Next Meeting: Installing multiple versions of ColdFusion together

Date: Thursday, December 10th
Time: 6:00pm – 7:30pm EST
Location: UPenn, Jon M. Huntsman Hall. 3730 Walnut Street, or near 36th/37th st Trolleys
Room: F90 (in the "Forum" (basement) level)
Speaker: Daria (Laura Norris), Free Library of Philadelphia

Daria will show how to set up your development environment to use CF9 & CF8 (or even CF6 or 7) at the same time using ColdFusion's multi-server configuration option. This can be useful when you have several projects that have different code level requirements, or just to play with new features before you can develop your production apps with them. She will also cover how to connect the different ColdFusion instances to CFBuilder. This will be a BYOL (bring your own laptop) session that will allow you to follow along and ask questions. If you can't bring a laptop, that's ok too. Come prepared to learn more about managing the services that CF installs and how to get the most performance out of your development environment.

To prepare for the meeting:

• Install CFBuilder, if you haven't already
• Bring the appropriate Installation files for at least 2 versions of ColdFusion (versions 6.1 and later) that you want to install together on your laptop. Versions 8 and 9 can both be downloaded from Adobe (scroll to the bottom of the page for version 8)

Currently a full time web developer for the Free Library of Philadelphia, Daria has been working with ColdFusion for 13 years and has been an independent consultant since 1997. She recently began a CF blog about her journey to Object Oriented programming and tweets about CF and library related topics as @cfGothChic.
