Meeting - Andrew Leaf on State Pattern HFDP Ch 10
Meeting - Andrew Leaf on State Pattern HFDP Ch 10
Date and Time:
June 8, 2010 from 6:30pm - 9:30pm
Speakers: Guillermo Cruz
Agenda:
In a continuation of our Head First Design Patterns for ColdFusion Developers
series (HFDP4CF), we reach Chapter 11 covering the Proxy Pattern.
Book
Description: Ever play good cop, bad cop? You're the good cop and you provide all your services in a nice and friendly manner, but you don't want everyone asking you for services, so you have the bad cop control access to you. That's what proxies do: control and manage access. As you're going to see, there are lots of ways in which proxies stand in for the objects they proxy. Proxies have been known to haul entire method calls over the internet for their proxied objects; they've also been known to patiently stand in place for some pretty lazy objects.
So what, you may ask, does this have to do with
ColdFusion? Come find out.
Training time:
During the
6:30-7:30 hour, Adrian Moreno early training topic (TBA)
As
always, food/drink will be provided by Paladin Consulting.

May Monthly Meeting - Andrew Leaf on State Pattern HFDP Ch 10
MeetingsTitle: May Monthly Meeting - Andrew Leaf on State Pattern HFDP Ch 10
Date and Time:
May 11, 2010 from 6:30pm - 9:30pm
Speakers: Andrew Leaf
Agenda:
In a continuation of our Head First Design Patterns for ColdFusion Developers series (HFDP4CF), we reach Chapter 10 covering the State Pattern. Book Description: A little known fact: The Strategy and State Patterns were twins separated at birth. As you know the Strategy Pattern (covered in Ch. 1) went on to create a wildly successful business around interchangeable algorithms. State, however took the perhaps more noble path of helping objects learn to control their behavior by changing their internal state. He's often overheard telling his object clients "Just repeat after me, I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggonit..."
So what, you may ask, does this have to do with ColdFusion? Come find out.
Training time:
During the 6:30-7:30 hour, Adam Presley will be offering a training topic on practical use of CFTHREAD in a real-world scenario.
As always, food/drink will be provided by Paladin Consulting.

Recording list for Head First Design Patterns for CFML presentations
The Dallas/Ft. Worth ColdFusion User Group (DFWCFUG) has been working through the book Head First Design Patterns, taking the Java-centric code examples in the chapters and implementing them in ColdFusion to see how they may apply to us as ColdFusion developers. By popular demand, here is the
- Chapter 1: HFDP for CF - Intro and The Strategy Pattern
Presenter: Dave Shuck
Date: 9/8/2009
Description: We will begin our new series of presentations as we walk though Head First Design Patterns in CFML. HFDP is widely regarded as a valuable resource for learning about development design patterns. Our goal for this series will be to take one chapter at a time, creating the examples in CFML, and exploring how each pattern might be useful for us as CFML developers. The plan is to send my HFDP book home with someone at each meeting, giving them the opportunity to create the presentation for the following meeting. That person will bring the book back when they present and pass it onto the next person and repeat that process until we have covered the book. This month, Dave Shuck will be leading off with Chapter 1, which covers a general introduction of design patterns, and an exploration of the Strategy Pattern.
