Topic: ColdFusion AJAX Features
A little bit of a change to the previous notice for this months meeting - Ray Camden has made himself available, and will be presenting on all of the new AJAX features in ColdFusion 8.
Ray needs no introduction to the community at large. He has truly earned his "Jedi" status in the ColdFusion world, and has created many open source ColdFusion based projects.
It's amazing we've gone 2 1/2 years without a presentation from Ray, but better late than never! Please come armed with your AJAX questions and we'll see if we can stump him.
There will be lots of goodies, etc, to give away, and dinner will be served, as usual, so please RSVP.
Cheers,
David

Topic: ColdFusion Round Table
It was suggested early in the year that we dedicate some time to the members to discuss and/or present the issues and/or situations they are facing with technology in their businesses. With no external speakers available, we're going to try this suggestion this month.
This is a call to all members to bring a topic to talk about, and there will be an incentive to give a short presentation to the group. Give a 10-15 minute presentation on something ColdFusion/Flex/AIR related and you'll get 5 extra tickets to the software raffle.
"The Software raffle?" I hear you say? Yes, in case you've lost track, amidst all the giveaways we've had this year, the big Adobe software raffle has to take place either this month or next. So, on Tuesday, we'll flip a coin and decide which meeting it will be. The more tickets you have in the box, the better your chances of winning*
I'll update this post with suggestions from the group - so please get back to me with your suggestions. As usual, dinner will be served, please RSVP.
Topic Suggestions so far:
- ColdFusion 8 upgrade - recently performed by the MediFit team.
- First CF supported iPhone web application
Cheers,
David
* NOTE: Eligibility to win the big Adobe prize has been explained at previous meetings - please email me with your questions. Howls of protest will be duly ignored.

Topic: BlazeDS
According to the recent user group survey (the results of which I'll share at the meeting), one of the biggest gaps in our Adobe product knowledge is that of LiveCycle Data Services.
NOTE: The URL for this meeting is http://my.adobe.acrobat.com/r55524223/
Recently Adobe announced the release of BlazeDS which will make open source some key server technologies that are critical to building great applications with Flex and ColdFusion. This presentation will detail exactly what you get in BlazeDS and how it relates to LiveCycle Data Services and details some of the reasons why you might want to use these server technologies with Flex. Tom Jordahl of Adobe has offered to give a presentation on Blaze, what it is and how we can use it.
Will we have software to raffle? Heck Yeah! Ed Sullivan has graciously allowed us to raffle off a copy of either Flex 3 (professional) or ColdFusion 8 (standard) - you must be present to win.
We will be conducting this meeting over Connect, so if you cannot attend, please email me for the URL (domalley at this domain). We will, as ever, be providing pizza, so please RSVP, as I'll need a head count.
David

Topic: Code Reuse with Flex and AIR
Happy New Year to everyone. Before I forget, please click here to take the 2008 CFUGitives Survey. Your opinion will help us get the topics you're interested in.
2007 was a pivotal year in the technology world. Adobe, Google, Microsoft - all released new tools to increase productivity, and add new feature sets. One of the biggest news items in 2007 was the push to the desktop, with new, richer, and still connected applications.
All signs point to more momentum in this area, so we're delighted to be able to start the new year with a presentation on a hot new technology, Adobe AIR. A lot of people, and I'm one of them, don't "get" the desktop paradigm, so it's something we're going to spend some time tackling this year.
In this topic, Jeff will talk about ways to set up your project in order to maximize reuse of your Flex code when you want to deploy both as a web applications and as an AIR application.
Jeff needs no introduction to our group, but we'll do it anyway: He is the owner of Dot-Com-It, and hosts "The Flex Show" podcast. He is the author of many ColdFusion books, and has been a regular presenter at the group.
We'll be serving dinner, as usual, so please RSVP.
Thanks,
David

