  • Version 2.08 Winner - Dan Vega!
    • Progamming exercise! In CF (obviously) write a script that loops from 1 to 100 and outputs the numbers. When a number is a multiple of 3, output "ColdFusion" and a line break. When a number is a multiple of 5, output "Rocks" and a line break. When a number is a multiple of 3 and 5, output "ColdFusion Rocks" and a line break. Slickest solution wins!
    • Answer:
  • Version 2.09 - Deadline: Saturday, March 31, 2007
    • Another historical question. ColdFusion used to be spelled with a "space" between cold and fusion as in Cold [space] Fusion.. What version of Allaire ColdFusion did this they remove the space and change to the current camel-case spelling of ColdFusion (all one word)?
  • Version 2.10 - Deadline: Saturday, April 14, 2007
    • Be a human CF compiler. This is a brain teaser so resist the urge to fire up a scribble page to test. Can you spot the five errors?

  • Brian Swartzfager (has a comment to our know some OO before looking at frameworks): How much OO do you feel somebody should know before you should look at a framework?
  • Tom Woestman: Moving to SVN from VSS and shared dev servers to local development. What do you think the ideal development environment is a single developer, a small team (2-3 people) and a large team (4+ people)?
  • John Allen: How do you setup your files up for security? Changing framework code willy-nilly -- talk to the framework developers first instead of rolling your own version!

  • Version 2.06 Winner - Brian Swartzfager had the right version, Brian Kotek had the right reason--we'll see if they can both win something!
    • In what version of (Allaire) ColdFusion was the request scope added? Extra points if you know who requested it and the reason why it was added?
    • In version 4.01. Added at the request (hehe) of Team Spectra because Spectra was build on hundreds of custom tags and many were nested deep. There wasn't a scope for the duration of the request which made certain things really hard.
  • Version 2.07 � Deadline: Saturday, March 10, 2007
    • CFLocation performs a 302 - temporarily moved statuscode redirect. What if you need to do a 301 moved permanently redirect? Give us the code to do it!
