This week I have been mainly reading up on ColdFusion [frameworks, architecture, how-to's and what not's all to do with MX]… And a little CSS.

1. Sean Corfield, is the Director of Architecture at Macromedia and a one of the people behind Mach-ii, this is his blog and it some has some pretty useful insights into the CF developer world.
2. Basically a Macromedia document explaining the development of applications using the Mach-II framework
3. FuseBox for MX, this is the official home
4. The unofficial home of Mach-II at Sean Corfield’s site
5. A nifty little guide to configuring native MySQL JDBC drivers in CFMX [and more JDBC info]. His site also has a wealth of additional information on CFMX, great stuff…
6. ColdFusion MX 6.1 Step-by-Step Creating and Configuring Multiple Instances - as the title indicates how to install/configure CFMX to run multiple instances of a server on JRun, though this article appears to be only focused on using the built-in web server he does talk about using IIS when adding new sites.
7. Purcell also pointed to this source for debugging cfmx apps. Check it out and his set up info
8. Integrating Xerces with CFMX/Jrun.
9. Tag insight updates for Dreamweaver users after the 6.1 upgrade to CFMX
10. For those lucky enough to have the joy of working with Spectra, well Macromedia released the source a while back…
11. I am definitely on the CF trail… Here is a little article on how to create your own cftags to be used from within cfquery. Swell.
12. Subscribe to a CFC mailing list covering topics on OO Methodologies and Design Patterns for CF
13. Sean is rapidly becoming my favourite source of information for all things CF/Flash. Here he discusses design patterns in relation to Flash remoting.
14. Mezzoblue provides a handy list of things to consider when developing CSS and it also contains the order for borders, think TRouBLed (Top, Right, Bottom, Left).
15. An interesting discussion about collapsing margins in CSS
16. A lot of info on CSS and it’s bugs, some neat demos and a great article on Floats. Eric Meyer also gives us more insight into the float problem.
17. Something I was going to write about, but someone beat me to it. All you need to know about building an accessible form…
18. This two part article was interesting for a number of reasons. The main one being a showcase on how standards implemented sites could benefit companies in terns of savings. That’s only one of the reasons I am jotting this one down, the other he has links to some mobile device emulators… Always come in handy these!
19. ALA is carrying a second article this week, another look at how to implement round corners.
