"Migrating Existing Applications to ColdFusion on Wheels", with Chris Peters

Our 6pm (US ET) talk on Thursday Feb 10 will be "Migrating Existing Applications to ColdFusion on Wheels", with Chris Peters.

TOPIC DESCRIPTION: (provided by the speaker)

You're interested in ColdFusion on Wheels, but you have one big word in your vocabulary: legacy. You have a gigantic CFML application that would make the Flying Spaghetti Monster envious of its spaghetti-tasticness. Join this hour talk to learn what it would be like to finally start adding some structure to your uber application using the Wheels MVC approach, piece by piece.

But don't be fooled: rewiring a legacy application does not come without some challenges and a need for planning. No worries. I'll cover that with some different strategies to employ based on your specific needs and Wheels's features. You'll find that URL routing, ORM, and other OOP features in Wheels allow you to rebuild in small pieces, refactoring and integrating when needed.
