ColdFusion Developers Network

Announcing a new Meetup for The Online ColdFusion Meetup!

What: “The Value (or not) of Social Media and How to Respond to Your Client who wants it”, with Mark Phillips

Our 12pm (US ET) talk on Thursday June 2 will be “The Value (or not) of Social Media and How to Respond to Your Client who wants it”, with Mark Phillips. 

TOPIC DESCRIPTION: (provided by the speaker)

This talk introduces a conceptual framework for deciding the value of social media and applications of that framework to help decide which social media tools  and software components will be effective.  It draws on research on user adoption  and behavioral economics to present a decision making framework that is robust and has predictive value.

It looks at the relationship between social networking, privacy,  permission boundaries and user adoption.  We will discuss specific social media  components that audience members would include in their toolset.  Finally, a way to  think about social media that doesn’t rely on hype.

Announcing a new Meetup for The Online ColdFusion Meetup!

What: “One DAO to Rule Them All…!!”, with Wes Byrd

Our 6pm (US ET) talk on Thursday June 2 will be “One DAO to Rule Them All…!!”, with Wes Byrd.

TOPIC DESCRIPTION: (provided by the speaker)

The DADAO is a single CFC that will act as a Data Access Object (DAO) to any table in your database offering one place to Create, Read, Update and Delete (CRUD) data from any table. Never create another DAO again! Never maintain your DAO’s again! Never write SQL in your code again! It changes when your database changes. It supports any database type (that ColdFusion will access via a configured datasource).

In this session, we will see some real world examples of this handy tool in action and have some general discussion on Data Access Objects in general.
