Presentations

Theses are the presentations I have given. I am relatively new to this, since the first one was just at CFUN-04. I am more than happy to give any of them at a CFUG meeting.

HTML Markup for Accessibility You Never Knew About

Many of us began our web careers learning HTML, but as we spent time learning new skills such as JavaScript, CSS and Server-Side Scripting Languages such as ColdFusion, we never revisited HTML.

The HTML 4.01 spec contains many tags and attributes that are directly connected to Accessibility. Using these tags in structural markup makes our web pages much more accessible to those with disabilities. Focus on tags and attributes in HTML and the affect on accessibility with an emphasis on creating accessible data tables.

Lambda Boxes: CFML & FB Apps on the Cheap

For years deploying CFML and Fusebox applications has been expensive due to the cost of the ColdFusion server. That is no longer the case with the release of New Atlanta's BlueDragon 6.1 Free Server. Shows you the tips and tricks to building a Lambda box (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and BlueDragon) to run CFML and FB 4 applications. Covers Apache and MySQL integration, important differences between Macromedia's and New Atlanta's CFML specifications and the necessary patches to the Fusebox 4 corefiles to run on BlueDragon.
