The fully functional LockMonger tag was developed and released to the developer community.  Visit the page, play with it, download it and read its extensively commented code to figure out how it works.

LockMonger will show you how to implement your own record-locking system, so one user can edit a record without worrying about whether other users are doing the same thing at the same time, possibly resulting in data corruption. Unlike database solutions that store a flag in a record LockMonger works by storing information in an application-scoped array, so there is zero chance that two users can collide.

The download includes a test harness which will let you simulate record lock attempts and expirations.  When you're satisfied it really works, just cut out the tag calls from the example app and work them into your own code.  LockMonger even includes a miniature admin app that lets admins manually break locks if they need to do so.

A collection of free to download ColdFusion tutorials that so far covers subjects including the basic uploading of files, skinning your website using ColdFusion/Cookies/CSS and a more advanced ColdFusion Poll. The tutorials are aimed at an audience with beginner to intermediate ColdFusion skills and are written in a way that should be easy for most people to understand. The tutorials are available in PDF format so you can download them and use them in your own time and on any computer. New tutorials to be added on a regular basis.

Speck is an open-source content management framework built as a library of ColdFusion custom tags that is used to build Internet content management systems. It is distributed with an example content management system that provides a set of out-of-the-box content management capabilities. Speck's object-based approach allows a web site that addresses content management requirements to be assembled using pre-built components. In addition, the tag library enables developers to rapidly configure and extend the system to meet specific requirements.

64-bit computing means that the CPU system has a 64-bit microprocessor and a 64-bit data-bus. However, there are instances where a 64-bit CPU system has a 64-bit microprocessor but has a lower-bit data-bus or vice-versa. In this article, a 64-bit CPU system is considered to have a 64-bit microprocessor which can directly address physical memory with a 64-bit address and that it has a 64-bit data-bus.

The key benefits of 64-bit computing are that it can perform high-precision computations faster than 32-bit systems, and that it can directly address huge amount of physical memory.

64-bit microprocessors process 64-bit data in one clock cycle. All the registers associated with the microprocessors are 64-bit. This enables High- precision computations and 64-bit arithmetic to be performed in fewer clock-cycles as compared to 32-bit microprocessors. In certain cases like 64-bit multiplication, it is twice as fast.
