Dear UK CFUG Member! This is to remind you about this Thursday's UK CFUG Meeting. There will be four ColdFusion sessions covering Fusebox, Security, Integrating Flash and Shockwave with ColdFusion and IIF and DE functions. See below for more details. We will also be running the first of many promotions on Allaire training courses. For those who come to the meeting and book a course that night you can get a discount on any Allaire training course run by TECH Connect. See below for more details. For those that remember to bring their business cards with them you will have the opportunity to win some Allaire goodies, including t-shirts, Allaire Developer Conference 2000 mousepads and posters!! The meeting is on Thursday 24th August at Cyberia Cafe, London. Doors will open at 6pm and the meeting will commence at 7pm. For details on address and directions to the venue see below. The UK CFUG website (http://www.cfug.co.uk) is back up after the transfer to our new hosting facility. Please make sure you register for the meeting so we can fit you all in! For those coming further afield the IBIS @ Euston (which is only two stops away from the meeting venue on the Northern Line) has rooms for �69.95 for a twin room. I spoke to them yesterday and they still had rooms available. Their number is (020) 7388-7777. On the agenda will be: Fusebox - The Basics ==================== Stephen Moretti of the Northern ColdFusion User Group will be giving an introduction to Fusebox, the structure of Fusebox applications, file naming conventions, the use of CF_FORMURL2Attributes and the FuseAction variable. He will also be available to answer any questions you may have about Fusebox. Security within ColdFusion ========================== Jamie Easterman will try and unravel some of the security aspects within ColdFusion and implications that you should be aware of when hosting a CF driven website. Intergrating Flash 4 and Shockwave 7 with ColdFusion ========================================== Jamie le Notre will be discussing and demonstrating how to best integrate Flash 4 and Shockwave 7 into your ColdFusion applications, to make them a purely multimedia experience!! He will show how to use ActionScript variables to post to ColdFusion and then use ColdFusion to write files that Flash can pick up. With Shockwave he'll be using GetNetText and GetNetThing to achieve a very similar result. Using IIF and DE functions to build better applications ======================================================= Russ Michaels will be covering usage of IIF and DE functions to create single dynamic insert/edit data entry forms, general dynamic page/form element generation and dynamic queries. Through the use of IIF and DE it is possible to produce far more flexible, readable, editable and dynamic code in a shorter time, and the many uses for these functions make it a worth while conversion to this new coding convention. Allaire Training Promotion ========================== To begin promotions that we will be running at subsequent UK ColdFusion User Group meetings TECH Connect will be giving a discount on all their Allaire training courses to all CFUG members who book that evening. To find more information on this promotion and subsequent promotions please come along to the CFUG meeting.

Other UK CFUG News ================== We are delighted to announce that thanks to the kind banner sponsors on the site we have been able to move our servers to Telehouse in Docklands. The main reason for this is the planned launch of our FREE developer hosting service (more details to come shortly). We have also spent some time on the site with a complete new look and functionality. We plan to add to these on an ongoing basis to provide a complete one stop shop. If you have not re-registered on the site please do so ASAP! Due to the demand from the members of the group we are going to be moving to a monthly based meeting, along with a monthly social outing. More news to follow on this at the next meeting. If any one of you would like to help out with the forums, links database or news on the UK CFUG site we would very much like to hear from you.
