The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference - Malcolm Gladwell

I have really enjoyed reading this book, here is some words that describes what is this book about:
It's a book about change. In particular, it's a book that presents a new way of understanding why change so often happens as quickly and as unexpectedly as it does. For example, why did crime drop so dramatically in New York City in the mid-1990's? How does a novel written by an unknown author end up as national bestseller? Why do teens smoke in greater and greater numbers, when every single person in the country knows that cigarettes kill? Why is word-of-mouth so powerful? What makes TV shows like Sesame Street so good at teaching kids how to read? I think the answer to all those questions is the same. It's that ideas and behavior and messages and products sometimes behave just like outbreaks of infectious disease. They are social epidemics. The Tipping Point is an examination of the social epidemics that surround us.The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference

How to Build RSS 2.0 Feed in Coldfusion 8

In this tutorial I will show some tips on how to create an RSS Feed in coldfusion by querying a Database. This example will demonstrate how to create an RSS Feed for the quote of the day. < cfquery name="qname" datasource="dbsource" maxrows="3"> SELECT PUBDATE,DESCR,FTITLE,LINK FROM wiki.url.rssfeed order by id desc </cfquery> <!--- Note here the query returns only the last three quotes and also it is sorted based on the id which is an auto increment ID.---> <cfscript> myStruct = StructNew(); mystruct.link = "http://blog.abusalah.info"; myStruct.title = "Mustafa Abusalah Quote of the Day"; mystruct.description = "Quote of the Day Tutorial"; mystruct.pubDate = Now(); mystruct.version = "rss_2.0"; <!--- Now the Query columns must be mapped to the RSS columns this is done by creating a struct and mapping them to the struct variables.
