cf.Objective() 2008 - Session Change

March 25, 2008 · No Comments

Brian Meloche's session has changed. It is no longer specific to ERP and will now cover more generally applicable enterprise-level integration techniques. The new title and abstract is: ColdFusion as a Different Type of "Glue"
Is ColdFusion really "the glue" that Adobe says it is? We always hear about functions like PDF generation, image manipulation, Outlook integration and all of the new functionality, but is that all that ColdFusion is good for? Is ColdFusion for intranet use only? Can ColdFusion be a different type of glue? This topic will cover using ColdFusion as the front end to an enterprise-level, customer facing application, integrating it with a business object back-end from enterprise-level systems. This will cover what types of things you would need to integrate, levels of integration, ways to integrate, including MQ Series and WebMethods, WSDL vs. REST, direct vs. indirect integration, integrating with external applications, and data replication.
I think this shift in focus will make the session more appealing to a broader audience at the conference so "Thanx!" to Brian for that. If you haven't already registered, bear in mind that the guaranteed hotel room block price expires on April 1st and may go up after that.
