1. cf.Objective() 2008: From Procedural to OO - Dan Wilson
Posted At : May 3, 2008 8:44 AM
One of the keywords here is "pragmatism". I know from personal, continuing experience that it can be a daunting proposition to move an application from procedural to OO.
Things you would want to consider when refactoring are in-house skill-sets, a...

I'm at cf.Objective() 2008, sitting in the conference room waiting for the keynote to start. Last years cf.Objective() was a great conference! I see no reason this year will be different. :-)

Wow! I'm home from cf.Objective() 2007.
That is one fantastic conference. If you can't get your fix of enterprise level topics and valuable networking there, then I don't know what's wrong with you.
The sessions were great. Here is a handy link...

6. cf.Objective() Kelly Brown: JVM/ColdFusion Performance Tuning
Posted At : May 5, 2007 3:40 PM
I attended Kelly's session.
However, I am going to leave my notes from the session un-published. I'm sorry, but this topic is so loaded and unique to each companies situation (one of the points he made). I'm afraid someone would change some setti...

8. cf.Objective() Adam Lehman: Scorpio Server Monitoring
Posted At : May 5, 2007 8:27 AM
This to me is one of the best features in CF (8?).
With the tracking turned on it collects a sick amount of metrics. You can see requests. You can see all the memory scopes. You can drill down into the scopes.
There is a page for looking at Cum...
9. cf.Objective() Daryl Banttari: Database Performance Tuning
Posted At : May 5, 2007 7:09 AM
In many CF apps databases are choke points.
Without indexes, SQL Server will do a full table scan (finishing even after it finds your record).
Clustered Index actually becomes the table. So, on one-to-many tables, you would create a Clustered I...

Mark Drew is presenting on CFEclipse. He's the lead developer for the CFEclipse project.

12. cf.Objective() Hal Helms: Object Oriented Modeling
Posted At : May 4, 2007 9:36 AM
This is a heady session.
Hal says a big mistake OO developers have is thinking about "attributes" of objects instead of their "responsibilities".
He says be careful of collections of unrelated functions "masquerading" as Objects.
Domain Mode...

I'm planning/hoping to summarize the sessions whi...
