Afternoon all, Please excuse the slightly OT message.....
Its just a quick reminder that tonight (Thursday 4th October) is the 4th Northern CFUG meeting at The University of York. The meeting will start at 7.30pm as usual and will go on until drinking time (9.30), and is going to be in the Vanburgh College building, room V123 (Vanburgh, Floor 1, Room 23). Maps of York and the university are available at http://www.york.ac.uk/np/maps/ The venue can hold 50 people and there are 20 places left, so lets see if we can fill it! Speakers for the meeting are: + Miles Dawborne from Macromedia Europe Ltd. who will be talking about CF5 and its new features. Macromedia has recently released version 5 of ColdFusion, which provides dramatically improved performance, user-defined functions, powerful charts, graphs and reports, custom performance monitors and much more. This technical, hands-on presentation will focus on these new features of the software and demonstrate how they can help you be even more productive in building, deploying and maintaining your Web applications. + Carl Burn from evolutionB (uk) Ltd. (http://www.evolutionb.com/) will be introducing UML, how model CF applications using UML and fUseML. Carl will cover UML at a basic level. Beginning with why we need UML plus how it actually came into being and the advent of the OMG. He will give a brief introduction the basic components of UML and cover links to Cold Fusion through FuseML. Carl will also give references to materials available on the web and tools for use when creating models. + Alistair Davidson from Rocom New Media (http://www.rocomx.com/) will be giving us an Introduction to Extended Fusebox. Extended Fusebox (XFB) is a structured approach to the whole lifecycle of a CF project from requirements gathering through architecture and coding to deployment - designed to ensure that the code is elegant, robust and well-documented, and the clients get what they REALLY want. This talk will cover key concepts of XFB including: Wireframes, DevNotes & Prototypes - eliminate the dreaded phrase "that's brilliant - but it's not quite what I want..." by finding out what clients really need before you start coding. Fusedocs v2 (XML format) - Fusedocs provide a standard way of documenting code that can (and should) be completed before a single line of code is written. Nested Circuits and XFAs - drag-and-drop circuits & even entire applications to create powerful large-scale apps using nested circuits & XFAs. The registration form is available on the website in the meeting section. Many thanks to the University of York for hosting this meeting for us. As always without the host sponsors these meeting would not be possible and we appreciate their help Cheers Stephen Manager Northern UK ColdFusion User Group - http://www.cfug.org.uk/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
