Proton Arts: Fusebox 4 & FLiP: Master-Class ColdFusion Applications

by Jeff Peters ($39.95 each)

Fusebox 4 & FLiP: Master-Class ColdFusion Applications, by Jeff Peters provides the most current and complete reference available for the Fusebox web application development framework, and the Fusebox Lifecycle Process (FLiP).

If you're looking for a Fusebox 4 reference that gives you the low-down on the Fusebox core, the FLiP process, and even includes a complete sample application development, Fusebox 4 & FLiP: Master-Class ColdFusion Applications is the one book that has it all. It's almost 500 pages of Fusebox gold, waiting to be mined. From the first introductory page to the sections on Fusebox concepts, the Fusebox core, and the Fusebox Lifecycle process; to the concise appendices; to the complete topical index and index of illustrations; you'll find just what you're looking for in Fusebox 4 & FLiP: Master-Class ColdFusion Applications.

Proton Arts: ColdFusion Lists, Arrays & Structures

by Jeff Peters ($19.95 each)

ColdFusion Lists, Arrays, and Structures provides an in-depth examination of these important complex data types. It offers a wealth of examples and ideas for both the novice programmer and the ColdFusion expert. Concise, direct, and well- illustrated, it's a must for every CF developer's reference library.

Why buy another ColdFusion language reference? Because ColdFusion Lists, Arrays, and Structures answers the questions that Macromedia's documentation doesn't. For example, what happens if a particular function receives unexpected data? Does it throw an error, or successfully provide an unexpected result? If you don't know the answer, you can find it here. Don't settle for doing things The Way We've Always Done It; get the information you need to be the innovator on your development team.

MT101

Mach-II is a robust, object-oriented framework built on an event-based, implicit invocation architecture. This course is intended for students who want to quickly learn how to make the best use of object orientation in the Mach-II framework. Students need no prior knowledge of object orientation or Mach-II, but should have a basic familiarity with ColdFusion MX. The course is taught by Hal Helms, one of the principals who designed and wrote the Mach-II framework code.

* What is Mach-II
* Why use Mach-II
* The Model-View-Controller Design Pattern
* An Object Orientation Primer
* CFCs and OO : Encapsulation, Polymorphism, and Inheritance
* Mach-II Fundamentals
* Building A Simple Mach-II Application
* The Implicit Invocation Architecture
* Events and Event Handlers
* Listeners, Invokers, and Page Views
* Configuration, Event Filters, and Plugins
* OO and Relational Databases
