If you can't name more than 10 new features, you're missing out! For full details and registration see http://www.teratech.com/training/ In this day-long seminar, veteran CF trainer/user group speaker Charlie Arehart will show youin his popular presentation stylenot only what's new but also how to make the most of Release 5. Sharing practical, real-world experiences and his encyclopedic knowledge of ColdFusion 5, Charlie will demonstrate that Release 5 offers much more than most will know, even if they've seen presentations and articles or read the information offered on the Release 5 Overview page at Macromedia's site. And it's one thing to "know" the feature exists, but quite another to see the code to make it work, and learn the gotchas. Youll save yourself days or perhaps weeks of effort and have real working code examples (and walk through setup/use of the nifty new administrative tools). Finally, even if you've read the manuals cover to cover like he has (if you knew there were manuals and had access to them), there are still things that are not well-documented, if at all. Topics: * The "usual suspect" list of most - discussed new features CFFLUSH, CFGRAPH, CFLOG, UDFs, query of queries, CFDUMP, Server Analysis, Verity K2, Crystal Reports 8, ADS, COM,... * Dozens (yes, dozens!) of still more new features * Real uses of all the new features * Details and challenges of using all of the new features * The gotchas (installation issues, bugs, doc, mistakes and more) * Previous release problems now fixed * Features available only in Enterprise, or on some platforms * Topics not covered well in the documentation and release notes * Dozens of available CF 5 resources Sure, there are the usual suspects: - Query of Queries, User Defined Functions, CFGRAPH, CFFLUSH, Verity K2, and more - System Monitoring/Reporting/Logging/Archival features; Performance/memory enhancements But are you aware of the following other new features, to name just a few: - you can now query a datasource without needing a datasource (dsn) defined in the admin - how dsn-less connections have maintain connections on by default, & how to change that - CFSAVECONTENT, CFOBJECTCACHE, the incredibly useful CFDUMP - how CFSAVECONTENT can be used to cache slow, nearly static portions of a page - the new dynamic java class loader for working with java objects - you can validate input with regular expressions within CFFORM - the new updated TagInfusion pack for Studio 4.5.2, holding the tag definitions/help for R5 - you can now add your own templates/applications to the administrator interface - how to use the new Merant Wire protocol drivers, and where to find addl docs within CF - GetHTTPRequestData() for SOAP processing, GetException() for Java processing - CFGRID is enhanced, including drop-down lists, checkboxes, columns that sort on dbl-click - enhanced resource view for advanced security, and the new buttons to flush its cache - a change in licensing allowing use of a single license on multiple OSs (on a single machine) - there are pre-built examples of CFGRAPH, UDF, Query of queries, CFGRID And even among the usual suspects, did you know about the following features, to name several: - the 9 tags that create result sets useful for query of queries, CFGraph, and more - when a query of queries makes sense, and when it doesnt - when user defined functions (UDFs) make sense, and when they dont - public UDF libraries, like CFLib.org with dozens of open source string/math/data/security UDFs - you can setup CFGraphs to support drill-down by clicking on a bar or pie wedge - you can also graph non-query data, passing one more values with CFGRAPHDATA - the 6 tags that you cant use on a page that does CFFLUSH, such as CFLOCATION/CFCOOKIE - Verity K2 Server supports site spidering, searching remote servers, and more - every change to the administrator is now tracked and can be reported/monitored - how to setup both default and custom server probes in the Monitor feature - the purpose of the tools in cfusion\cfam\btauxdir - you can setup probe to monitor a remote server (such as a hosted server) to track any failures - how to setup an email notification process for one, rather than simply all, probes - you can use the archive/deploy feature to serve up packaged applications to remote visitors - archive builds can be scheduled to occur on a scheduled, recurrent basis And were you aware of some of the challenges you may need to solve, including: - what hotfixes you must apply to resolve common problems using certain new features - what easy mistake in using CFGRAPH will crash the graph server - what the install of CF5 will/may do to your existing JRun setup - what critical Siteminder installation issues exist and steps youll need to take - how to troubleshoot/tune the graph, report, monitor servers - WHERE clause matching in query of queries is unexpectedly case-sensitive - query of queries date processing doesnt support ODBC dateformat - performance reports are based on samples within interval, not a sum of all occurences in interval And did you know about some things broken previously that are now working, to name just a few: - the duplicate() function now works as expected - an improperly formatted file in mail spool no longer causes all spool files to never be sent - the Disable database connection feature for DSNs in the Admin now works as expected And there are still more topics hell discuss in each area!
