We appreciate those of you who have taken the time to let us know your opinions and concerns. Any other questions, email [email protected]

Douglas Ward - Fundamentals of Good Usability

Usability is today's competitive advantage. Industry leaders understand this. Google has codified 10 principals that guide its approach to development. Number one is, "Focus on the user, and all else will follow." At Microsoft's 2005 PDC, Bill Gates repeatedly encouraged developers to focus on the user experience. The folks at Macromedia have persistently emphasized creating better RIAs that enhance the user experience. Come to this presentation to learn the basics of usability. Learn and apply the fundamentals, and see immediate improvements on the sites you build.

Nicholas Tunney - Variables and Conditions

Variables are at the heart of any CF program, but many people are confused about the different scopes and how they should be used. Learn about CF's data types, scopes and assignment rules. Then take a branch into conditionals. Conditionals let your programs make decisions from simple branching to more complex switch and logical comparisons, so that you can build more complex web applications successfully.
