January Meeting Tomorrow

Happy New Year everyone! We're a bit late in posting this, but tomorrow night is our first meeting of the year, and also the first to be held on Thursday. In addition to the schedule change, we are also moving to a new room: 5-17 (in the same building, room 17 on the fifth floor). We just learned today that there is one complication with the switch to Thursday night, which is the fact that Cal Poly requires visitors to obtain parking permits. We are attempting to find out if we can be granted exemptions instead, and will post an update with the outcome...

As far as the meeting agenda is concerned, we are fortunate to have Mike Brunt as our speaker this month, presenting a talk titled "Installing, setting up and using SeeFusion, a practical workshop including load-testing and reporting-analysis". Mike is one of the world's top authorities on issues related to performance and troubleshooting with ColdFusion servers:

Mike Brunt has been coding web applications since 1993 and began using ColdFusion at version 1.54 in 1995-6. He designed and created the first on-line international industrial equipment mart in 1997 (Power Bank International) at the request of a Cummins Engine Company subsidiary. In 1998 he worked with Kodak and Lucent Technologies to create a pioneering web based TeleRadiology cross-consult portal when Radiologists and Primary Care Physicians could review patient medical images. Allaire recruited Mike in 1999 to join a ColdFusion-JRun consulting team. This team was dispatched world-wide to help Allaire then Macromedia clients design and troubleshoot ColdFusion applications. In 2001 Mike co-founded his own company -- Webapper Services LLC. He now works independently, helping ColdFusion users worldwide to create strategies which ensure Enterprise level Adobe Server applications can be scaled effectively and efficiently.

Anyone with an interest in finding out how to optimize their servers to maximize performance and eliminate bottlenecks will not want to miss this, as it is an opportunity to learn from a master of the art of server tuning. Hope to see you all there!
