Unfortunately, Railo could not make it for our November ACFUG meeting
tonight.
Fortunately, the incomparable Charlie Arehart has really stepped up and
volunteered to speak to us about Derby and ColdFusion-911, two topics he
will be covering at Adobe Max this year.
Please RSVP at www.acfug.org so we can have an idea of how many to expect.
Also, we may be utilizing the Echo-Eleven entrance as opposed to the
FusionLink entrance.
I know this change is last minute, but I'm still looking forward to it and
hope to see as many of you there as possible. We are a fortunate group to
have a speaker like Charlie Arehart available with these topics.
If you can't make Max this year, tonight will at least give you slice of
what it has to offer.

Topics
*Using Apache Derby, the Open Source Database Embedded in ColdFusion 8*
Come get an early look at Charlie Arehart's Max talk, "Using Apache Derby,
the Open Source Database Embedded in ColdFusion 8". In it, you'll learn
about the Apache Derby database included in ColdFusion 8. A full-featured
database with a ten-year heritage, Apache Derby is fully transactional, easy
to use, and standards based and has the advanced features you'd expect in
any quality DBMS. Yet it's small, at only 2MB. In this session, you'll find
out how to use Apache Derby within ColdFusion, as well as about tools that
work with it and where to learn more.
*CF911: Tools and Techniques for Troubleshooting*
Are you having problem with unresponsive servers or poorly performing
applications? It doesn't need to be such a hassle. In this talk, veteran CF
troubleshooter and user group speaker Charlie Arehart will discuss various
tools and techniques to consider when faced with a troublesome CFML server
(many apply to CF, Railo, or BD/OpenBD). While some tend to dig into code
and to focus on improving code performance, or focus on JVM tweaks,
Charlie's experience helping hundreds of shops over the years is that often
the problems come down configuration, installation, and administration
issues. Rather than take random stabs at trying many different "fixes" often
found on the web, he helps people focus first on gathering the diagnostics
needed to identify the nature and magnitude (and repeatability) of a
problem, using tools and techniques (and logs) that come pre-installed or
can be easily obtained either free or at low cost. When you know where (and
how) to look at problems, their solution often becomes much more apparent.
He likes to show how CF doesn't need to be regarded as a black box, and why
you don't need to rely on the question "is it up?" as a measure of the
stability of your server.
