People helping people: sharing knowledge, solving problems, giving away code, pointing to resources, making recommendations, and so much more. Yet as powerful as that network of resources is, it's easy to presume, \"well everyone knows where to turn for help\". In fact, a lot of CF developers do work heads down, in their bunker, on their own, just getting their job done. They miss out on these great resources, this great community, and their work suffers for it. Things take longer to solve, when someone may have the answer. They get frustrated with problems that have been solved.\r\n\r\nIn this session, veteran CFer Charlie Arehart will highlight many of the most important--and some little known--places to turn for help. An inveterate \"resource librarian\" himself, Charlie is known for being able to point quickly to where in the CF community a solution may exist. He's benefited from those resources over the years, and he's also paid it forward by creating more of his own. Come find out just how many resources may exist that you've not known about. Whether you're new or experienced in CF,there's a suitable resource for you. You're never alone.","id":459.0}],"name":"General Session","id":40.0},{"topics":[{"speakers":[],"name":"BOF Session","description":"BOF Sessions","id":444.0},{"speakers":[{"name":"Charlie Arehart","id":902.0}],"name":"BOF: CF911 - Server Troubleshooting","description":"Do you have to deal with CF server problems--whether as a developer or an admin, responsible for your own or your organization's server(s)?

This session will begin with an overview of the basics of both of these features, followed by an in-depth discussion of various ways that each can be customized in order to refine the generated code and further automate the code generation process. Attendees are encouraged to participate in the demonstrations, learning to get their feet wet with a hands-on exploration of Model-Glue's code generation capabilities.","id":416.0},{"speakers":[{"name":"Bob Silverberg","id":853.0}],"name":"Automagic Validations for ColdFusion Objects","description":"Are you confused about where to put the validation logic in your object oriented application? Are you tired of writing one set of validations for the server side and another set for the client side? Are you looking for a way to encapsulate your validation logic, so your business objects do not have to change each time your validation rules change? If you answered yes to any of those questions, then this is the session for you. In this session you will learn about an open source project that delivers all of the above, and is easy to integrate into any project. You define your business rules in a simple XML file and the framework will automagically perform all of your server side validations and generate all of your client side validations. What's more, the framework is flexible and extensible enough to allow you to define an unlimited number of custom validation types and messages, all without touching any of the framework's or your own code. You'll leave the session with an understanding of what the framework can do for you, as well as how to implement it into a new or existing application. This framework is meant to be used in an application that makes use of objects. This would include ones that use Transfer, Reactor, hand-coded beans\/DAOs, and, of course, ColdFusion 9's ORM.","id":384.0},{"speakers":[{"name":"Luis Majano","id":913.0}],"name":"ColdBox Platform 3.0.0: Sustainable ColdFusion Applications","description":"ColdBox is an event-driven conventions based ColdFusion Framework.
