My Secret Life as a Spaghetti Coder
home | about | contact | privacy statement
Thanks to Dave Shuck's post about Ben Forta's presentation at Dallas/Fort Worth CFUG, I now know a lot more about CF8 than I did before. He has a long list of new features, but the two I'm most excited about are inline arrays and structs! Dave showed a couple of examples:

<cfset MyArray = ["CFIMAGE","CFWINDOW","CFPOD","CFMENU"] />
<cfset MyStruct = {Name="Dave",FavoriteLanguage="CFML",Cool=true} />


Now, if we could just get closures ... =)

And ternary operators. I'm dropping this hint on every blog posting about the other great stuff, just to give the appearance of overwhelming support. :-)

Haha great idea!

I also meant to mention all the new operators (which also excited me, because I like concise code). Ben Forta posted about them at http://www.forta.com/blog/index.cfm/2007/5/1/ColdF...
