"Building Web Services with CFML"
****** and ******
"Deploying CFML on .NET: Yes...*ON* the .NET Framework"
The first is a topic of utmost importance to ColdFusion and just about every other programmer nowadays: Web services. Web services is the structured transfer of information over the Internet in a standardized manner, allowing people using any language to make use of the same service without worry of getting a different result. Even if you're not using ColdFusion MX, you should certainly know what web services are and how they are used.
The second topic is even more interesting, as it is totally revolutionary:
"Deploying CFML on .NET: Yes...*ON* the .NET Framework"
This feature, currently available only on BlueDragon, allows ColdFusion code to be written in standard ColdFusion, and then run on the .NET framework.
When? Tomorrow (Tuesday) night, June 8, 2004, 6:30 PM
Where? NYU Medical Center, 550 1st Avenue, Coles 101
You'll find more details on this exciting meeting below. New Atlanta will also be sponsoring this meeting, so there will be pizza and sodas (and a raffle for some free software) as well.
Please RSVP on our site (http://www.nycfug.org) if you're coming so we can include you in our order for refreshments.
"Building Web Services with CFML"
CFML has to be one of the easiest languages with which to create and consume Web Services. Both CFMX, and now BlueDragon 6.1, allow you to easily extend CFC methods to publish them as web services, and it's just as easy to consume them as well. You don't need to understand much to get started. In this introduction to the topic, veteran CFUG speaker Charlie Arehart will show how easy it is, explaining why they're useful, showing the basics you need to know about CFCs, and discussing important issues like security and exception handling. More and more vendors, organizations, and developers are
taking advantage of Web Services. Don't be left behind!
"Deploying CFML on .NET: Yes...*ON* the .NET Framework"
Many by now know that both ColdFusion MX and BlueDragon 6.1 permit you to deploy CFML on a J2EE server. This is important for shops moving to standards-based architectures, for whom running ColdFusion (or even BlueDragon) servers is no longer acceptable. But what if your shop (or a client) is moving to .NET? Macromedia's only current solution is web
services integration, but with BlueDragon/.NET it's possible to run the CFML on the .NET framework. It's still just CFML, redeployed. The opportunities for integration with native .NET component (ASP.NET and more) are tremendous.
In this talk, veteran CFUG speaker Charlie Arehart, CTO of New Atlanta (makers of BlueDragon) will explain the environment motivating this need, as well as the enterprise integration possibilities it enables. Even if you don't see a need to support .NET, you likely will. For folks with large investments in CFML and CFML developers, it's a unique solution that helps keep CFML alive and thriving. It might even win over projects otherwise slated for ASP.NET!
