Getting closure on Closures by Mark Mandel

It seems like all the cool kids are getting on the Closure bandwagon
these days. ColdFusion is no exception with Closures coming to
ColdFusion 10 in the near future, but what is the hype all about?

Are closures really the programming nirvana that we've all been
looking for, a well marketed snake oil of fancy programmatic syntax,
or something in between?

We'll look at exactly what Closures are, and how the can help you out
with your day to day programming tasks, as well as other real world
examples that will help show off the power of closures for those more
tricky problems.

Mark Mandel is a full time consultant and lead developer on several
open source projects, most notably ColdSpring, JavaLoader, Transfer
ORM and ColdDoc and has been has been working with ColdFusion for a
number of years, including at his very own dot com back in the late
90's.

Mark can often be found blogging at www.compoundtheory.com, which has
housed his thoughts on ColdFusion, Java and various aspects of
software development for several years. He can also be found as a
regular poster on ColdFusion mailing lists, causing havoc in the
#coldfusion channel on Dalnet irc network and podcasting on www.2ddu.com.

When he's not too busy writing open source software and consulting he
enjoys spending his extra time training martial arts in a wide variety
of disciplines and reading way too much fantasy literature.

Hi folks, sorry I've been MIA in recent months. I'm on a bit of a journey, searching for my own 'closure' of sorts :) 

Can't make it tonight but I hope to be back in action for the next months meet up. 

Cheers. 

[Mark Mandel]

No worries.

How is the puppy doing?

The 12 year old puppy is doing okay. He's having good days and bad days. It's a long recovery (3+ weeks) so early days yet, but he appears to be adjusting well. 

Thanks again. 

(And for those reading and thinking WTF, I had to amputate my dogs leg. Don't worry it wasn't a DIY job, hehe) 

[Mark Mandel]

I just had a mental picture of you all Dexter dressed up with a hack saw....

Glad to hear he's doing well. Dog's tend to adjust pretty quick from what I understand :D
