The whiteboard is a place for me to organize snippets of web scripting code. I've organized my snippets by technology. Choose the mode you wish the whiteboard to switch to. This will then load the appropriate links to your left. Once the links are loaded, click on any one to execute the code.

Cold Fusion and JSRS

The whiteboard features some examples of Cold Fusion Components (CFC's) and Javascript Remote Scripting (JSRS) with ColdFusion MX and CFCs. CFC's are new to Cold Fusion MX (CF v6) and introduce some OO concepts to Cold Fusion development. I think they are really cool and although it takes a little more work to set them up, they are well worth the effort. JSRS is just plain great stuff -- developed by Brent Ashley in the summer of 2000. I have put some source examples of JSRS with CF online because the documentation on Brent's site for the CF port is very scant indeed. Thanks to Vui K. Lo of Taiwan for writing the CF v5 port and helping by providing me with an initial source code example. On March 14, 2003, I ported Vui's CF5 version over to CFMX, encapsulating core functions in a CFC. See the examples for source code.

JavaScript

I enrolled in a JavaScript class during the late fall 2002 term at Cincinnati State University. Although I had worked with JavaScript off and on for a number of years, I still thought that taking this course would help formalize my knowledge of JavaScript somewhat. I am a person who believes that there is always something you can learn, no matter how good you think you are at something. So, with this said, when you choose the Javascript Mode, you will see a list of weeks, corresponding to the assignments given out for each week of the class. I thought it would be good to capture all of the assignments here in case anyone out there wanted to repurpose the code for something or other.