First of all, thank you, all, for making this a very successful year for the group. We’ve increased membership, attracted some great speakers, and had a great turnout at the Scorpio event. Our November meeting was the last for 2007, so what lies ahead?
2008 is going to be a big year in our technology space. We’re expecting full releases of Flex 3 and AIR, and work has already begun on ColdFusion 9.
How do we top 2008? Well, that begins with getting the right presenters, and the topics that you want to hear. I’m working on a survey that will get your opinions on this, and then I hope to reach out to potential speakers to fill the needs.
Some other goals and ideas I’d like to see us work into our 2008 agenda:
1) A Codejam to aid a local charitable organization
a. Lots to be worked out here
2) Success stories / Show-and-tell
a. Got something to show off? If it’s a pet project or something that made you the hero at work – show it off. Maybe you’ve hit a road block and need some ideas from the group?
3) Spreading the software joy!
a. I’ll be excluding ex-winners of the Adobe software from the big software raffle – sucks to be you, but we need to spread the love a little (hope you understand). You’ll be eligible to win any other software or goodies we have going.
b. When I have the agenda set, I’ll be picking two months when the software will be raffled, but it’ll be a secret – so don’t miss your chance to win big!
c. Merit system for the tickets – bonuses for regular attendance, presenting, bringing new members, etc.
1) Flex
a. $10 for a full day of Flex presentations? Hard to beat that!
b. http://www.flexcampboston.com/ to sign up – there will be lots of prizes given away. Details at the site.
c. There are a few of us signed up already, and our own Jeff Houser will be on the experts’ panel.
d. Possibly, we can car pool? Email me if you are going and we’ll try arrange something.
2) A new ColdFusion Community in town
a. www.ColdFusionCommunity.org
b. I’ve created a group called cf_connecticut – we’re trying to get as many members from the
3) Management update:
a. I’ll still be the manager in 2008, but I’ll need help. Phil Hayes has generously volunteered (you did volunteer, didn’t you?) to be the co-manager, and help me out with the finer details. Still, if you want to help in any way, please let us know!
That’s it for now, looking forward to a successful 2008.

Topic: HostMySite - The ColdFusion 8 Upgrade
How did they do it? From the time that Adobe announced ColdFusion was in Alpha, to final release, HostMySite seemed to be in lock step with Adobe. They were the first to offer free beta accounts on CF8, and the first to offer CF 8 hosting services.
So, what were the technical challenges? How difficult was the transition? Have there been any unexpected road bumps? What about server performance gains - has ColdFusion lived up to the hype? More importantly, what can we learn from their experience?
Matthew Ferrari is the Infrastructure Manager for HostMySite.com and he will be here to answer all our questions.
If you have any specific questions, or a particular area of interest, please forward them ahead of time, so that Matthew can prepare his presentation accordingly.
This is our last meeting of the year, so I hope you can make it. Pizza will be served - please RSVP.

Speaker Bio:
Matthew Ferrari is the Infrastructure Manager for HostMySite.com. He has been with the organization for 5 of its 10 years of existence. When he joined the organization in 2002 we were a little over a dozen employees and are now over 180 in size. We host over 3000 physical servers and have a wide variety of platforms such as windows, linux, virtual machines, etc. Matthew manages a group of about thirty individuals and focus on testing and deployment of new hardware and software technologies for the organization, in addition to managing our escalation team who handles all server down issues.

Topic: MAX 2007 Wrap up
MAX is the premier Adobe event, held annually. This year it was held in Chicago, which Ron Hiner and I attended.
Previously, Ron and I have both attended MacroMedia events, but this is the first Adobe event we attended. We posted some notes on the site about sessions we attended, but we'd like to give a higher level view of what's going on, and update on some new announcements made by Adobe at the conference.
Without a doubt, the landscape is changing - the line between "developers" and "designers" is blurring. How badly would a designer like to take a photoshop comp and create a fully functional Flex app? That's not a pipe dream any more. For the past number of years, tools gave developers the ability to cross over into the designer domain, using programming languages. Now, the pendulum is swinging the other way.
We have some goodies to give away, so don't miss the raffle. Please RSVP so I know how much food to offer.
Cheers,
David
(p.s., Disclaimer: Ron Hiner is "scheduled" to appear!)

Topic: Securing ColdFusion, by Shlomy Gantz
Think you know security? Yeah, well you don't know Shlomy!!!
Securing ColdFusion servers involves more than just setting an administrator password. From OS and HTTP issues to SQL injection attacks to vulnerabilities in installed software and more, there's a lot to lock down and a lot to keep an eye on. It's enough to keep you awake at night!
Thankfully, Shlomy Gantz, President of BlueBrick Inc, has been around the security block a few times and he does know security. He doesn't just talk about security risks, but actually demonstrates the risks and how they are exploited, and offers practical guidance on how to address the risks.
With security issues, and customer data becoming more front and center these days, we hope you'll join us for what will be a very informative presentation.
As usual, dinner will be server, so please RSVP for a headcount.

