I did some research in the blogs and on Twitter, and often when someone mentioned AS3Dmod, the recurring theme was the lack of documentation. Yeah… but creating proper documentation is such a difficult task! First of all, it’s hard to find enough free time. Then, even if you find some, most of us, including me, [...] (translate)

Unit Testing Coldfusion (CFC) Private Methods

To be honest I've not really seen much written detailing good (or even standard) ways of unit testing private methods without making their scope less restrictive than private. Thus I'll detail the way a co-worker a technique a co-worker and I came up with that seems like it will work pretty well. If you see any potential problems with this approach please just let me know in the comments.The approach is fairly simple. We create a helper class that extends and "wraps" our class to be tested. This helper class then has simple methods in it that expose the private (translate)

SOA is not dead, but complexity is killing some implementations

I had a number of people send in references and links to various pieces that declare SOA dead. They all seem to be based on Anne Thomas Manes blog article (which I could not find directly).
