Simon Free is presenting An Introduction to ColdFusion Builder and Working with CFAAS and Flex and you can watch and learn for free at the CFinNC conference!

An Introduction to ColdFusion Builder

Adobe ColdFusion Builder is the newest ColdFusion IDE to come to the market, and it is designed with the ColdFusion developer in mind. Unlike other IDEs, which only allow developers to write CFML, ColdFusion Builder beta allows developers to connect directly with the ColdFusion server and expand their development experience. ColdFusion Builder beta not only allows for easy management of development and live servers from within the IDE, but also for more robust debugging through built-in validation and debugging services.  In this session we will take a look at all the different features available to developers from setting up projects, setting up servers, creating snippets to creating and using custom extensions.  By the end of the session you will have a decent understanding of the different features available to you and how to use them.

Working with CFAAS and Flex

Have you ever had the problem where you have created a great looking application but you can’t have it send out email because you don’t know a server side scripting language?  Have you ever wanted to have your Flex application generate a PDF and had to resort to using expensive free lance developers?  After this session you will no longer have these problems!  With ColdFusion 9’s introduction of ColdFusion As A Service (CFAAS) you can now access a number of ColdFusions features from Flex, allowing you to send email, generate charts and even generate PDF’s, all without writing a single line of ColdFusion code.  In this session we will look at how to configure CF9 to allow flex access, we will look at how to set up your project and we will look at how to use these new services.