Topic: ColdFusion all AIR-ed out.
The newest buzz in the technology world is Adobe's Apollo, now named AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime), which allows you to take web based applications and deploy them on the Desktop.
Adobe will tell you it's as easy as a push of the button, that web based HTML, AJAX and Flex apps can be deployed to the desktop, and enhanced to access the computers I/O and hardware devices. But how true is that, and what about application languages like ColdFusion?
Boston based Pier, inc. is at the forefront of of this new cutting edge technology, and will be presenting, in-person, their work with AIR.
Also, Eugene Abitang was just at CFUnited, and returns with a bag full of goodies - we'll raffle everything off. Also, considering the high profile of our guests, we'll also be raffling off some very special Adobe swag. "Will there be Adobe Software for raffle David?" Hmmmm, that sounds like a good idea - we'll just have to see!
Please RSVP, as ever we'll need a head count for Pizza.
Presentation Description:
In this presentation we’ll dirty the marketing patina on Flex RIA development with real stories from the trenches. We’ll take a look at the true cost of UX and the many lessons learned in the process of designing, developing, and deploying applications with ColdFusion, Flex, and Adobe AIR.
We’ll take a brisk walk through the process of converting a traditional HTML application built with ColdFusion into a Flex application that runs in AIR using the same CF backend. In this demonstration, we will discuss CF’s evolving role from that of generating the presentation layer of HTML applications to one more involved in providing data for rich front-ends. This discussion will bring us to some thinking around the further adaptation of CF in the emerging desktop-to-web RIA paradigm.
Presenting will be Johnny Boursiquot, Lead Developer at PIER Inc. (http://www.pierinc.com). Johnny has 10 years of web development experience and has lead the development of many CF and Flex-based projects for companies as large as HP and Honeywell, to those as small as the Washington D.C.-based non-profit, American Council of Trustees and Alumni. His experience in all dimensions of the RIA process makes him an invaluable asset to the PIER team.
Joining him for Q&A will be Todd Cullen, RIA Architect at PIER. Todd has been involved in the ColdFusion community for the better part of six years, working on enterprise CF solutions over the past two years utilizing both Flex and AJAX methodologies. He also enjoys long walks through the DOM and extremely bad jokes.
PIER is a business strategy, interactive design, and technology development consultancy serving changing companies worldwide. Our process consists of distilling our client's most complex challenges into a singular vision, and executing that vision with pioneering design and development solutions. Pier architects complex web-based systems, while hiding that complexity behind intuitive, affecting user interfaces.

June 12th, 6pm There's not doubt about it - there's a renaissance in Web Development these days, and much of the buzz owes to the advances in technology. Leading the charge in this department are AJAX and Adobe Flex. At this meeting, our very own Jeff Houser will introduce Components in Flex, what they are, how and when to use them. This presentation will show you how to take a simple Flex application and modify it to make use of Flex's component creating features. It starts simple and builds up from there.
As ever, we'll need a head count, so please RSVP. Thanks, David. About Jeffry:

Ben Forta introduces Scorpio: ColdFusion MX 8
What a great presentation! Over 2 hours of new ColdFusion goodies, and, apparantly, we didn't cover all the new features that will make it to the production version!
In summary (as if it is possible to do it justice!), Ben said CF 8 will concentrate on 3 major areas:
- Developer Productivity
- Technology Integration
- Administration Enhancements
We all know one of CF's main selling points is the developer productivity, but Adobe found ways to make us more productive! How about these:
- Image manipulation - 50 functions, one tag
- AJAX Support:
Floating windows, tab layouts, data grids, tree's, date pickers and (finally) a rich text editor - each in one line of code! - Support for threads
- A debugger, using Eclipse
- Enhanced security features
There have been big gains on the technology integration front, including:
- .Net integration - calling .Net assemblies, using <cfobject>, this feature also converts .Net data types to native CF datatypes for handling in CF code (example: .Net DataTables -> ColdFusion Queries)
- PDF manipulation, using <cfpdf>
- On demand presentations - create Adobe Connect presentations on the fly - output is a SWF.
- Microsoft Exchange Integration, supporting Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Tasks. How hard is it to connect? Try one line of code!
Not to forget the Administration Enhancements, of course! Ever wondered where the bottlenecks were in your application? What queries are consistently slow? What's the size of a User Session, and just how many people are using your site at any one time? Well, wonder no more! Administrator tools are now available to help. Also, assign security "roles" for the administrator - you can control which login can use what parts of the administrator.
I'd like to thank, once again, Sacred Heart for being such wonderful hosts. The location was great, and the food was...plentyful 
Thanks to Ben Forta for adding us to his travel plans - our group is a little out of the way, and it would have been easy to overlook us.
Finally, a great thank you to everyone that turned out to make this a very successful event. Getting such a great turnout will bolster our chances of getting a return visit from Ben for the CF 9 tour!
Cheers,
David

