ColdFusion User Group - New Zealand

We've all heard the buzz about CF9's ORM integration, but exactly what
is it, and how can I use it? This session will demystify the idea of
ORM by introducing the concepts that you need to know to get started
using it right away. Not an object oriented developer? No problem! As
long as you know what an object is, and a little bit about cfcs, this
session will help you get past the buzzwords and be productive with
ORM on your next project.

Thanks everyone that came along tonight!

We had a good night of having a drink, nibbles and talking about diving, holidays, sailing...

and ColdFusion of course!

Things like:

• Should you output content from a CFC?
• How can you auto-document you custom tag libs?
• Why can't you set up a "Cfimport" at application level so you don't need to do it on a template-by-template basis?
• Railo in production
• CFBuilder, and it's features
• Will you be able to get introspection on Components from an object factory?
• Will there be a manifest.xml for CF custom tags in CFBuilder?
• Is calling a CFC like a custom tag *actually* useful?
•  ...and many more

These are some of the topics discussed, and I'm sure we came up with the *right* answers, but didn't write them down sorry!

See you next month @ APN with a presentation on Mura.

Hi Everyone,

Next Thurs we are planning a CF_Drinks.
