I have created a Flickr group called “ColdFusion Developers“. We have different groups such as CFUnited or Fusebox etc. but having a general group would also be a good idea. We already have a lot of photos over there and you can try to find your photo. If you know any names to go with […]

Why use Whole Brain Programming
Why do I use the whole brain for programming rather than the traditional left brain skills such as logical thinking and syntax? Because it makes for better programs and happier clients.

TeraTech Development Approach – Application Architecting and Fusecoding
This is a continuation from the ongoing discussion of TeraTech’s Development Approach. 4.
