Architecting CF Applications for Multiple UI Technologies
|
Topic:
The options for web application user interface technologies have never been richer (pun intended), but with things on the front end of the web changing at a furious pace, how do you future-proof all the hard work you do on the backend of your applications? Is it even possible to drive all the various UI technologies with a single CFML-based business logic layer, and build it in such a way that future UI technologies can take advantage of it?
Luckily this is more than a pipe dream, and it's relatively easy to do with a bit of planning and a few key bits of knowledge about layered application architecture. In this presentation you'll learn how to architect your CFML applications in such a way that you can take advantage of HTML, AJAX, Flex, and even AIR user interfaces, all without changing a single line of code in the backend of your application.
