Object Think is a technique for object modeling applications. It is the foundation for designing applications using S.A.M., a methodology that Simon adopted largely from the techniques taught in Streamlined Object Modeling and "purist" theories on OOP. Object Think is, in Simon's own words, "the most important skill that a software architect could have at their disposal". Its goal is to demystify design patterns and lead to better software design by teaching architects how to think and by making common sense out of architectural best practices.

Sorry for the delay folks. We tried to hurry through our procedures to get the sound recordings up and as we all know, it is better to do things efficiently. Thanks for everyone's patience. Elliott will be back from vacation next week and will work hard on getting everyone those presos. For now you can download the powerpoint if you login and go to the topics page on the cfunited.com website. -Liz

With Flex 2.0 Data Services, developers can create applications with features previously unavailable using any other web technologies. In this session, you will see some of these possibilities and learn specifically how ColdFusion integrates with Flex Enterprise Services and why it is a great choice as a backend for Flex Data Services enabled applications. Previous experience with ColdFusion/Flex applications will be helpful, but not essential.

I am interested in your thoughts on the future of web development. I will be speaking about my thoughts on this at the CFUNITED keynote 8am Wednesday. If you get a chance before then please complete the survey at http://cfunited.com/go/survey

If you don't have time before then don't worry I will give out the URL at the keynote and you can give your feedback during the week.

(Also if you don't know your answer to some of the questions right now that is ok - fill out the ones you do know now and you can come back and take the survey again a second time to fill out the other answers later.)

I will mention some common themes from what attendees think both on Wednesday morning and as more comments come in during the week. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with the group!

In this 20-30 minute session, Patrick Quinn will preview his one-hour class on Application Server Analytics (ASA), an evolving niche in Web-based software development. It consists of a combination of tools and methodologies for real-time monitoring and troubleshooting of Web sites and applications. The goal of ASA is to improve performance and stability (and thus uptime) for Web applications by helping developers and systems administrators "see" application server internals much more clearly, and also by allowing for much easier use of ASA metrics to fix and even prevent problems..
