Duck Typing in ColdFusion

Posted by : Joe Zack

Duck typing refers to the ability of ColdFusion to figure out what kind of variable you're storing based on the value you're actually storing. I suppose it also applies to ColdFusion's ability to figure out the scope of your variable as well. But just because you can do it, doesn't nescessarily mean you should.

User Defined Functions

Posted by : Joe Zack

CFHow.com has a fantastic article introducing the concept of User Defined Functions in ColdFusion. Below I've pasted an exceprt. Click it to view the whole article.

"...user defined functions add a level of modularity to your programming which really adds to the scalability and manageability of your projects. In this article we’ll go ahead and create a really basic function for formatting a datetime object. Something like this can really come in handy on any sort of big report where might need to format a date time object in the same way in different places. Doing this in a UDF not only makes your code a little easier to read, but also makes modifications a lot simpler."
