As I blogged earlier, ColdFusion 10 now supports XPath 2.0 in the xmlSearch() and xmlTransform() functions . This might not sound like a very exciting upgrade; however, when you realize that ColdFusion 10 now enables the parsing of "dirty" HTML code into valid XML documents, suddenly, the world of XML becomes a lot more interesting. NOTE : ... ead More raquo; In today's world, we don't often work with XML; the majority of data exchange is done using JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). Even APIs that support both XML and JSON seem to be dropping XML support in their roadmap (I know this from personal experience).

And, with our new funding, we're looking to ... ead More raquo; ColdFusion 10 Beta introduced two revolutionary concepts to the ColdFusion language: Closures and Function Expressions . Closures allow functions to retain their lexical bindings when passed out of context; Function Expressions allow us to define functions as part of larger expressions. These two new features really facilitate the use of "functional programming" - code that ... ead More amp;raquo; The last couple of days have been really exciting as we've been exploring the new Closures and Function Expressions that have been added to ColdFusion 10. First, we looked at the general structure and behavior of closures and function expressions ; then, we looked at ... ead More raquo; Yesterday, I really started to dig into the Closures and Function Expressions that were introduced in ColdFusion 10 .

Maybe they should have APPLYD a little more diligence.
Or finished High School.
Or hired a proofreader.
Why you should always pay someone to proof-read everything. Especially the stuff on your homepage. Or stuff that's on every single page. Or the widget that tells people to take out their wallet and/or credit card. Lately, I've been playing around with Node.js on Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) . Coming from a ColdFusion background, moving into an asynchronous event loop can be challenging. Simple things like form processing can become complex workflows when even one step of Validation or Processing needs to be performed asynchronously. I've been ... ead More raquo; After reading the REST API Design Rulebook by Mark Masse , I'm all jazzed up about API design! This recent enthusiasm has afforded me the motivation to attack a number of new topics all at the same time.
