The Only Enterprise ColdFusion Conference...

Platform: Database, Tuning & Security Track

Deploying into Large Scale ColdFusion Environments - Michael Collins (Adobe)

In this session we will look at all aspects around deploying ColdFusion in a large scale environment. We will look at building a corporate level ColdFusion EAR where you can have projects share features like alerts, and security settings. We will look at ways to use shared network storage when deploying projects and also cover items like sourceless deployment, precompiled deployment, important XML files you need to be aware of, and also cover some production performance settings.

Caching and Persistence for Performance - Michael Dinowitz

Any high traffic website has to find ways of alleviating the strain of that traffic. This strain is compounded by search engines who would love nothing more than to index your entire 500,000 content page site every day. The solution: Cache what you can in RAM and persist content that has to be processed for display.

If you do this right, you will not go down -- at least not due to traffic. If you do this wrong, then you haven't been to this presentation.

Clustering and Distributing ColdFusion Applications - Mike Brunt

As ColdFusion is pulled ever more-so into large Enterprise infrastructures clustering becomes an ever increasing point of consideration for ColdFusion development. The other item which will almost certainly come into the mix is the growing virtualization of server environments using products such as VM-Ware. When we add to this the J2EE (Java EE) capabilities for multiple instances of ColdFusion, the clustering paradigm and planning for that at the inception of application design becomes an imperative. This presentation will cover what items of consideration whichh need to be taken account of as we create ColdFusion applications that can be efficiently scaled in Enterprise level clustered-distributed environments.

Hidden Gems in the CF8 Server Monitor - Charlie Arehart

Ok, so maybe you've started working with the CF8 Server Monitor or perhaps seen some demos of, but are sure you really know all that it can do for you? In this talk, veteran CFML developer Charlie Arehart will explore and expose some surprising observations about the CF8 Server Monitor. There are lots of nooks and crannies with info that may surprise you, including features you may have missed, or that are more useful than you thought. We'll also explore such questions as, do you need to worry about using it in production? The answer is, not always. One of many surprises uncovered in this talk.

Application and Database Security - Daryl Banttari

Security's weakest link in many Web systems is not the firewall or the server, but the application itself. Learn about common attacks against Web applications and how to defend against them. Focus will be on SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and securing Web services (and Flash Remoting). Don't let your application be tomorrow's headline!

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) - John Mason

If you deal with E-commerce or any activity that handles and/or stores credit card information, you will not want to miss this presentation that will review the latest in PCI standards. These are the security standards that Visa, Mastercard and most of the major credit cards have laid out for their merchants to follow. As developers you need to know and understand PCI in order to make certain your applications are complaint. Noncompliance can result in PCI audits, fines and/or removal of the merchant account.
