ColdFusion Administration: It's About More Than Datasources (One Day Seminar)

Are you an administrator of a CF server? Or a developer with an interest in knowing how your server is configured and managed? Are you aware of all that should be done to keep the server running well-or all that could be done to make the most of it?

In this seminar we'll take a look at some of the things a CF administrator should be paying attention to, as well as some of the things they should take advantage of but may not have noticed. We'll discuss aspects of managing the server that extend beyond the CF Administrator interface itself, including tasks for keeping the server environment healthy and running effectively.

What this will NOT be is a boring review of each page in the CF administrator, nor will we get bogged down in trivialities like how to create a datasource. The Macromedia ColdFusion manuals (and online help in the Administrator) do a fine job of providing that sort of "reference" material. (If you haven't read the manuals in CF5, they're quite improved, and there's now context-sensitive help within the Administrator as we'll see.)

Instead, the seminar will bring up a great variety of topics that should interest a typical CF administrator. Some topics will revolve around settings in the Administrator, while others involve tasks outside that interface (and some not specific to ColdFusion). And we'll look at all these from the perspective of a couple broad categories, such as performance and security. We'll conclude with a discussion of where to learn more about these things and how to stay updated on changes (new features, fixes, bugs, etc.).
