Flex 4 for ColdFusion developers (and others) at cf.Objective(ANZ)

by kai 16/07/2010

cf.Objective(ANZ) 2010 will for the first time offer full-day workshops on the day before the actual conference. I’m going to offer a full-day training titled “Flex 4 for ColdFusion developers”. Unlike other Flex 4 one-day training or introductions, this one will focus on the special needs of CF folks either coming new into Flex or wanting to learn more about the specifics of integrating Flex apps with ColdFusion.

How much memory does my ColdFusion variable really use? – Part III

by kai 10/03/2010

Finally, nearly the last part (there’s one more coming…). In part II I talked about the different problems we’d run into using the instrumentation code out-of-the-box without modifying it for the special scenario of using it to size ColdFusion variables

How much memory does my ColdFusion variable really use? – Part II

In part I I introduced the problem we’re trying to solve, a general solution (JVM instrumentation) and also pointed you to the JavaSpecialists newsletter #142 for a working solution (from a Java point of view).
