If you weren't at the meeting last night, you missed a great one! Clint Tredway showed us the progression of the intranet from ASP application to a Flash-based UI to the most recent version which was done with Macromedia Flex. This was a really great example of how using an RIA can vastly improve the user experience. Thanks for presenting Clint!
Patrick and I then gave an overiew of the new features in CFMX 7 and demoed a sample application that Macromedia developed to show off CFMX 7. It's an online banking application called "Experience Bank" and it illustrates how you can provide your users with a better experience using CFMX 7. The application included examples of Flash Forms, XForms, using the new ColdFusion Report Builder, cfdocument, and the exciting possibilities of the new SMS mobile phone text messaging gateway. I'm still waiting to hear from Macromedia if I can distribute the code for this, so I'll let you know if I can. Next month is shaping up to be all about CSS and how it can make your life easier, but if someone would like to present a bit more in-depth on one of the new features in CFMX 7 just let me know. I'd like to have at least one session per meeting on a new feature of CFMX 7 until we hit all the big ones. Or, if you have an application you've built or cool stuff you're working on and want to show it off, let me know! It doesn't have to be a full-blown presentation--we just like to see what our CFUG members are working on, and it gives you a chance to get feedback as well.
