This was a sneak preview of several features in CFMX 7 during the early prerelease cycle, presented at the Fusebox 2004 conference.

Not to be confused with the similarly named "Enterprise Integration with ColdFusion" talk from CFUnited of the same year, this presentation looks at different patterns of enterprise application integration and shows how ColdFusion can help. It covers some EAI design patterns, compares and contrasts different types of integration, and provides a number of important caveats / gotches that need to be addressed when dealing with remote systems.

This is an introduction to Mach-II from 2004's "CFUnited" that also covers Macromedia's internal use of the framework on macromedia.com.

See how ColdFusion use has grown within Macromedia and how it was used as an enterprise-level integration layer. Not the same as the similarly named "ColdFusion Enterprise Integration" talk from MAX 2005!

This is an updated version of my "Comparing Application Frameworks" presentation that now covers ColdBox as well as updated versions of Mach-II, Model-Glue and Fusebox.

We're starting to see a lot of interest in event-driven programming because Flex demands it, AJAX uses it to some extent and some popular application frameworks use this approach (ColdBox, Mach-II, Model-Glue). This talks looks at expanding this technique to other aspects of ColdFusion programming. If Flex looks alien to you, this talk should let you get your head around the techniques in a familiar environment, helping you get ready for Flex. This is the original version from Scotch on the Rocks 2008. An updated version was given at MAX 2008.

ColdFuision is a dynamic scripting language. You've probably heard that over and over again but you may not realize just how much power that gives you over languages like Java. This presentation takes a whirlwind tour of several advanced techniques that are only possible in a dynamic language. The only place this presentation has ever been given is Scotch 2008 where it was met with complete and utter bewilderment!

Subtitled: Building services with ColdSpring and Transfer. This presentation looks at my experiences creating a Service Oriented Architecture for the Adobe Hosted Services team (the Software as a Service group behind Kuler, Share and so on). The presentation introduces SOA concepts, how they map to ColdFusion, what changes when you write remote APIs for non-ColdFusion clients, what worked and what didn't. Originally given at cf.Objective() 2007 I believe.
