Posted by Ricardo in ColdFusion, MeetUp, Seminars, Training | No Comments

Announcing a new Meetup for The Online ColdFusion Meetup!

Our 6pm (US ET) talk on Thursday Aug 26 will be “Use Your Web Skills to Create Native Mobile Apps”, with Fred Anderson.

TOPIC DESCRIPTION: (provided by the speaker)

Open source application development platforms have changed the development game. By utilizing web technologies like Javascript, HTML, and CSS, you can build applications for iPhone, Android and Blackberry all from a single code base. And best of all – you can utilize the native capabilities of the phone, so you don’t sacrifice anything in the user experience.

Appcelerator’s Titanium platform translates developers’ hard won web skills into native mobile applications that perform and look just like they were written in Objective-C [iPhone] or Java [Android]¦ but using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS skills. With over 300 APIs, a thriving developer community, and the support you need, developers can build native mobile applications that are more social, local, media rich, interactive, and extensible. Download Titanium for free at www.appcelerator.com.

ColdFusion MeetUp: Installing Multiple Versions of ColdFusion Together

Aug 23

Posted by Ricardo in ColdFusion, MeetUp, Seminars, Training | No Comments

Announcing a new Meetup for The Online ColdFusion Meetup!

Our 12pm (US ET) talk on Thursday Aug 26 will be “Installing Multiple Versions of ColdFusion Together”, with Daria Norris.

TOPIC DESCRIPTION: (provided by the speaker)

I will show how you can set up your development environment to use CF9 & CF8 (or even CF6 or 7) at the same time using ColdFusion’s multi-server configuration option. This can be useful when you have several projects that have different code level requirements, or just to play with new features before you can develop your production apps with them. I will also talk about managing the services that CF installs to get the most performance out of your development environment.

ColdFusion MeetUp: GIT for Dummies and the slightly more enlightened, with Tim Cunningham

Aug 16

Posted by Ricardo in ColdFusion, MeetUp, Seminars, Training | 1 Comment

Announcing a new session for The Online ColdFusion Meetup!

Our 12pm (US ET) talk on Thursday Aug 19 will be “GIT for Dummies and the slightly more enlightened”, with Tim Cunningham.

TOPIC DESCRIPTION: (provided by the speaker)

Git seems to be the cool kid on the block these days. How does it differ from SVN? What is the big deal about it being distributed? What type of development flow does it work well with? How does it work with CF_Eclipse and CFBuilder? And did they know it was slang in British English for “idiot” when they named it?

The talk is oriented to people who know nothing about Source Control and particularly nothing about GIT, proposing why GIT is superior to other version control systems, teaching attenders how to install it, create repositories, clone repositories, merge, branch, fork, maybe some rebasing, as well as using the eGIT Gui tools in CFBuilder. Finally I will suggest some possible work flows.

DURATION: Approx. 1 hour
Meeting will be recorded. URL will be posted after meeting at http://recordings.coldfusionmeetup.com
