SOTR2010 – Day 2
So, unfortunately, Scotch on the Rocks is over for 2010!

A brief overview of what i’ve learnt / taken away from day one of Scotch on the Rocks. Adobe Keynote – Terry Ryan The keynote for me was very interesting, Terry Ryan gave a brief overview of new bits and pieces of ColdFusion 9 including ORM which i think i definately need to look into and learn.

Since joining Learning...

After a recent project at work involving some work with Campaign Monitor i’ve decided to build a ColdFusion based wrapper / cfc to go with there API. (I couldnt find any other previous attempts at it!)

Welcome back to my website, brand new and now running off of WordPress! I’ve decided to use WordPress merely for the easiness factor, i can change the theme when and where i like, if need some extra functionality i’ll just find another wonderful plugin!

The more and more i use the WordPress platform, the more and more i love it! I’ve used it on this site as well as a blog for the...
