Our second talk on Thursday, August 21 will feature Dan Wilson, presenting "Fun With ColdSpring". Some may recognize Dan as the speaker who was supposed to present June 12 on "Refactoring In Coldfusion - From Procedural to OO". We had technical difficulties and do plan on repeating that talk soon, but Dan is set to give this ColdSpring talk at an upcoming CF event (http://bflex.info/...) and wanted a chance to present it first.
PLEASE NOTE THE CORRECTION TO THE TIME. DAN is at 6pm, RAY is at noon.
Description: (provided by the speaker)
The secret ingredient to modular and maintainable OO applications in ColdFusion is the ColdSpring framework. Efficient and practical use of ColdSpring is easy. In this source code based presentation, we'll cover installation, Dependency Injection, Factories, Configuration, Dynamic Properties, Complex DI Strategies and also look at practical usage inside of production applications.
Speaker: (provided by the speaker)

Looking for a Podcast or other Download of Recordings?
We will attempt to make this meeting available as a downloadable recording, which will be listed on the recordings page within a few days of the meeting.
LOGGING IN: When you login to the Connect room (the experts.acrobat.com/cfmeetup link above) to view the meeting, PLEASE USE THE "LOGIN AS GUEST" option, and USE YOUR NAME, but do NOT attempt to use your meetup.com username/password. The login screen presented there has no connection to meetup.com. And if you have a real Connect account, don't use that either. Just sign in as a guest. It's just not worthwhile try to add those who have real accounts to the participant list for each meeting. You have no fewer features as a guest as than you would if logging in with your own Connect account. Thanks.
RSVP, but only if coming: We appreciate folks RSVPing if they plan to come (using the link on this email or at the meetup site), though it's not mandatory and it's not a commitment. BTW, no need to RSVP if you can't make it nor even explain why you can't. With nearly 1,500 members, there's really no reason to explain your absence. :-)
Feedback/discussion of each meeting: We'll appreciate your sharing your feedback after the meeting (also offered via a follow-up email or via a link on the site). Meetup.com now also offers a meeting-specific discussion area, available on each meeting event page, in addition to the feedback feature. Please feel free to have discussions there about the meeting's topic.
Add this to your calendar: If you would like to easily add this event to your own personal calendar, please note that the page for the event offers a link (on the right) saying, "Add this meeting to your calendar", which offers links to get calendar downloads for Outlook, iCal, Google, and Yahoo calendars.
“ Great Preso Dan Wilson is a welcome speaker. ”
“ In the initial part of the session i had some difficulty following Dan but things cleared up and I was following ok ... My appreciation was also affected by not having a "Full Screen" button to click on, despite asking in the chat window for the button in the chat window.. This wouldn't have made so much difference if Dan hadn't been show pages full of code, which appeared very small.. Whilst I thought the earlier Meetup, about CFCs, was well done .. this only gets a neutral rating ”
Fred Anderson (+4 guests)“ if you search Urban Dictionary for "The Sh*t", after the first example the usage should say "Dan Wilson's presentation titled 'Fun with ColdSpring' was The Sh*t" The majority of the presentation was based on working Code. Dan took the time to create examples that demonstrated concepts in succession. Which, as he taught us, is one of the core benefits of ColdSpring. Thank you Dan. ”
