Adobe ColdFusion MX 7 Training Course

 

Advanced ColdFusion MX 7
Duration: 3 days
Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7

Course Synopsis: Advanced ColdFusion MX 7 Development provides ColdFusion application developers with the knowledge and hands-on practice that they need to build, maintain, and scale effective web applications. This course focuses on creating and delivering scalable and well-performing applications and includes information on web services and working with XML documents.

Who Should Attend: Web developers with ColdFusion experience will learn
advanced techniques and develop the ability to create and manipulate complex data in queries, array and structures. Additionally, students will be able to build an application with the business logic and database access encapsulated in reusable ColdFusion components.

Prerequisites: Because of the amount of material we cover in class, we do require students to be comfortable using a mouse, opening and saving files, and the general operations of computers. While we will make every reasonable effort to help, students with insufficient skills may be required to observe the class lessons or do their best to keep up without slowing down the rest of the class. We highly recommend
attending the Fast Track to ColdFusion MX 7 course before attending this course.

What You Will Learn:
• Creating Complex Queries
• Using the Application Framework
• Reusing Code with Custom Tags
• Structuring Applications with ColdFusion Components
• Using <cfgrid>
• Creating Custom Tags
• Using XML with ColdFusion
• Gracefully Handling Errors and Exceptions
• Interactive Interfaces Using Flash Forms

Time: Class time is 9:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. Breaks are scheduled throughout the day and lunch is typically scheduled 12-1. Students provide their own lunch.

Locations: We have company-operated facilities in Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, San Diego and Washington DC. We also work with a network of rental facilities to offer our classes regularly across the United States and in Canada. Please double-check the location of your class with our office to make sure you get to the right location.

Related Courses: We recommend the following courses that relate to this class: Adobe Flash 8 Professional, Dreamweaver 8 Web Site Development, Dreamweaver 8 ColdFusion Application Development and Fast Track to ColdFusion MX7. Please take a look at our other course outlines.
