New halhelms.com Site!

After...too long!..of not updating my site, I'm very happy to announce that there's a new halhelms.com site.

There's a good deal of content on the site and an "Are You OO-Ready" quiz for ColdFusion OO developers. Check it out and let me know if you like it!

jqGrid with ColdFusion

Readers of mine will know I'm a big fan of jQuery. Now, we have a great Ajaxified grid in CF8, but a friend wrote to ask me how to use jqGrid (http://www.trirand.com/blog/) with ColdFusion. No problem: I am a freaking guru, after all!

Four and a half hours later, a broken man, having enlisted help from my colleague, Maciej, I finally have the answer...

In the midst of five full days of OO, we managed to sneak in a couple of lunches at the beach and a night at my house of spaghetti, wine, and more good discussion. Oh… Continue

Book Review: High Performance Web Sites

Wow.

Last week, when I arrived home from work, the new O'Reilly book, High Performance Web Sites was waiting for me. I had ordered it thinking it might have a point or two that was interesting. Instead, I found a book so fascinating I could hardly put down.

The book is written by Steve Souders, one of the really smart people behind Yahoo!'s site. Steve starts the book with these words:

"Most of my web career has been spent as a backend engineer. As such, I dutifully approached each per… Continue
