In preparation for his talk at BFlex, Aaron demonstrates how to install BlazeDS and integration it with an existing ColdFusion 8 server.

f you would like to know how to migrate an existing procedurally programmed application into an object oriented one, grab a chair and sit for a while. We'll discuss some sensible guidelines designed to help you make incremental changes towards OO nirvana. We'll also look at lots of code samples, we all like code samples, right?

This session will discuss ColdFusion Components with the understanding that you already know the syntax, but need some help/direction in how best to use Components.

The secret ingredient to modular and maintainable OO applications in ColdFusion is the ColdSpring framework. Efficient and practical use of ColdSpring is easy. In this source code based presentation, we'll cover installation, Dependency Injection, Factories, Configuration, Dynamic Properties, Complex DI Strategies and also look at practical usage inside of production applications.

A feature overview of release 1.0 and 1.1 of Transfer, covering such features as: * Composite Keys * Transactions * Cascading operations * Transfer Object Proxies * Cache Monitor * ... and more Samples can be downloaded from: http://docs.transfer-orm.com/wiki/Presentation_Recordings.cfm

Steve Bryant introduces his free DataMgr component set. This tool helps with common database interactions, reducing redundant work. Unlike ORM solutions, it does not enforce a certain programming approach.

A recording of the August 2008 meeting of the Atlanta ColdFusion User Group. Document-driven Applications with ColdFusion & PDF Using Adobe ColdFusion 8 and PDF you can do much more than just create portable documents--you can manipulate PDFs in a wide variety of ways from extracting and merging to searching metadata and creating thumbnails. By using with Adobe ColdFusion 8 and PDF forms, you can take application forms offline, plus pre-populate the forms with data and process the submission of those forms. Using PDF and Adobe ColdFusion 8's ability to print from the server, you have access to a whole new world of opportunities: automated printing of things like pick slips and reports and even server-side faxing.

John Farrar presenting an introduction to jQuery, and using it with ColdFusion.

When developing an Object Oriented web based application, it is normal to have a database with relational tables and a series of objects that represent that data. Often, the amount of time and effort it takes to manually map these objects back and forth from a database is large, and can be very costly. Object Relational Mappers (ORM) were developed to cut down the amount of time this process takes, and automate the translation between a relational database and an Object Oriented system. Transfer ORM's main focus is to automate the repetitive tasks of creating the SQL and custom CFCs that are often required when developing a ColdFusion application. Through a central configuration file Transfer knows how to generate objects, and how to manage them and their relationships back to the database. This presentation will outline the basics of what an Object Relational Mapper is, the use case for using one within web application development, as well as taking a code centric, step by step view of how to install, configure and use the basic functionality of Transfer ORM
