Custom AJAX Tags

Level Advanced Time 3:45 - 5:15 Room CG1056 Speaker John Farrar
Description

AJAX is a term we have come to love and hate. AJAX libraries have done one nice thing for us in most cases. They have made JavaScript approachable. But even with these libraries AJAX is still hard to do on a day by day basis. We figure things out and we go through tedious tasks to make them happen.

In this session we will show you how we package up all the goodness of AJAX in ColdFusion custom tags to maximize approachability, duplicateable solutions that are sustainable enough to fulfill your dreams. We have been using this technology at SOSensible to solve code reuse for the "VIEW" side of MVC. Come learn how to build tags that are as cool, no... cooler than the tags that come with ColdFusion for your own web sites. :)

Special Setup
  • Get set up with ColdFusion developer environment.
  • Unzip the class files to the root of your web directory.
Prerequisites
