ABOUT THIS SESSION:

Our noon (US EDT) talk on Thursday June 25 will be Matt Woodward speaking on "The Best of Both Worlds: Java Backends with CFML Frontends".

TOPIC DESCRIPTION:

We frequently hear that "CFML is Java," but in reality from the language perspective, Java and CFML are different beasts and have different strengths and weaknesses. Luckily because CFML runs on top of Java, it's actually quite easy to get the best of both worlds when building web applications. In this session we'll explore some of the reasons for using Java as the backend for your CFML applications, how CFML and Java communicate with one another, dig into a sample application, and see how easy it is to deploy these hybrid applications to any Java application server.

SPEAKER:

Matt Woodward is Principal IT Specialist with the Office of the Sergeant at Arms, United States Senate. Matt is a Java and CFML developer, frequent speaker, blogger, and author, and contributor to numerous open source projects in the CFML community. Matt is the community manager and a contributing developer to the Mach-II framework, and is a member of the steering committee for Open BlueDragon, a GPL CFML engine.
