New cf.Objective () 2008 Pre-Conference Workshops!

Building Object-Oriented Applications in ColdFusion
April 30 - May 1, 2008
Crowne Plaza Hotel, St. Paul, MN

Team Mach-II^TM is offering new pre-conference workshops that help developers learn how to apply
object-oriented programming fundamentals by using the Mach-II framework. Participants may choose
one of the following workshop options:

• 2-Day Workshop (April 30 - May 1)For developers who want to enhance their knowledge about
  object-oriented programming and learn how to build applications with Mach-II (total of 14 hours of training time) [Seating is Limited]
• 1-Day Workshop (May 1)For developers who already understand object-oriented programming techniques but want to build better applications with Mach-II (total of 7 hours of training time) [Seating is Limited]
  

The following workshop facilitators, who actually wrote the Mach-II code, not only can explain the fundamental design principles behind Mach-II but can also show developers practical ways to help them get the most out of their ColdFusion applications: Peter J. Farrell, Kurt Wiersma, Matt Woodward.

Objectives of April 30 Workshop - Object-Oriented Programming with Mach-II

• Enhance knowledge about object-oriented (OO) programming.
• Learn CFC best practices.
• Explore common design patterns (e.g., beans, data access objects, services, facades).
• Apply OO concepts and design patterns in ColdFusion constructs.
• Discover how the model-view-controller pattern (MVC) is implemented in Mach-II.
• Understand how applications break into events.

Objectives of May 1 Workshop - Building Enterprise-Level Applications with Mach-II

• Build flexible applications by using filters, plugins, properties, and subroutines.
• Discover the art of using object-orient analysis and design (OOAD).
• Implement ColdSpring into Mach-II applications and modules.
• Build enterprise-level applications by using Mach-II modules, includes, and caching.
  Learn strategies for migrating legacy applications to OO and Mach-II.
• Find out where technologies like AJAX, Flex, ORMs, and web services fit into your applications.
  

Workshop Requirements

• The workshops, which are not an introduction to ColdFusion, were designed for developers who are
  able to build complete procedural applications in ColdFusion.
• Basic knowledge of CFCs is helpful, but not required, for these workshops.
• Participants are expected to bring a laptop/notebook computer with Adobe ColdFusion 7 or 8
  installed. Computers are not available at the workshop location.
