ABOUT THIS SESSION:

Our 6pm (US ET) talk on Thursday Jan 7 will be "Learning the Basics of the ColdFusion on Wheels Framework", with Chris Peters. (We had been scheduled to have another speaker at noon who has had to postpone, so this will be the only talk for the day.)

TOPIC DESCRIPTION: (provided by the speaker)

Chris Peters demonstrates how to build a simple CRUD (create, read, update, delete) application using the ColdFusion on Wheels framework. By the end of the hour, you'll have a solid understanding of what it's like to build applications rapidly with Wheels. Surely, you'll be ready to give the framework a look on your own time!

SPEAKER: (provided by the speaker)

Chris Peters has been developing CFML applications since the Macromedia ColdFusion MX days. He has implemented mission-critical applications in education, government, and business settings and has found no other technology to be as rapid and practical as CFML. Currently, Chris is the biggest fan of the ColdFusion on Wheels MVC framework and is using it to build an open source portal system called Administrivia.

RECORDING: As always, the meeting will be recorded, and the recording URL will be posted after the meeting at http://recordings.col....
