Vince Bonfanti - The Road Ahead for CFML and for .NET: Cool Tricks Today
and Tomorrow
What's in store as you move your CFML to .NET? What amazing
possibilities are enabled, both now and
into the future as CFML, BlueDragon, .NET, and related Windows
components all continue to evolve? In
this session, we look at the road ahead and give some insights (and
demonstrations) of just some of
the many possibilities enabled by the marriage of CFML and .NET.
Starting with some cool things you
can do today to solve important problems, we'll then move to a sneak
peak at some even cooler things
coming down the road with .NET and related components including as much
on Vista, Atlas, Windows
Presentation Foundation, Avalon, Indigo, XMAP, and other new
technologies as time and timing will allow

Michael Dinowitz - Advanced RegEx
The session is an examination of advanced techniques when using Regular
Expressions in ColdFusion.
Regular Expressions are the most powerful ways to find (and replace)
text data. This topic covers
the advanced techniques and deals heavily in usable examples of the
technology in action.
Thanks CFUNITED attendee Christian Ready for making the podcasts!

* Interview with Nicholas Tunney on "Introduction to Object Oriented
Programming with CF"
Michael Smith: This time we are talking with Nicholas Tunney about his
CFUNITED-07
talk "Introduction to Object Oriented Programming with CF". So why
should a developer come to your
session Nicholas?
Nicholas Tunney: Well Michael, there certainly has been a lot of buzz
going on around the ColdFusion
community regarding Object Oriented Programming (OOP). One thing I have
noticed within our
community is that many developers who have learned ColdFusion have no
background in other languages.
While this is one of the benefits of ColdFusion, it seems as though
there has become a disconnect
lately between developers who are programming procedurally, versus
developers who are programming
using OO techniques. This class is meant to teach current ColdFusion
programmers what OOP is, why
we would want to apply these concepts to our ColdFusion code and how we
can begin creating objects
using ColdFusion.
MS: How would you say this "disconnect" is affecting procedural programmers?
NT: As ColdFusion has become more and more robust and refined, we have
been given some cool new
tools for our programming toolbox. One of these new tools came out in
ColdFusion MX6, ColdFusion
Components (CFCs). Even procedural programmers have been taking
advantage of CFCs as containers for
all sorts of logic, including a repository for queries and common
functions. While this does
promote code reusability and maintainability, it does not unleash the
power given to us when
ColdFusion began to run on top of Java. To write truly scalable,
maintainable, reusable code a
developer needs to begin looking at design patterns and methodologies
available to OO programmers.
Also, with the dearth of MVC frameworks available to ColdFusion
developers, procedural coders are
really pushing several helpful tools outside of their programming
"sandbox" by not adopting OO
techniques.
MS: So what will attendees take away from your presentation?
NT: Well, I have created this presentation so that it is really broken
down into two sections. The
first section will teach the attendees some basic principles of object
oriented programming. They
will learn important concepts such as encapsulation and polymorphism, as
well as how a basic class
is created conceptually. The first section will also delve briefly into
composition and
inheritance, two concepts imperative to OOP. The second section of this
session takes these
principles and applies them directly to ColdFusion. Attendees will be
able to leave the session
with the power to create a class using ColdFusion components, as well as
how to instantiate that
class and create objects in their ColdFusion applications.
MS: Encapsulation, polymorphism, instantiation... these sound like
difficult things to learn. Will
attendees really be able to grasp these concepts in an hour long session?
NT: Absolutely, Michael. This session is designed for procedural
programmers who have little to no
background in an OO language. We will take each OO principle step by
step, and combined with real
world examples, they really become quite easy to comprehend.
MS: Excellent. I certainly look forward to your presentation
"Introduction to Object Oriented
Programming in ColdFusion". See you at CF-United 07!

Introduction to Object Oriented Programming with CF
*************************
The presentation will focus on applying Object Oriented concepts to
ColdFusion MX applications. The
presentation is broken up into two sections. During the first section,
attendees will learn what
Object Oriented programming is, and why we want to use object oriented
programming. The second
section focuses on applying the techniques learned in part 1 to
ColdFusion development. This section
will include a sample application detailing the differences between
procedural and Object Oriented
design. Attendees will learn concepts such as encapsulation,
polymorphism, inheritance and
composition. They will also be able to instantiate objects and persist
objects in a data persistence
layer.
