Effective CF Development I (One Day Seminar)

Do you feel fully effective as a developer? Are you leveraging all the features available to make development in CF easier and more productive? Those who leverage all these techniques are capable of dramatically increased speed of development. Their code is better tested, can be better managed, and even performs better. Perhaps you know the tools are there, but you've felt that nothing explains how they work (and work together).

In this seminar, we'll tie together several topics not covered in most other ColdFusion training courses, revealing tips, techniques, and hidden gems that make for more effective development.

Sharing practical, real-world experiences and the benefit of observing the development practices of many, we'll demonstrate that ColdFusion developers can be much more effective than they typically are, having learned on their own. Many CF features remain untapped, even if they've read books and articles on ColdFusion, taken other classes, and even read the CF manuals cover to cover (if you knew there were manuals and had access to them). Some things are not well documented, if at all. We'll uncover these and lots more in an information-packed day!

Partial List of Topics:

Understanding Locking Issues: it's more than just about shared variable scopes
Testing your code with the CFMLSyntaxCheck tool, "Full Lock Checking", and more
Understanding caching opportunities: p-code, CFCACHE, CFSAVECONTENT, cached queries
Toward better error handling: at the site-, application-, template-, and code-levels
Maximizing use of Studio for turbo-charged development
Creating Next-N interfaces to allow users to scroll forward/backward in result sets
Encoding code so that it can't easily be read when sharing it (with a caveat)
And several other features and tools, including third-party code-generation tools
Dozens of available CF resources to peruse yourself and learn still more

Cost: $219 per person at public classes; $2199 for an on-site presentation
