Next meeting: October 17, 6:30 pm Most of you know who Sean Corfield is: Creator of FW/1, versions of Fusebox, and many other open source projects. US President of Railo, and former core developer of ColdFusion for Macromedia/Adobe. These days he's helping World Singles scale their many websites to millions of hits per day, and a tool he's using to do this is Clojure.
Clojure is a functional language that runs atop Java, just like ColdFusion. And of course it can integrate into your ColdFusion application, giving you the best of both worlds: ease of development and super performance. Sean will be discussing the scaling challenges he's address with World Singles, as well as show us Clojure and integrating into CF. Sean gets a lot of requests to present to CFUGs, and ours was one of the few he accepted. (He'll be presenting remotely from San Francisco) Please make Sean feel welcome by RSVPing for this meeting at www.houcfug.org, where you can find additional information and directions. Paladin will be providing food and drink, as they continue their generous sponsorship of our group.
