Seven Languages In Seven Weeks By Bruce Tate - What An Adventure

Posted: January 28, 2011 at 10:25 AM by Ben Nadel

Tags: Clojure, Erlang, Haskell, Io, Lisp, Prolog, Ruby, Scala

About two months ago, I started reading Seven Languages in Seven Weeks by Bruce Tate . I went into the book with a significant understanding of only two programming Languages: ColdFusion and Javascript. Now, not only do I have a sense of how many programming languages there are out there (Tate's list of 7 was selected from over a hundred language... read more »

Seven Languages In Seven Weeks: Scala - Day 3

Posted: December 17, 2010 at 10:20 AM by Ben Nadel

Tags: Scala

I just finished day 3 of Scala from Seven Languages in Seven Weeks . Today was a tough day for me because it focused mostly on the concept on concurrency. ColdFusion, my language of choice, has threading in the form of CFThread; but, I am getting the feeling that "threading" and "concurrency" are two very different beasts.

While feeling the pain of syntax rules that are beyond my current understanding, Scala is proving to be a fun language. And, after several people have questioned my style (perhaps rightly so), I have really made it a point to start going with the flow and e... read more »

Seven Languages In Seven Weeks: Scala - Day 1

Posted: December 14, 2010 at 10:12 AM by Ben Nadel

Tags: Scala

After just barely surviving Prolog , it's time for the Scala chapter in my Seven Langauges in Seven Weeks book by Bruce Tate . Coming from a ColdFusion background, it's comforting to know that Scala runs on the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) in the same way that ColdFusion does; and, just as with ColdFusion, Scala has access to all of the core Java ... read more »

Script Tags, jQuery, And Html(), Text() And Contents()
This is still an issue 2 years later. jQuery is supposed to remediate these cross browser issues, no? I have been unable to find any statement from the jQuery team calling this behavior "by de ... read »

Strange Interaction Between DeserializeJson(), ArrayContains(), And Database Values In ColdFusion
@Ben: What version of Java are you using? Also, did you test users.id to see what Java reports as the data type? I wonder if it's not a Java primitive data type, but getting returned as something ... read »

Strange Interaction Between DeserializeJson(), ArrayContains(), And Database Values In ColdFusion
@Tom, Good thought, but no dice. Both of these still exhibit the same behavior: users.id[ users.currentRow ] users[ "id" ][ users.currentRow ] It's just something whacky happening with ... read »

Strange Interaction Between DeserializeJson(), ArrayContains(), And Database Values In ColdFusion
Could your problem be that "users.id" is actually an ARRAY, not a single value? Perhaps try it again with "users.id[1]" (I only have CF8 here at work). ... read »

Nested Views, Routing, And Deep Linking With AngularJS
Hi, Just a quick thank you. As it happens, for my own purposes, the pending ui-router work being done in native angular is likely the one I'll adopt, but your exploration, code and documentation of ... read »
