Excel and CF, Options and Techniques

This presentation will take us through the various methods of interacting with Excel spreadsheets through ColdFusion.  Using the example of importing a large, multi-sheet data collection spreadsheet, we will look at the various methods for getting the data into the system and explore the advantages and limitations of each method.  On the export side, we will explore various methods with an eye towards flexiblity in formatting and embedding formulas.  This presentation will look at methods that work in CF7/8 as well as investigating the new cfspreadsheet tag that is coming in CF9.

Doug Hughes is presenting Using Ant to Deploy Coldfusion Applications and you can watch and learn for free at the CFinNC conference!

Using Ant to Deploy ColdFusion Applications

Ant is a fantastic tool for deploying applications. It's widely used in the Java world, but is under utilized by ColdFusion developers. What can it do? Pretty much all the tedious steps you currently do when manually deploying applications! In this presentation I'll give an overview of Ant's capabilities and limitations.  I'll also demonstrate CFAnt, an open source and extensible suite of Ant tasks that implement all of the features of the ColdFusion admin API!

Scott Boggs is presenting Tour Bus Through Flatland: Visual Design Principles for Websites and Systems and you can watch and learn for free at the CFinNC conference!

Tour Bus Through Flatland: Visual Design Principles for Websites and Systems 

Computer screens are flat. When building interfaces we create illusions of navigable spaces. Design principles can help us to best "guide" users through flatland. This presentation explains principles of effective visual design and how they can be used in websites and applications. Applying concepts like balance, color theory, grouping, white-space, and visual hierarchy to interface designs can make good systems into great ones and increase users' satisfaction and success.

About Scott Boggs

Scott Boggs is a Senior Web Designer at RTI International specializing in visual design, front end code, and user experience. He is equally inspired by painters like Paul Cézanne and Richard Diebenkorn as by Information Design pioneers like Edward Tufte (who coined the term “Flatland”). He holds a science degree from University of Michigan and an art degree from North Carolina Central University. Before working as a designer, he was a social worker and a guitar teacher.
