CFUnited Presentations are coming, I swear..

For those of you that attended my session, my presentations are coming, I swear! I just found out that my recorded preso did not have any audio so I'm planning on recording another one soon and I'll be sure to add some of the stuff that we didn't have time to cover during the preso.

If you have any questions or comments or anything else you'd like to see, please feel free to post on this entry and I'll get back to you soon.

Cheers...

As promised, here are the slides and code examples for my CF.Objective() 2008 presentation. Feel free to post any comments or questions and I'll get to them asap.

As I mentioned after the presentation, I'm also going to be putting together an intermediate version of this talk covering more complex patterns. Also, I have been told that CF.Objective() 2009 will be tentatively scheduled for May 6-9. So now you have plenty of time to begin schmoozing your bosses to let you go. I have to say that this is THE conference for learning the high level skills needed to build enterprise level applications in ColdFusion.


Here's the link to download the presentation and code examples:

ColdFusion Security Fix

Just want to pass on the word that Adobe has released a security advisory yesterday for ColdFusion 7 and 8. This resolves an identified vulnerability that could potentially allow session hijacking for applications utilizing CFID or CFTOKEN. This does not apply to applications using J2EE Session management.

More details and how to get your ColdFusion server updated can be found on this link:

ColdFusion in the News - SDTimes

Glad to see that ColdFusion 8 is getting the publicity it deserves, here are two brief articles that came in the latest SDTimes IT newspaper. While I don't agree with some of the wording, it's still good publicity to our much beloved technology!

ColdFusion 8: First Update in Two Years

From the Editors: Don't Give ColdFusion The Cold Shoulder

ColdFusion Gets Front Page Presence in SDTimes

There's a very nice article on the front page of SD Times Newspaper mentioning the ColdFusion 8 release. I thought it was worth mentioning it here.

I have been a SD Times subscriber for quite sometime now and it's a great resource on the latest in software development tools and technologies. I highly recommend you check it out and for most of us it's free!
