Markdown Overview The purpose of this post is to go over some of the basic logic that I am using when I blog with Markdown. Some things will be explained, but I will try to keep it short and leave the details for other posts.
General Formatting There is a few flavors to use and with each flavor there is usually some room for variance. Such as using ** or __ (two astericks or two underscores) to say that the word is bold.
What is Front-Matter? Tommy, Jason, and Yaml - Front-Matter Languages? Ok, its not really “Tommy” and “Jason”.
Atom Packages Everyone is going to have a different style of how they want to do things. This is my style and let me try to justify it.

Writing with Markdown and Atom - Images This pertains to general writing, blogging, and documentation and other such things. I am nostly focusing on documentation and blogging, which overflows into general writing. In Atom.io there are many markdown plugins and I have been going through them to see which ones I like the best and which ones I don’t like and which ones I find useful and what I don’t. You can find more reviews, ideas, suggestions, tips, tricks and ramblings about this in this in this category here.
Objective The objective of this is just to try to get the data from a config file for the database connection.
The situation is where one would have a C# executable on a server that would be executed by the webpage.
The security standards are that we don’t want the connection string in the SVN/GIT repository at all (besides these “test” ones that are dummy).
That also includes having the connection string in the code that will be in the repository (SVN/GIT).

Why Learn Markdown? That is a great question.
Consider this a “Part 1” to a mulit-part blog, as there is several answers and questions I want to address.
I started to commit myself to learning Markdown in general and using it. Mostly, I wanted to learn it for note taking. I know everyone has their own methods and their own thing regarding notes. My reason is mostly because of personal habits, so let me digress here for a moment.
Objective This situation is becoming more and more common as people do more and more commerce online. I have a customer who wants ensure that their customers (online) have scrolled to the bottom of a document to make sure that their customers have read the terms, policy, contract, agreement or whatever it might be.
Depending on the requirements, this can be handled differently. We have all seen them on pages, and we even see this now when signing up for something.
CFQuery SerializeJSON() and the structure returned So this might not be the best programming at all, but recently I had a task, like many others. I needed to get data from the DB using ColdFusion and put it directly into a JavaScript plugin. The JavaScript plugin is a chart and graph one that the company bought years ago and no one has used until now.
This specific library is looking for pure data and then it will make the charts and such.
Nested JSON Results Digging through JSON objects to get what we need. Revisit some bad code written from a previous post. This is a bit of a rebuild or rebuttle from a previous post about the funny thing with ColdFusion. I know in that post some of what I did was bad programming. Most of that in the name of pushing it to the server and for the sake of the example and illustrating the parts of ColdFusion.
Hello Aaron -
Thank you for the post it was something great to look into and to see. I have a different method that worked for me and my group, that was similar to your first example and something that “we” on 5/17/2016 had asked about. I adjusted the table that I had to have a “uniqueidentifier” as a field and then to have a calculated column based on that field to give me a 10 digit ID, which would be 9.
