Last week I completed reading Designing Web Interfaces co-authored by Bill Scott/Theresa Neil from O’Reilly. The book is not about the visual design or information architecture but it talks about the standards for interaction design, patterns and principles for creating websites.

I’m a fan of CFQuickDocs.com and I utilize it often for referring the attributes/parameters of the CF tags and functions. At present, CFQuickDocs has plug-ins for Firefox and IE but not for the google chrome. So I created the ColdFusion QuickDocs Google Chrome extension.

Google announced the Second anniversary for its Chrome browser today and I’m sure that it has completely changed our browsing experience in many ways. I’ve been using Chrome as my default browser from the day of its release.

ColdFusion Builder comes with number of code assistance features, and one which is effective and handy is the code assist for included files. This feature will display the hints for the variables, methods, structures, and queries results, etc., which are defined in a page to the included page.

Code formatting is a nice utility to align codes with tabs for better readability. CF Builder by default includes an HTML Tidy Code Formatter which does the formatting of HTML codes perfectly. We can utilize this feature in HTML files by right clicking on the editor and selecting**“Run HTML Tidy”**.
