  You're very welcome. And it's getting a lot easier for people to use it. Less easier for people to make excuses for not using it. Simply dropping Grunt into an existing workflow can change a project's maintainability drastically. Keep it up, thanks for digging deeper!... read more »

• Passing Rulesets To Mixins In Less CSS

  Ben, Thanks for doing this series on Less. Every single day I still find out many people choose to not use a pre-compiler for one reason or another.

I'm certain there isn't a day goes by while in active development in CFML, jQuery, etc. that you do not cross our minds from time to time. You mean a lot to us, keep up the good work.

• ColdFusion 10 Beta - Closures And Function Expressions And Threads

  Posted on Oct 17, 2012 at 3:17 PM

  This is precisely what I just send you in an "Ask Ben", relating to FoundryCF's Event Emitter CFC and events in general... I also like the Emitter class syntax you used instead of using a CFC... In Railo 4 BETA,it would appear I can't use the "thread {}" within a function expre... read more »

• Experimenting With GitHub Gist-Based Code Samples For My Blog

  Posted on Jul 25, 2012 at 9:11 AM

  @Ben, I like the idea of taking embedded code snippets of existing or new blog posts and automatically sending / creating gists based off of those posts. It amazes me that the world of bloggers have not been doing it in this way. On Wordpress, they convert pre-created gist links into embeds. I t... read more »

• Using jQuery As A Named Module In RequireJS

  Posted on Nov 16, 2011 at 11:19 AM

  Ben, As always - great post. I'm an avid reader, and a huge fan. I've been meaning to stop being lazy and begin using something like RequireJS before my new project I'm working on becomes unworkable... Just so intimidating to go down a new path... Hoping you inspire me to move forward.... read more »

• Using An ArgumentCollection URL Parameter With ColdFusion Web Services

  Posted on Nov 11, 2010 at 11:26 AM

  So would this be similar to passing an a params arg to a JS function and dynamically creating getters / setters? Or would this even make sense to do in CF? I guess server-side code it wouldn't make much sense. I didn't read the article much... just saw it and thought of this. I'll read it in a fe... read more »
