at that time, he was armed with only a bachelors degree in computer science and a solid knowledge of html and general programming. development of a "web based" employment application seemed a somewhat intimidating task. he sat down, scratched his head, and began designing the employment application. several chapters into a perl manual that would make a dictionary seem like interesting reading, he figured there must be a better way to develop this application. as if by magic, a colleague called one afternoon and suggested trying a newly discovered product called (or so he thought at the time) "coolfusion." after borrowing the manuals, steven started to dig deep, looking for that better way.
just a few minutes of reading resulted in actually entering data in an html form and submitting, retrieving and displaying that data through a database connection. while this example is extremely elementary, it was nothing short of a miracle at the time. how could a few minutes of reading and programming replace days of reading a perl manual? within two weeks, an application and associated database tables were designed and developed, allowing potential applicants search and apply for vacant university positions.

we have always thought that one of the best-kept secrets amongst the coldfusion "universe" is its tremendous potential and success within select educational institutions. those that work with or for public educational institutions are very familiar with the staffing and budget issues that often cut resources, making it difficult to provide services to the communities that support them. however, as east carolina university found, all that is needed is a little funding, some talent, and a willingness to learn.
as subscribers to cfdj since the first issue, we have often read many "how-to"s with sections of code and invaluable "tips and tricks". while we couldnt be nearly as productive without these articles, we find it extremely beneficial at times to learn from other implementations and methods used to solve potential challenges. at risk of providing an effective sleep-aid, we would like to attempt to share the experiences of implementing coldfusion at east carolina university, an emerging national research university with enrollment of nearly 22,000 located in greenville, north carolina (www.ecu.edu).
