From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Tonights Meeting Change UpdateDate: Wed, 5 Nov 2008 13:40:08 -0500 Well, you’re too kind, Cheyenne. But thanks. Folks, if you didn’t notice, he included the descriptions at the bottom of his email. I should clarify, too, that the Derby talk is an official Max talk (one of 2 I’m doing), while the CF911 talk on the other hand is one of a few talks I’m doing at the “Unconference” (http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/page.cfm/ColdFusion-Unconference), which is an informal sub-conference that Adobe has arranged and that Ray Camden is hosting. As for the comment about “entering via the EchoEleven entrance” tonight, if you didn’t know, it’s literally just on the opposite side of the building, so as you approach that last building, don’t go behind it. Instead, park in front of it. As soon as you walk up the half-flight of steps, turn right and it’s the first door you reach. Hope folks will come out. Even if you don’t think you’d care about Derby, it’s still a very interesting topic given that it’s a database built into CF (literally). As for the CF911 talk, if you’ve to deal with problems with your CF server, hopefully you’ll learn things from myself and others to help with such challenges. /charlie From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cheyenne ThrockmortonSent: Wednesday, November 05, 2008 1:13 PMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [ACFUG Discuss] Tonights Meeting Change Update 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.Cheyenne [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.
