Mark Mandel (Melbourne, Australia)

Mark Mandel is the author of several open source projects, most notably Transfer ORM and JavaLoader and has been has been working with ColdFusion for a number of years, including at his very own dot com bomb back in the late 90's.

Speaker Details

Mark can often be found blogging at www.compoundtheory.com, which has housed his thoughts on ColdFusion, Java and various other aspects of software development for several years. He can also be found as a regular poster on ColdFusion mailing lists as well as generally causing havoc in the #coldfusion channel on Dalnet irc network.

When he's not too busy writing open source software and consulting he enjoys spending his extra time getting beaten up, training martial arts in a wide variety of disciplines and reading way too much fantasy literature.

We will look at how, you can extend, modify, filter and transform all aspects of the CF <=> AMF serialisation and deserialisation process, including how the Flex RemoteObject invokes CFCs as well, through Conduit, and ALL in ColdFusion Component code. More...

Database Queries the Easy Way using Transfer Query Language

Transfer ORM provides you with a lot of functionality in terms of managing and modelling the data in your system, but it also provides you with the tools to do complex database queries, with a fraction of the code that you would normally write. Transfer Query Language is SQL-like scripting language that is built into Transfer ORM that allows you to do complex queries against your database, with far less code than conventional SQL. By utilising the XML configuration of Transfer, TQL can generate a large amount of the underlying SQL for you, while also allowing you to build queries that are based on your object model, which removes the need to concept shift back to the relational database model when developing.

Dependency Injection Redefined - ColdSpring 2.0: Narwhal

ColdSpring 2.0, codename Narwhal, is a complete rewrite of ColdSpring aiming is to provide a far more extensible architecture and many more features above and beyond what is currently provided with ColdSpring to date.  These new features will give developers the capabilities to to build and manipulate this Inversion of Control framework in fascinating and very powerful ways, thus saving them even more time when managing their dependencies and utilising functionality such as Aspect Oriented Programming.

Developing Applications with Transfer ORM

When developing an Object Oriented web based application, it is normal to have a database with relational tables and a series of objects that represent that data. Often, the amount of time and effort it takes to manually map these objects back and forth from a database is large, and can be very costly. More...

Workshop: Transfer Training Workshop

A full day workshop working with the author of the Transfer Object Relational Mapping Framework, Mark Mandel. This workshop will take you through building a sample application with Transfer, covering Eclipse IDE setup, installation and configuration, usage, and some of Transfer's more advanced feature set to show you how you can use Transfer to drastically cut down the amount of SQL and ColdFusion you need to write when developing applications, and start delivering applications in a fraction of the time you did previously. This workshop is suitable for those people who have never used Transfer, or any other ORM, as well as those who already have a familiarity with it.
FULL DAY Price: $495 (inc GST) More...
