ColdFusion and SugarCRM Integration

Submitted by Webmaster on Saturday February 07, 2009

If you would like to integrate your ColdFusion site with SugarCRM, please see the new ColdSugar project at RIAForge. This is a simple CFC that allows for complete integration with a SugarCRM account. You can get any kind of data and perform updates as well. I wish I could say there was something sexy about this code, but their API was relatively simple to work with.

Opening Up Facebook Status, Notes, Links, and Video to Facebook Platform

Submitted by Webmaster on Saturday February 07, 2009

We're launching several new APIs for Facebook Platform today. These new interfaces open up access to the content and methods for sharing through several Facebook Applications -- including Facebook Status, Notes, Links (what we used to call Posted Items), and Video -- to go along with the APIs already available for uploading and viewing through Facebook Photos. We've seen increasing engagement with over 15 million users updating their status each day and sharing over 24 million links per month. We wanted to make sure this content and the ability to share this content was available through our standard APIs.

Submitted by Webmaster on Friday February 06, 2009

Enabling social information to flow through the Web is one of the core goals of Facebook. In the two months since Facebook Connect became generally available, over 4,000 sites and desktop applications have gone live with the service.

MySQL Founder Monty leaves MySQL, starts a new company

Submitted by Webmaster on Friday February 06, 2009

I have now departed from Sun and joined my own company, Monty Program Ab.

There were a lot of rumors around me resigning in August/September last year. I didn't back then want to comment on the rumors, because I was still trying to work something out with Sun. Now I can finally describe a bit of what was going on.

Building AutoComplete Inputs with PHP, PEAR, Dojo and YUI

Submitted by Webmaster on Thursday February 05, 2009

Fortunately, modern programming toolkits like Dojo provide ready-made widgets that have the necessary client-side functions for autocomplete. Add a little bit of server-side glue, in the form of a PHP script that talks to a database to generate valid suggestions, and enabling this functionality in a Web application now becomes a matter of hours, rather than days.

MySQL Query Analyzer review

Submitted by Webmaster on Thursday February 05, 2009

I had the chance to review the new Query Analyzer program from Sun over the last few days. I am very interested in how it performs as I have previously not had a chance to see the program in action (or the Enterprise Monitor program either for that matter). So, before getting into what the Query Analyzer can (and can not) do let's look at what Sun says it does.
