2007-10-12 23:00:00 I made a post recently about using Barbecue barcode software in ColdFusion. In my example I instantiated the CFC object and called the getCode128 function as the source of an image tag. With a bit of experimentation you will find that although this produces an image… that’s ALL it produces. Why? Cause we essentially hijack ... More About: Development

Bringing in OOP?
2007-09-29 04:00:00 At work for the last couple of weeks a coworker has been working very hard to design a custom framework for the web based application that we all develop for and support.
