So come along and hear me talk at 1:30pm on Thursday (6/19) or 8:30am on Saturday (6/21)!
- Getting Dynamic with ColdFusion
- Event-Driven Programming in ColdFusion
The first talk will take a look at all of the amazing things you can do in ColdFusion - because it is dynamic language - that you cannot do in Java. Hopefully, it'll give you some new ideas about how to solve problems faster and more idiomatically in ColdFusion!
We're starting to see a lot of interest in event-driven programming because Flex demands it, AJAX uses it to some extent and some popular application frameworks use this approach (ColdBox, Mach-II, Model-Glue). This talk looks at expanding this technique to other aspects of ColdFusion programming. If Flex looks alien to you, this talk should let you get your head around the techniques in a familiar environment, helping you get ready for Flex.I've also submitted this to Scotch on the Rocks 2008.
I submitted a second topic to CFUNITED 2008 (and Scotch on the Rocks) that covers dynamic programming techniques. I don't know whether that will be accepted for either conference but if it isn't and there's enough interest, I may go ahead and write it up for user groups or online presentation.
Event-Driven Model Framework for ColdFusion. The name? EDM = Event-Driven Model, Mund = mouth (German), Mund = ancestral rule over the family / disciplinary power over members of the family / responsibility to protect the family (Old English). Edmund is also one of my cats :)
This is based on two things (in my opinion - putting on my flame-retardant suit)...
