Hello fellow CF members,
In response to Matt & Mark early posting for some
ideas & suggestions so that the CF website and
listserve can better serve our fellow CF members at
large, I have posted some input below, so please feel
free to post your feedback with regards to my ideas &
suggestions.
joe cervenka
1. Have the coldfusionpro newsletter, free
news-letter, is emailed 2 to 3 times an week, emailed
to the groups listsever. Since this newsletter covers
specific and general relative tropics on CF
pro-gramming, this would at least keep the group
updated on current trends as well as saving time and
money attending those expenise seminars. Also this
would be an great way for the members at large to post
this input with regards to that day's tropic.
2. For posting of job openig, some sig's use an self
posting page for performing such tasks. The results
can be viewed on the groups website page, or continue
posting by cut & pasting on the current listsever.
3. For posting of upcoming expos, events, seminars
again some sig's are use self posting page for
per-forming such tasks. General net/web, security,
pro-gramming are the most reality tropics that are
covered at these various events, or continue postings
by cut & paste on the current listserver.
4. They reason I am bring up postings of expos,
events, seminars is that some sig's are able to offer
group discounts to members by using an special
assigned code for that particular event, that is
inputed during the online or onsite registration
process. The group discount is usualy provided may the
vendors who are hosting and exhibiting at that event.
5. I wish to address several related issues that I
see developing within the programming community at
large affecting various programming tasks;
a. Job opportunites at various events, several
vendors post notices wanting experienced programmers
at these type of events.
b. Secondary programming language skills, in
essence you have some basic understanding of an
secondary programming language such an c(+), PHP,
java, pearl, asp.net so that you can interface your
project with the main programming language. This trend
is mainly aimed at small to medium companies or
bus-iness at this time.
c. Dual interface projects developments, in
essence you may be developing your project primarly
for website usage, but allowing for interacting with
software, wireless, on-demand products and services,
seems to be the coming market trends.
d. Outsourcing various programming jobs, at this
time is mainly targeting to medium to large companies
or business at this time. At some of the events, this
tropic is well disucssed, and debated.
e. Search engine & redesigning websites are
cur-rently the main tropics of discussions at
programming events. Please bear this one fact in mind,
when you redeisgn your website for what ever reason,
in essence you are reprogramming its orginial
programming. Weather to meat ADA standards, affect
page ranking, etc. you will have to redesign and
reprogram your website.
