Application.cfc Presentation Files + Recording URL + Next Meeting

Sorry for the delay on this folks, but here is the URL for my Application.cfc presentation. I was delayed as I was waiting to see if this was the official URL. There is a chance this URL may change though.

For the files, please use the download link below.

I am tentatively scheduling a meeting for the end of this month, the last Wednesday. I can cover one of two topics. Please let me know what you think - and whatever I don't cover in September will be covered later.

1) How to add security to a web site. This is a class for beginners and covers the basic, "How in the heck do I start" type situation. It will cover creating a username/password table and how to add a simple logon form. I will talk about basic authentication and if we have time, authorization for more advanced security needs.

2) Custom Tags: What are they, and are they planning to attack! You get the idea.

Lastly - someone give me a good name for this group.

I would be very interested in hearing your thoughts on securing a website. We want to develop a login scheme for our site, and this would be a great intro.

Chuck Boyce at sswug.org recommends code share. In the case of SQL Server, it would be "your favorite stored procedure".
He says a lot of good training comes from people sharing their code.
Idea: How about us sharing our Application.cfcs with each other? Care will have to be taken to make sure no passwords are revealed. In addition, some security flaws may be exposed. But if that were the case, then I would think that the person who exposes the security flaw will probably have a potential solution as well.

How about a forum called "My Application.cfc"?

good idea Phil.

ray, I was dying on the breeze recording where you say:

16 colors.. how bout 4? I grew up on monochrome so I'm up for anything.

Oh, and I like the name Phil mentioned: CF Padawans

I'd be interested in seeing your take on security. AND hope that you would have time to cover "authorization for more advanced security needs".

I'd really like for someone to take on a series of breeze presentations that cover the basics (we're talking kindergarden here) of CF and OO with Model-Glue. I'm a long time procedural developer trying to get my head wrapped around Model-Glue. It's slow going for me, though.

If that is already out there, point me to it (aside from your PDF series which I have already run through).

I still like "cfjedi's cfforce"

I'm totally for a name with at least a reference to Padawans...

I haven't had the chance to watch the recording yet, but #1 is my vote...

I watched the recording and had a question about application.cfc.

Are you required to place all of the cffunctions in the component tag? Or do they have defaults that will be used if not defined?

For example if i only place the cffuction onApplicationStart in the cfcomponent will the application.cfc run correctly?

Do i need to place onApplictionEnd in there? Or any of the others?

Thanks, and great meetings! Hopefully i will be able to do the next one live.

You are NOT required to use them all.
