Here are details of my submitted topics:


Head First i18N (Internationalization)

This presentation will explain the first steps of creating multi-language applications and methods in ColdFusion with best practices. The main goals will be explaining the structure of multi-language applications, defining requirements and solutions, and providing best practices with code samples.

Explaining the theory for i18N (internationalization), L10N (localization), g11N (globalization) and other known approaches, defining opportunities to create effective solutions such as Java platform tools usage or designing better database or setting up your environment to make multilingual applications easier to write are some of the topics.

Hands-on: Creating our first i18N (Internationalization) Application

This session is designed to create a basic application which has i18N capability with static, dynamic content and database and other platform integration. Every possible integration points such as database, XML or web services etc. will be included in the application with samples.

Designed for 3 hours session and needs to have a laptop with ColdFusion installation and one of the database engines of MySQL or MSSQL.


Multi Lingual (i18N) Flex & AIR Applications

This presentation will explain the theory of creating multi-language applications and methods in Flex & AIR with best practices. Main goals of this presentation are explaining multi-language applications theory, defining requirements and solutions, and providing best practices with code samples.


The Power of Refactoring

During this session, we will get into the power of refactoring. Why? How? And why it is actually saving time instead of wasting time.  Examples will be provided from a legacy code and ways to refactor with modern software techniques and architecture.

Designed for mid to senior level ColdFusion developers.


Hidden Secrets of ColdFusion Hosting

Hosting is a part of all our web based activities and deciding on the right company would be a key decision on production environments. Having a reliable service with required hardware/software and environment would be a life saver. Key points such as conditions, support for technology, hotline support, location, fees etc. would be hidden points while deciding a hosting solution. This presentation will cover defining better hosting requirements and steps of evaluating hosting services based on a well formed check list. All possible hosting solutions such as shared, dedicated/virtual server or managed hosting will be covered.


Sourceless Code Deployment

This presentation will explain "Sourceless Code Deployment" which is a new feature that comes with ColdFusion MX 7 & 8. It also focuses on confusion about sourceless deployment and J2EE deployment (EAR or WAR) or which version of ColdFusion we need to do which task. There will also be some examples of different scenarios in the presentation.

 
The Power of MySQL

MySQL has become the world's most popular open source database because of its consistent fast performance, high reliability and ease of use*.  *This is why the big players such as Flickr selected MySQL would be a good case in point. Not only is MySQL the world's most popular open source database, it is even easier to use with ColdFusion 8 because of native support. This presentation will cover the benefits of using MySQL as a database platform and showing possibilities and key points of ease of usage.  Troubleshooting in ColdFusion 7 and old versions and correct usage of new ColdFusion 8 drivers and hidden gems will be also included. Presentation will also provide real time performance tests with MySQL and other database solutions with ColdFusion.

 
Building Scalable Web Applications with ColdFusion

This presentation will explain the importance of the architecturing software and steps for considering future of the applications. Both software and hardware systems of any application needs to be designed in a proper way to handle unexpected load or number of records in the database and possible problems and solutions to address these issues. Designed for mid to senior level ColdFusion developers.

 
Building Social Web Applications

As a person who works for a company which has more than 20 different social web applications with ColdFusion, I would like to share our experiences. Beside ColdFusion, this presentation will give some sample cases which can be utilized related technologies such as BlazeDS, CoComo or search engines APIs which are designed for social web solutions.

 
Geolocation with ColdFusion

What's the killer app of the web? It might just be geolocation, a service that opens up tons of new business and service opportunities. Plus, the visual rock. See the cutting edge in mapping from the entrepreneurs leading the way with ColdFusion.

The Power of 64 bit

64 bit platforms are everywhere now and it is time to utilize them in our business. ColdFusion also has 64 bit support and benefits are promising and needs to be considered when especially performance is an issue. And not only ColdFusion, 64 bit OS and database solutions would be also important for a healthy platform. Scale up!


ColdFusion Server Security

While talking about secure ColdFusion code, we should also consider security on the server side. This presentation will focus on the server side security problems with possible scenarios including security on the related platforms such as database and web servers.
