March's Meeting: ExtJS and Coldfusion

Presented by: Steve "Cutter" Blades

ColdFusion 8 provides a robust framework for quickly prototyping rich ajaxified applications, once again making the hard things easy. This topic will cover a brief introduction to the new ajax components and functions included with ColdFusion 8, how they can quickly be used to provide very slick application prototypes, and how the use of the ExtJS API can further extend, or replace, that base functionality to create truly rich applications.
