http://www.philduba.com/index.cfm This blog covers my adventures in web application development centering on Adobe's ColdFusion and Flex technologies with tangents into Adobe AIR, ASP.NET, PHP and Java. My goal as a web developer is to try and understand the aforementioned web-related technologies to a level in which I can build a fully functional system. This blog will track my progress, show the things I have learned, and what I may be currently working on. en-us Fri, 12 Mar 2010 23:09:06 -0500 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 20:36:00 -0500 BlogCFC http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss blog@philduba.com blog@philduba.com http://www.philduba.com/index.cfm/2010/3/4/MangoBlogOracle-Integration I know this is an extremely long time in coming but over the course of the past 18 months since I last posted an entry, I've had the birth of my first child and all the work that went into preparing and then obviously caring for her once born.
