ABOUT THIS SESSION:

Our noon (US EDT) talk on Thursday June 18 will be Mike Brunt speaking on "ColdFusion Uptime, All The Time".

TOPIC DESCRIPTION:

In "ColdFusion Uptime, All The Time", we'll discuss the key concepts and practices that form the foundation for high availability ColdFusion systems. We'll discuss what we call the "performance and stability stack", which is the combination of hardware and software (in particular ColdFusion) that makes up a high-performing, highly-available Web application. We'll also go into some depth on the data tier, which is typically the main dependency for ColdFusion applications. The concepts presented here are drawn from Webapper's years of real-world field-work assisting clients with in building high-performing, highly-available implementation.

SPEAKER:

Mike Brunt is Co-Founder and CTO Emeritus of Webapper. His career in computing spans over 25 years. Working at British Leyland in England in the late 1970's, he was one of a team responsible for implementing dedicated terminal systems, allowing inventory control and direct order submittal to Leyland distributors. In the early 1990's, Mike became involved in the early development of Tele-Radiology in the U.S. Working alongside Kodak Digital Imaging, Lucent Technology and GTE (Verizon), Mike was the Chief Architect responsible for developing distributed SAN-WAN systems for the remote reading of diagnostic radiology images (quite literally life-critical systems). Mike's experience with Adobe technologies dates back to 1995 and version 1.54 of ColdFusion (he still has tech support emails from Jeremy Allaire himself!), and Mike has developed large-scale Web applications with every version of ColdFusion since. In 2000, he was recruited by Allaire Corporation to join an elite team of Web application specialists. On leaving Macromedia in 2001, Mike co-founded Webapper, and held the CTO role from 2001 to 2006, directing all of Webapper's technology initiatives in that period. In 2006, Mike stepped down as co-owner and CTO in order to return to the role at Webapper he loves the most—providing software solutions the Webapper Way as a senior Web application engineer.
