It's got syntax highlighting and a simple yet very effective macro system that's perfect for e.g. writing mach-II getters and setters or automating cfqueryparams of different kinds. After working with CFM pretty much every working day since I started in 1996, I consider myself reasonably intimate with the language. I don't use the manual too much, I know pretty much all the tags, although the order of the parameters in functions like datediff and datecompare have stuck to a teflon patch in my brain; i.e., not. So I keep the CFMX reference manual shortcut at close hand. It typically takes me something like 45 seconds to find what I'm looking for - the 6.1 version of it is just so much better than all previous versions of the manual, I'm completely in love ;). Oh, and yes, to this date I have never used CFGRID in a commercial setting. I think I tried it in one of the first versions and then considered it a dud. If someone didn't want to hire me for this, then I'm probably better off staying away from them anyway.

Just cause I'm in a snarky mood... - Advanced Cold Fusion Programming, 4 years of experience - 3 years experience in Cold Fusion 6.0 - Minimum 3 years SQL Server 7 db experience - Minimum 4+ years web developing experience Shouldn't that last line read 10 years or does she want a total of 14 years?

Not a problem. Next time you want to post like a snob, please feel free to post again. I can use more material for my stand up comedy. :) Oh.. and to the "Way to waste bandwidth"... If your company is that concerned with how much bandwidth that discussion used, I suggest you upgrade your internet connection up to a full 56k modem.

To all those who childishly flamed our post on the incorrect list, we salute you! Way to waste bandwidth! We're so impressed with your skills that we politely request that you NEVER apply for a position with our company. Thanks. To all those who clearly understood the points we were trying to get across, and the importance of those points, we humbly bow to you. We commend you for trying to help out your fellow man, however futile it may be. The bottom line is we received several high-quality candidates from some of the biggest names in the ColdFusion community. All were well-qualified and understood the importance of the high standards we hold them to. We were very pleased with the results from the CF-Talk list. (Thanks, Michael!)

The initial post didn't seem snobby to me, but I was unclear if they were looking for a website designer or a website programmer. I don't know of anyone who excels at both. I don't use CSS to build web sites; I try to use designers to build websites, wherever possible. At 02:20 PM 8/7/2006, John Wilker wrote: >Guess HOF lists can't be second on the TO line.

RE: IDEA: Candidate Blacklist
I'd be all for that as long as (like I said before) each side had their fair turn as giving their side. Original Message: - From: Christian N. Abad [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2006 19:13:33 -0400 To: cf-jobs-talk@houseoffusion.com Subject: IDEA: Candidate Blacklist Hello Everyone: In light of today's rather interesting thread on the CF-Jobs and CF-Jobs-Talk lists, it has come to my attention that we may need to create a "Candidate Blacklist" for individuals just like Ray Meade, Phillip M. Vector, Kevin Mansel, and everyone else who feels the need to flame job postings. I'd be happy to have one of my junior resources bang out a simple application to track these people who, as an employer, I would never want to hire - not even to scrub the toilets. I feel a simple "forums" site would handle this nicely. (The candidate blacklist, not the toilet scrubbing...) I'm thinking of a concise and memorable URL, like: cfjobsblacklist.com donothirethesepeople.com thesepeoplehavenothingbettertodothanflamejobposts.com ;-) Thoughts? ~Christian ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Jobs-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:3058 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Jobs-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.11
