Thanks to everyone who came out to last night's meeting at Expo Logic. There was definitely as much interest in having meetings in the Philly suburbs as there is in the city, so we will be alternating between city meetings and suburban meetings for the foreseeable future. June will be in the city again, July in the suburbs again, and so on. (Easy way to remember: even months will be City, odd months will be suburbs.)

At the end of his presentation, Gert had a slide with a lot of reference links and I promised to share those with you, so you can find them here.

Details for our June meeting will be announced soon. Stay tuned!

Just a quick reminder that we're meeting tomorrow, in Broomall. See you there!

This month we have Gert Franz, CEO of Railo Technologies, presenting a sneak peak of his cfObjective 2012 session, Do's and Don'ts Regarding Performance.

Have you ever wondered where the site is taking too long to execute? Have you experienced problems under high traffic? Did your servers crash due to the amount of load? What to do? What is fast and what not?

In this session we will investigate common mistakes and errors and unveil myths about common performance tuning tips. Several things will be new to even the experienced developers.

Next to the general tips for improving performance, we will have a look at the impact different programming techniques have on performance.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING LOCATION:

This month we're going to try something a little bit different. We get the feeling that our suburban members are a little estranged from the group because they can't or don't want to drive all the way into the city for a meeting. So this time we're bringing the meeting to them. Instead of meeting in West Philly's University City district, we'll be meeting in Broomall, PA, at the offices of one of our members, Expo Logic. Hopefully, being outside the city will make it easier for people who live/work in the suburbs to attend.

This is not a permanent location change, it's an experiment. If people like meeting outside the city like this then we'll try to rotate back and forth -- for example: odd months in the city, even in the suburbs. We can even try to move the suburban location around a little bit, if anyone has any ideas or space they want to offer up. I hope that if you've been skipping meetings due to the location that you'll make an effort to come this time. We have to judge the need for something like this based on attendance, so if this is the direction you want the CFUG to go in, you need to show up and put your butt in a seat! If it turns out not to be popular, we'll go back to holding every meeting in the city.

WebLinc is a development shop situated in Old City, and they're looking for some talent. Oh, they also own a bar, National Mechanics, and the office is in the same building (upstairs) as the bar; so you don't have to go far for happy hour!

We are looking for someone who is excited about technology.

You'll work with some of the best tech leads and designers to make some of the greatest ecommerce sites on the web. You will report to a Tech Lead who will help you through the rough spots, but you'll have enough rope to, uh, to do the job properly.

You'll be held accountable for your responsibilities, but you'll get the glory when things go well, which they normally do. Your ideas and opinions will be heard and given the consideration they deserve.

We're looking for people with a fair amount of experience building sophisticated systems utilizing ColdFusion. Experience with SQL Server or MySQL is also important. Obviously, if you know other languages that is also useful.

Let us know why you're the right person for this job. We're hiring immediately for positions in Old City.

For our April meeting, our very own CFUG manager Adam Tuttle will be presenting a sneak preview of one of his two cf.Objective() 2012 presentations, "Hidden Gems in Browser Tools".

Firefox has FireBug, Chrome has Developer Tools, and Internet Explorer has the Developer Toolbar. For some people, using them is a sign that something has gone wrong. But it doesn't have to be that way. These tools can be a boon of productivity if you just take a little while to learn about their features, and you'll soon wonder how you ever worked without them.

In this session I will show more than 20 new or neglected features of the Developer Tools for these three most common browsers. Safari and Opera each get a few honorable mentions, too. They may not all be new to you, but everyone should learn something!

Please RSVP here so that we can get an accurate head count for food!
