Away3D Basics - The View and the Scene

When you look out through a window in your house, you only see what is visible from your point of view, not what is occluded by the walls. The viewable area is decided by the size and shape of the window, so you'll see a "cropped" view of what's outside. This is exactly how the View works in Away3D as well. It is the "window" that we view our 3D world through. (translate)

Subversion on OSX comes of age

I've been using TortoiseSVN on the PC for ages, and it really rocks. Contextual menus, status icons, etc. makes working with Subversion a breeze there. However, a while back I tried to get it rolling in a useful manner on OS X and it never really felt good enough to use. No more.Here are a few quick tips on getting up to snuff using OS X.Get svnX.

Active Directory LDAP Authentication

I recently had a project for a client where I needed to authenticate with their implementation of Microsoft’s ADAM. Behind the scenes they are syncing their Active Directory as well as their SAP data with ADAM. Using ColdFusion, I was able to to do something like the following: <cfif Trim(selUsername) neq "" and Trim(selPassword) neq ""> <cfset [...] (translate)

Thanks to Gert and Michael of Railo

I want to thank Gert and Michael for the great presentation last week to the Boston CFUG on their open-source CFML engine, Railo. They were even kind enough to come out with us to Dun Gahaerin's pub with us afterwards. They've done some very impressive work with Railo, which I'll cover in another post. Suffice it to say that they've not only provided a very robust and feature-complete engine, but they've made some improvements to their administrative interface that should prove advantageous to the CF development and hosting community. Finally, it's obvious they've put a lot of thought into improvements (translate)

Subversion Makes a Fool out of Me

I've had this ongoing problem with Subversion with one of my ColdFusion projects. The set up with the client is far from ideal - here's how it works: I have a Subversion repository for all of the code and I use it for all of my work. When I'm ready to upload changes I export from Subversion and upload either the whole thing or just the changes if there are only a few. Once the work is uploaded to the server the client can download view templates, make changes to them and upload the changes. This allows them to make (translate)
