Simulating Safari on iPad in Safari on Desktop

Anuj Gakhar — Thu, 10 May 2012 08:30:56 +0000

One of the sites I am working on works differently on the desktop than it does on the iPad. And whenever I make a change, I end up having to test on both my iPad and my Mac which is OK most of the times but if I am doing more than 5-6 changes, then [...]

HTML5 Forms, Fallback Options and Validation

Anuj Gakhar — Thu, 03 May 2012 11:08:34 +0000

I am starting to get into HTML5 development slowly and one of the first things that came across was the forms. HTML5 has got some nice features up it’s sleeve when it comes to forms. I won’t be going into the details of what features are available in HTML5 forms and what they do and [...]

Replacing BugTracer Email Functionality in ColdBox with LogBox Loggers

Anuj Gakhar — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 18:33:01 +0000

ColdBox used to have a BugTracerReport config element which you could configure to send error emails to yourself while showing a user friendly error page to the site users. Not quite sure of the exact version, but I think this feature was deprecated in version 3.1 in favour of the new LogBox which comes built-in [...]

Anuj Gakhar — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 13:11:52 +0000

In my previous post, I did a very simple REST service using ColdFusion 10. The way ColdFusion handles REST-enabled services is via a pre-defined Servlet Mapping in web.xml that looks like this :- This Servlet Mapping has a URL Pattern which tells CF that any URL starting with “/rest” is to be treated as a [...]

ColdFusion 10 went into public beta a couple of days ago and I installed it on a Windows 7 VM, to test it out. There are a LOT of new features in this release and I am sure the next few weeks will be pretty busy in the ColdFusion blogosphere, with posts coming from all [...]

I switched computers today to do some Xcode development. (Yes, I am trying to learn iOS development using Objective-C). I had everything setup on my MacBook Pro but I wanted to do Xcode development on the new iMac I got. My sample iPhone app that I am building was working fine in the simulator. Problems [...]

Using Apache mod_cache

Anuj Gakhar — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:20:20 +0000

Recently, I’ve been looking at some of the caching mechanisms to allow for a faster response time from Apache webserver. I know this is a pretty huge topic and it appears that the general consensus is to use one of the known tools like redis, memcached or varnish. However, before diving into one of these [...]

A long awaited update on coldfusiondocs.com

Anuj Gakhar — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 10:57:31 +0000

I launched coldfusiondocs.com in December, 2007 and back then, it was a Flex based app. I got feedback from several people and everyone liked the app. However, for the past year or so, I have not been able to give it the time and attention that it deserves for several reasons. I have been keeping [...]
