The Jump Start Course for FarCry development should be your first stop for getting to grips with your new FarCry web application. Daemon has released the course free for personal use under the Creative Commons License. On-site and online instructor led courses are available.

Despite our best efforts, the Daemonites still struggle at keeping documentation up to date. Documenting tags and functions is tortuous. Maintaining that documentation on an evolving code base is even worse. Might as well attempt to turn back the tide, or change global temperature by eating tofu.

We work with UUIDs a lot. If you have to work with application code bases that are cross platform and support multiple database servers its the most flexible primary key you'll find. But not all universally unique ids are the same. For example, ColdFusion uses an algorithm for generating them that is not the same as MS SQL Server.

When we talk about "improving performance" we're referring to things like greater throughput, more concurrent users served, improved responsiveness. Putting aside blue pills and nasal delivery systems, scaling application development is after much the same thing. When it comes to web applications, delivering your message as fast as you can leads to greater user satisfaction.

New Atlanta have open sourced their BlueDragon ColdFusion engine under the GPL2.0 open source license. Why do this? Will it work? How open will it be? What should we do? And what should Adobe do?
