Team Mach-II Offers New Workshops - Take Our Survey

Prior to cf.Objective() 2008 in St. Paul, Minnesota, 40 developers attended two days of workshops facilitated by Team Mach-II (i.e., Peter Farrell, Kurt Wiersma, and Matt Woodward).  The workshops were designed to help developers enhance their knowledge about object-oriented programming and learn how to build enterprise-level applications in Mach-II.

Participants said the following about the Mach-II workshops:

  • "I'm not sure how it could have been presented better."
  • "Absolutely excellent workshop. All of the speakers were wonderful. They knew what they were talking about and were excellent speakers. The organization was wonderful and each session was in digestible chunks that built on the other . . . I will highly recommend this to everyone."
  • "All of you guys are great speakers, and your enthusiasm for and knowledge of the subject matter really makes this interesting. Presentation materials were well-organized and very informative. Thanks for a great workshop – I am going to give Mach-II a try!"
  • "Overall a really good job guys. Congrats. Excellent slides and handouts . . . A solid class. I hope you’ll be delivering it many more times."
  • "Amazing workshop!!! I will highly recommend this to everyone! All three speakers were fantastic and really knew their stuff. And I loved the mixing up the sessions with different speakers to allow us to get different perspectives . . . Thanks very much! I am starting to migrate an application to Mach-II tonight."

Team Mach-II is in the process of redesigning the workshops, which will be offered at certain locations in the United States sometime later this year. Individuals interested in providing input to help improve the workshops and make them available in different parts of the country are invited to complete the Mach-II Workshop Survey.

Individuals completing this survey will be provided a link for downloading Matt Woodward's 13-page document entitled, "ColdFusion Components (CFCs): A Primer." ColdFusion Components (CFCs) serve as the basis for object-oriented programming (OOP) in CFML. Since Mach-II is an OO-based framework, it is crucial to understand CFCs to be able to use Mach-II successfully.  This primer was created to give developers some background and history of the CFML language from the standpoint of enabling modular application development. The primer also intends to introduce developers to the power of CFCs and why it is important to take advantage of CFCs in building applications.
