2003-09-18 Thread Ryan Hartwich
Coming next Wednesday, September 24th at 6pm... Hal Helms
(www.halhelms.com)! 

Hal will be discussing ColdFusion CFCs and Mach-II (www.mach-ii.com) with
possibly a touch of object oriented design and Fusebox (www.fusebox.org)
(since they are intrinsically related).

Mach-II is a web-application framework focused on easing software
development and maintenance.   CFCs are ColdFusion Components and are a way
of coding functions/methods in ColdFusion MX.

Hal Helms and Ben Edwards created and train programmers in the Mach-II
web-application framework.  Both will be in attendance at our meeting (Ben
recently moved back to KC, and Hal is in town for other business purposes).

Location: Centriq University, 7950 College Boulevard, Overland Park, KS
66210.   Maps available on our website at www.kcfusion.org

Time: Arrive by 6pm, presentation 6-7, QA for 15 minutes or so. 

Directions to Centriq: Exit I-435 at Metcalf, go south on Metcalf to College
Boulevard. Turn right (west) and go 1/2 mile to Lamar. Turn right (north) on
Lamar and turn left immediately at 110th street. Go 100 feet and turn left
into the parking lot. Park in back of the 'Mid-America Spine' building and
come in the student entrance. 

Dinner:  We will adjourn the meeting about 7:15 and depart for Chipolte
(www.chipotle.com) for a casual dinner and networking.  Chipotle - Corp
Woods, 9900 College Blvd, 913-469-6620.  Chipolte is about 1 mile west of
Centriq, across the street from the Doubletree Hotel.  Chipolte serves large
burritos  tacos, Coke  beer.

Can you better describe the audience that would most
benefit?  Would a absolute newbie or someone who was
thinking of using CF really benefit?   Would hard core CF
programmers benefit?

[KCFusion] Target audience - next CF meeting

2003-09-18 Thread hartwichr

 Can you better describe the audience that would most benefit?
 Would an absolute newbie or someone who was thinking of using CF really benefit?
 Would hard core CF programmers benefit? 

CFCs are not very difficult to use, but are probably considered for intermediate level 
CF programmers.  Mach-II had its foundations in Fusebox, which is pretty easy to 
understand, with or without direct CF knowledge IF you understood programming concepts 
already.  Mach-II I believe mimics object oriented behavior in ColdFusion (which is 
NOT an object oriented language) and hence is probably an advanced topic.

A newbie with no CF experience will be lost from the coding point of view, but might 
appreciate the concepts behind object oriented programming and modular/reusable coding 
methods.

Most likely this meeting is for intermediate+ level users who are creating projects 
from scratch (large or small).  It is next to impossible to convert an existing CF 
website into a true Mach-II or Fusebox site without doing a complete rewrite and hence 
people who continually enhance existing sites may not have an opportunity to use the 
framework.

For those of you new to the list and new to ColdFusion, I can put on an intro to CF 
meeting for either this user group, or more likely the MMUG sometime in the next few 
months if there is a demand.

I'm just beyond here is a web server and here is how you install it.
I'm currently working through CFWACK and just reached Chapter
15 where I'm going to start building my own application to see how
much I remember of Chapters 1-14!
