*** THIS MONTH'S MAIN TOPIC *** cfObjects is a framework for implementing inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation with CFML. The framework uses advanced ColdFusion features such as exception handling, collections, and the request scope to satisfy many of the requirements. Today, Steve Brownlee will be going over the basics of cfObjects and how it can help your development team reduce project life cycle, reuse code, have almost limitless scalability and power with cfObject's new features. *** LOCATION POLL *** Needless to say, attendance at the meetings has significantly dropped since we stopped meeting at marchFIRST. We have an offer from another company at the Omega Building to host the meetings. I would like to know if meeting up there again would be more attractive to everyone. Please respond to Steve at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and let me know if meeting in Robinson Township at the Omega Building on Rt. 60 is more convenient for everyone. *** MEETING LOCATION *** Meeting are held the second Wednesday of every month @ WestLake Internet Training center. WestLake is located in the Frick Building on Grant Street in downtown Pittsburgh.
