Before jumping in to Unit Testing in ColdFusion, we chat a bit about a blog post regarding ColdFusion Builder and share our thoughts on some ColdFusion Meetup presentations, first on ColdFusion Builder and next on BlazeDS with ColdFusion.

Just moments before we began recording, Micky opted to take the lead on the discussion on Unit Testing and instantly began to dive into the details with no hesitation. Unit Testing is a passionate subject for Micky which is evident in his coverage as well as his everyday usage of unit testing in his development work. We encourage your feedback and questions on Unit Testing and are eager to bring you more in the weeks to come. To get started, check out CFCUnit, CFUnit and of course MXUnit and experience the joy of the green bar!

We’ll chat with you again soon!
