The Central Florida Web Developers User Group presents a Free ColdFusion, ColdFusion Builder and ColdBox Framework Crash Training – Bring Your Own Laptop Lab on Saturday, May 8th 2010 at 10:00 AM.

Join the Central Florida Web Developers User Group in a day of free training covering the building of a enterprise-quality application using ColdFusion (CFML/CFScript), ColdFusion Builder, mySQL and the ColdBox Framework.

A brief agenda:
Participants will build a maintainable, scalable and elegant application using ColdFusion, ColdFusion Builder, mySQL and the ColdBox Framework. Specific items include:

• Install and integrate ColdFusion, mySQL, ColdFusion Builder and ColdBox Framework.
  
• Use ColdFusion Builder and other Eclipse plug-ins to improve focus and productivity and learn some tips and tricks for the IDE and plug-ins.
  
• Gain an understanding of a Model-View-Controller MVC pattern.
  
• Learn and use the ColdBox framework and understand it’s organization and the powerful ColdBox toolkit.
  
• Build an object-oriented model-layer using design patterns (such as the decorator pattern) to improve code re-usability and code quality.
  
• Integrate the model-layer with the framework’s event handlers and interceptors and
  
• Integrate Ajax calls into the framework.
  
• Easily manage and organize all the assets required to make a quality application including batching and minifying JavaScript and CSS. Also, learn how to eaisly include only the JavaScript and CSS required for a specific request.
  
• Much more. We are a dynamic group and the conversation and topic will shift to cover the needs and questions of those who attend.
  

What you will need:

• A laptop capable of running applications such as ColdFusion, mySQL and ColdFusion Builder.
  
• The desire to learn. We want to cover a lot of ground.
  
• The ability to eat pizza for lunch, drink soda or water and have fun.
