VHHA-MCI Application Development

Posted by Mike on May 22, 2008

The Virginia Healthcare and Hospital Association needed an application built that could tie together all of the hospitals in the Commonwealth of Virginia for purposes of status notification and disaster alerting. Due to the complex nature of the system, only a custom-developed web based application would do the job. I was the chief architect of the system from the database model to the fluid user interface.

Wheels API Expolorer

I used the Static Page Component Doc Generator by Christopher Kent Wigginton to generate some documentation based on the wheels cfcs. I figured that until the documentation was fleshed out a bit more, this might be helpful. You can download a zip or you can browse online.

I hope to use CFCDoc Revamped once version 0.48 comes out and I can generate some static html. My host doesn’t support CFML (as of yet), so I can’t run CFCDoc dynamically on my server. If you are interested in running CFCDoc Revamped on your server, all you have to do is change the file extension to .cfc on all of the .cfm files which are included by base.cfc, controller.cfc, dispatch.cfc, and model.cfc.

Making the Blog with ColdFusion on Wheels (part 1) 3

Posted by Mike on May 17, 2008

I have been following the ColdFusion on Wheels project for a while now, and I finally got around to making a video tutorial. It’s pretty long (38 minutes) and I have bad allergies (seasonal) right now so my voice is a little nasally and annoying. With those caveats out of the way, if you still want to proceed, you can view the video in your browser or you may download it.
