Ben Nadel compares the relative speed of creating and consuming a fluent, chainable API using both ColdFusion Components and ColdFusion Closures in Lucee CFML 5.3.4.80. Both approaches are very fast, with Closures being consistently faster (at least at small scale)….

Ben Nadel has noticed developers using the double-bang (!!) operator far more often in their JavaScript code than they have to. As such, he provides a series of unnecessary examples followed by cleaner, more intuitive examples….

Ben Nadel attempts to generate an interactive PDF based on an interactive InVision prototype using Lucee CFML 5.3.4.80 and the Flying Saucer PDF extension. While it only supports “click” actions, we can create a delightfully robust experience!…

Ben Nadel takes inspiration from the CSS Podcast and looks at applying CSS Flexbox layouts to pseudo-elements, which allows us to apply some very cool layout techniques on the implicit DOM-structure of the pseudo-element and its text-content….

The topic of validating an OAuth 2.0 access tokens comes up frequently on the Okta developer blog. Often we talk about how to validate JSON Web Token (JWT) based access tokens; however, this is NOT part of the OAuth 2.0 specification. JWTs are so commonly used that Spring Security supported them before adding support for remotely validating tokens (which is part of the OAuth 2.0 specification.)
In this post, you will build a simple application that takes advantage of both types of validation.
Prerequisites
Whether you should validate access tokens locally (e.g., a JWT) or remotely (per spec) is a question of how much security you need. Often, people jump to, “I need all of the securities!” This statement simply isn’t true—how much sec

Ben Nadel uses the CFDocument and CFPDF tags to produce a PDF in which each page is a different size in Lucee CFML 5.3.6.61. To see this in action, he creates a PDF of images in which page is right-sized for the image that it is rendering….
