Topics
*jQuery - a new kind of JavaScript Library*
jQuery has become one of the fastest growing JavaScript libraries. It
was introduced in January 2006 at BarCamp NYC by John Resig and is under
MIT / GNU General Public License. Recently, Microsoft and Nokia have
announced plans to bundle jQuery on their platforms. It would only make
sense that Adobe will do the same in the near future. It is a free and
open source library which helps separate the ActionScript based
"behavior" logic from the HTML structure. This makes your code clean and
flexible. Plus, jQuery is a very responsive and cross-browser
compatible. There's simply no reason not to learn how jQuery can make
your life easier and fun. We will introduce what jQuery is and how it
can add some life to your html based forms and pages. How it can work
with ColdFusion and why you should start using it.
*Thor - a new kind of CFC validator*
Form and user data validation can be a real pain. Thor is a upcoming
ColdFusion Component (CFC) based validator which has a number of unique
features which makes data validation easier to manage. Thor is framework
agnostic and can be incorporated into your existing code. There are
several other open source based CFC validators, but Thor has features
which include:
* global validation
* explicit / implicit validation
* specific and general error text
* field name translation
* validator importing
* validator mapping
* logging
We will also be having ACFUG Board Elections for the 2009 year. Email
[email protected] if you would like to run or have any questions about
helping us run ACFUG into its 11th year.
