CFUnited 2008 Day 2 recap

Messy sandwiches for lunch.

Real World Flex & ColdFusion (Matt Woodward)

Have Flex only speak with a RemoteFacade.cfc! I have a crap load of cfc... beans, DOAs, gateways... And I'm used to having Flex speak to each Gateway individually. After a while, I started making a GenericGateway.cfc that would pass through to the different gateways. RemoteFacade.cfc, GenericGateway.cfc, same thing. I'm liking the first name more though.

Practical Code Generation (Peter Bell)

Wowza, such a simple and obvious idea. Keep your generated and custom code separate. I've shot myself in the foot for a while, having to copy my custom code to another place while I regenerate.

Automating the Build/Deplay Process with ANT (Marc Esher)

ANT = hotness. Marc flew through the content at lightning speed. But that ANT can copy/zip/version control with such a simple syntax... oh, my likey. If nothing else, I need to make DEV to TEST and a TEST to PROD scripts. Opening up two Explorer windows when it's time to progress the app is a pain and leaves lots of room for boo boos.
