Code Samples:
It is difficult anticipating what companies are looking for in terms of the code sample, as each company has their own way of doing things. So I have decided on going with proper technique (as in more current) vs bad or old coding technique(with some bugs that shouldn't cause errors such as in the form validation, and not using queryparams etc.').
I will be creating and adding other kinds of code samples going forward, but feel this is a good starting point for code samples.
All samples will function (prodived you add the tables/rows/dsn's' from the queries to a sql,mySQL, of ifx database) locally when/where needed. If you are in contact with me, you can obtain access (login info) to the code sample actually running on the web. Below, you can click and test via this site, there is little style or design as this is code / functionality.. please refer to my portfolios for design related inquery.
Technique:
One thing that many will notice, there is no role based work in the bad sample, not utilizing roles for users in a web based application is part of the "bad" technique(in terms of security and modularization of the app).
DownLoad Samples(in .rar packaging format):
Sample of good Coding Technique
Sample of bad Coding Technique - functional, but also left a couple little bugs (form validation does not function properly for example) if you care to look for them in this one.... many are identifieable via comments that I slapped in there especially in queries.
Please Note: I did not style this at all, being a code sample I am under the assumption your interest is CFML code/techniques
Run Functional Sample functionality for this sample: add/edit/remove user, log in / log out

Ajax (Asynchronous JavaSript And Xml) is a great way to change small sets of data on a page asynchronously so the page itself doesn't have to refresh and the update is performed quickly, making it act and or appear to act more like a desktop application.
In fact, using AJAX, CSS3, and HTML5 you can pretty well mimic a desktop application such as ms excel, add ColdFusion to the mix and your mimicing excels functionality as well.
These techhnologies make the future of the web and endless array of ideas, possibilities, and new innovations.
Here is a small sample of AJAX in action (Both AJAX & CFAJAX samples - performing the same functions) with code displayed and explained so as to somewhat be a begginning of tutorials to come:
Functional Examples(try it out):

Functional Examples(try it out):
AJAX:
Results will appear here, notice page does not refresh so nothing else has to load or is updated....
How It's Done:
Create a form(within the html body tags), in this case with a "SELECT" list. Te form needs no name, action, or method attributes as the ajax call will be fired off on javascript event.
the form code (Note: I am using coldfusion to query a database and loop over the results to populate the selesct's options and their values):
The form's "select" element uses the "onChange" event to call the javascript function (showPoem()) and provides/sends the selected value to the function.
The javascript should be located in the head of the document... in this case on index.cfm.
the ajax javascript:
creates xmlhttp variable for the request object
checks the string/variable sent from the form's onChange event function call
if the string is empty the result div is not populated (document.getElementById("fullPoem").innerHTML="";)
checks browser and creates the request object accordingly (all current browsers/versions support xmlhttp. IE5 and IE6 do not support xmlhttp though, so use the ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP') for those old browsers instead)
next, xmlhttp.onreadystatechange checks the xmlhttp ready state and status code, if ready state is 4 and status code is 200 it populates the result div with the response from the server
xmlhttp.open calls a file on the server with the code / data for the request
code in CF file called:
xmlhttp.send returns/sends the response from the server file which is then populated in the result div.
results div:

Tip / Trick:
(JavaScript) - add an event to window.onload without overwriting currently assigned onload functions:
creates variable to store/save assigned onLoad functions
if there is no onLoad function, run an onLoad function, otherwise run currently assigned onload functions and another onLoad function.

HTML5:
- a beginning tutorial on the advances and advantages in HTML5, main focus on this tutorial will be one of HTML5's new elements.. the canvas tag:
HTML5 will be the new standard for HTML, XHTML, and the HTML DOM. The previous version of HTML came in 1999. The web has changed a lot since then.
HTML5 is a cooperation between the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG).
WHATWG was working with web forms and applications, and W3C was working with XHTML 2.0. In 2006, they decided to cooperate and create a new version of HTML.
Some rules for HTML5 were established:
New features should be based on HTML, CSS, DOM, and JavaScript
Reduce the need for external plugins (like Flash)
Better error handling
More markup to replace scripting
HTML5 should be device independent
The development process should be visible to the public
Some of the most interesting new features in HTML5:
The canvas element for drawing
The video and audio elements for media playback
Better support for local offline storage
New content specific elements, like article, footer, header, nav, section
New form controls, like calendar, date, time, email, url, search
HTML5 introduces an element called a "canvas" on which we can use JavaScript to draw. This offers a quick and easy approach to drawing dynamic content. The canvas tag is used to display graphics. The canvas tag is only a container for graphics, you must use a script to actually paint graphics.

such as the music industry, writing/poetry & achievements, recordings or my live shows as DJ NugZ, Videos from my DJ NugZ days,
hobbies, & Pictures.
For Professional organizations and prospective clients / employers, there are: code samples(bad vs good to show differences etc.. fully functional when you log into your tab... even the bad sample),
projects in progress(requires permission from client(s) & authentication to actually get in to see the functionalities created), some tabs are not secure like my 20 yr reunion tab & copywritten poetry tab, resume etc.,
HTML5 and CSS3 experimentations with ColdFusion/ajax/sql/JQuery, and much more!!
Please Note: - this is a role based system due to the nature of client security, therefore, once you sign up it can be a maximmun of 24 hrs, if we're communicating already it will be minutes
The role I assign you will determine what content you will see, so that those clients with innovative projects have complete invisibility.
Thank You in advance for understanding, Craig Burlingame

Also available is a couple of my live mix shows as DJ NugZ (my alter-ego), a couple of my tracks from my first album (2003) as well as a couple tracks from my upcoming release (2011 / 2012) and my performance artist biography.
For friends and family there are photos, the soundtrack I put together by request/all requested old songs from our days back then.. for my 20 yr reunion in NY for the Freaks & Geeks (as we came to be known in the high school and early college years).
I have also added a section for code samples(proper vs bad techniques) that I will continously update with new samples as I have time, this is intended to at some point become a place to come and learn for beginning to intermediate web developers.
Soon to come will be an art gallery of my artistic endeavors such as paintings, sketches, photography, sculpture/carving, and artistic graphic design. Also on tap will be saleable products such as a plugable shopping cart, back-end utility suite(suite of tools for managing web based applications and sites) for website owners who do not develop themselves, and many other non-web related products from my other endeavors such as CD's, Dj NugZ / 3Deep apparrel, my book, and more
