CF101 Archive: October 2006 Five Cool Things with ColdFusion

Disclaimer: In 2007, sys-con closed down the ColdFusion Developer's Journal, and I wanted to post all the articles I had written to this site. I started, but got distracted on other things. I'm performing a purge of my digital archives and found the articles. At this point they are posted here more for my own archival purposes than because anyone is longing to read them.

This article is being reposted in accordance to my contract with sys-con. I had them change the default contract so that I could post articles on my personal site.

This is one of my favorite articles; because I cover a lot of the cool things I had been doing in my own development, such as hooking CF up to a credit card scanner and a bar code scanner and generating bar codes. Around this time, CFDJ's publication schedule started to get more and more spotty. I didn't know for sure at the time, but it was probably starting to wind down. The publication world was starting to change, and magazines were not going to be the future.
