At the last TVCFUG meeting there was a request for a meeting to cover Objected Oriented development in ColdFusion. At CFUnited, in Washington last month, I saw three presentations on OO Programming.

Nick Tunney did an Introduction to OO Session, then Hal Helms told us all about using CFCs with OO while Matt Woodward took us through the subject from Back to Front.

If you are intested to know more please come along to our meeting on 25th July where we will be reviewing the material they presented and discussing the best way to use OO techniques in your ColdFusion code.

If you are interested please register on the TVCFUG web site.

Tomorrow we having another meeting of the TVCFUG. We Will be discussing Web Services and looking at the issues of using them in CF7.

For directions on how to get to the meeting see the UKCFUG web site.
