https://confs.tech/https://github.com/scraly/developers-conferences-agenda Blogs, Tweets, and Videos of the Week 12/20/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Paging Through Data Using LIMIT And OFFSET In MySQL And ColdFusionWhen I render a data-grid for a user, I usually use pagination to allow the user to iterate through some relatively finite amount of records. The other day, however, I had to build an administrative UI (user interface) that surfaced a tremendous amount of data - possibly hundreds-of-thousands of records. With so much data, standard pagination didn't seem like a meaningful solution. Instead, I switched over to using LIMIT and OFFSET in my MySQL, which allows the admin to page through the data one slice at a time. I don't use this technique that often, so I thought a ColdFusion demo would be fun.

Much like tabs vs spaces there are people who are both for and against using lines of code as some sort of measurement. I won’t get into that argument but I will show you a fantastic tool to make this easy: cloc
cloc counts blank lines, comment lines, and physical lines of source code in many programming languages.
It’s available for Windows, Mac and Linux.

ColdBox has a validation module called cbValidation for powerful form validation. We have this available to us in CBWIRE as well, which allows us to build forms with instant validation and messaging for the user without any page refreshing.

12/18/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Using INSERT INTO SELECT To Duplicate Rows In MySQL And Lucee CFMLLast week, as part of a duplication workflow, I had to duplicate a bunch of rows in one table while changing one of the column values (think, the conceptual "foreign key" column). To do this, I used MySQL's INSERT INTO SELECT syntax which provides a bulk INSERT API that is powered by a SELECT statement. I'd never actually done this in a production application before; so, I thought it might be worth a quick MySQL and ColdFusion demo.

12/16/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Breaking An IPv4 Address Range Up Into CIDR Ranges In Lucee CFML 5.3.9.141The other day, this blog was being attacked by a malicious actor in Australia. I identified 38 unique IP addresses that were all poking and prodding the application, looking for weaknesses. Thankfully, this caused zero issues for the site itself or its visitors. However, in the heat of the moment, as I was adding these IPs to Cloudflare's Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules, I realized that my understanding of how IP addresses work was quite lacking. I needed to create CIDR ranges for the WAF; but, wasn't sure how to do that. As such, I wanted to take a moment and play around with IP addresses, taking a given range and breaking it up into the tightest possible CIDR ranges in Lucee CFML.

12/14/22 - Podcast - Working Code Podcast - Episode 105: No Effort DecemberWelcome to the start of No Effort December! As Adam explained to me, that's the time of the year in which we gather 'round the mics and talk about whatever the heck comes to mind. We just passed two years on the Working Code podcast - woot woot!, it's the holidays, and we've been peopling super hard with our families — we all need a little jolly, no-effort relaxation. On today's show, Carol wonders if she can use Hackathons as a means to "improve community outreach" - one of her team's new OKR (Objectives and Key Results). And, I discuss the difference between deploying on Friday vs. deploying during the holiday (and why these are not the same thing and why you shouldn't be a jerk-face to your co-workers).