Topic: Ajax the Microsoft way
Microsoft at an Adobe user group? Truth is, while Adobe and Microsoft compete in certain circles, there are many instances where their technologies overlap. AJAX is one of those.
At this meeting, Peter Laudati will present, in person, new tools from Microsoft to make AJAX development easier, and explain how they can be integrated with ColdFusion.
AJAX is still an emerging technology that has and will continue, to change the way the web works. One of the strengths of AJAX is that it is open, not proprietary. For some, that's also a weakness, as there is no central support for the language. There are many competing frameworks, and approaches to AJAX development, and the technology is still trying to find its feet. One of the major factors in deciding to implement an AJAX solution is deciding of a framework to use.
We're sure Microsoft has something to add to the conversation! We hope you'll join us for what promises to be a very interesting topic.

First of all, I'd like to thank all that attended the January meeting, and to Hal Helms for presenting via Breeze. Hal was quick to remind us of the difficulties associated with presenting in the balmy South Florida weather - we were not amused! Follow this link to see the presentation.
In May of last year, Josh Adams introduced us to New Atlanta's BlueDragon - a ColdFusion server alternative - that can support both CFML and ASP .NET, yes, side-by-side in the same file. For a brief recap on that presentation, follow this link.
I hear you say..."We already HAVE ColdFusion, why should we consider BlueDragon?". Besides allowing you to support CF and ASP in the same environment, New Atlanta competes with Adobe by offering developer features that are not in ColdFusion.
This month New Atlanta will be rolling out BlueDragon 7.0, and Josh Adams will be back to show us all of the new features in this release.
Last year it was a very successful meeting, and we hope to see you here again. There will be prize give away's, last year we had:

Topic: Model-View-Controller in ColdFusion
We all know the power of ColdFusion is in its productivity - it handles the mess of backend functionality simply, whether that be database queries (and resulting datasets), XML, PDF's or WebServices. It is a language that is easy to get started with, but leaves plenty of growth to explore, and implement Object Oriented practices.
In this presentation, Hal Helms will talk about the Model-View-Controller software architecture as it’s used in both the Fusebox and Mach-II frameworks.
The question of whether or not to use frameworks is a contentious one. There are those - I must admit I am one of them - that think frameworks are for developers that don't know how to develop. Those that use them, hoewever, are religiously devoted! Why would you adopt a framework? Does it matter which one you choose?
In this meeting, Hal Helms will argue that we could all be more productive, by using established frameworks, such as Fusebox and Mach-II. For my part, I promised Hal that my mind is opened to being changed.
Pizza, as usual, will be served - please RSVP.

Hal Helms is a well-known writer, trainer, and consultant on software architecture. He is a member of the International Association of Software Architects and has contributed to both the Fusebox and Mach-II frameworks. He can be reached at hal@halhelms.com.

When recently upgrading servers from version 6 to version 7 of ColdFusion, Steve Wood came across a little known tool called "WebCharts3D" - that ships with CF7. With some research, he saw that there was a great opportunity to improve the look and feel of the (lets be honest) boring <cfchart's>
Steve will explain what WebCharts3D is, how to install it and how to use it.
The feedback on the new charts has been immediately and overwhelmingly positive. Can it jazz up your site?

2 Adobe Software Suites
1 New Atlanta Blue Dragon Server Software
1 FlexBuilder 2 (w/ charting) package

T-Shirts (New Atlanta, MacoMedia and Adobe)
Baseball caps
Water Bottles, USB fans, portable USB cell phone chargers, SIM card backup keychains
Mousepads, Travel Optical Mouse (many)
MacroMedia Backpack

Topic: ColdFusion Powered AJAX
Our guest speaker this month is Ian Smith, and he will be joining us, via web cast, from sunny Seattle. Ian is a designer, developer, and the all around nice guy behind the free online goal tracker know as Joe's Goals.
There are two things that you may find interesting about this site:
-
The "even a child could use it" simplicity.
-
The combination of AJAX and ColdFusion (and how it contributes to that simplicity)
By the time we're done with this presentation, it would be great to see what Ian did, how he did it, and why he chose AJAX to do it.
The Connecticut ColdFusion User Group is 1-Year old!
...and we'll have cake to celebrate (along with dinner) - please RSVP.
