• NCFUG and Mark Mandel on Introduction to Building Applications with Transfer ORM

  When developing an Object Oriented web based application, it is normal to have a database with relational tables and a series of objects that represent that data. Often, the amount of time and effort it takes to manually map these objects back and forth from a database is large, and can be very costly. Object Relational Mappers (ORM) were developed to cut down the amount of time this process takes, and automate the translation between a relational database and an Object Oriented system. Transfer ORM's main focus is to automate the repetitive tasks of creating the SQL and custom CFCs that are often required when developing a ColdFusion application. Through a central configuration file Transfer knows how to generate objects, and how to manage them and their relationships back to the database. This presentation will outline the basics of what an Object Relational Mapper is, the use case for using one within web application development, as well as taking a code centric, step by step view of how to install, configure and use the basic functionality of Transfer ORM

• DataFaucet ORM... relax, have a drink

  DataFaucet is another ORM solution for CFML. Whether you're new to the concept, or familiar with them (and current solutions like Transfer or Reactor, and plans for Hibernate in CF9), this talk will explain how DataFaucet eliminates the busy work of writing queries and making changes to your database schema. Get an overview of tools that were able to eliminate almost 600 lines of code from Ray Camden's Galleon forums application while adding features and flexibility. Learn how to create ActiveRecord objects that know their own database tables and relationships and can automatically install their own required tables across a variety of database platforms including (but not limited to) MS Access, MS SQL Server, MySQL and Oracle. It will include a brief comparison of these tools with Transfer ORM (from Mark Mandel / CompoundTheory) and Reactor ORM (from Doug Hughes / Alagad)

• Advanced Transfer ORM Techniques

  Transfer's main focus is to generate and manage the CFCs that represent the data in your application, and it provides a slew of capabilities that work with this aspect and provide you with some very powerful functionality. This talk will cover some of Transfer's 'extra' functionality above and beyond the basic Object Relational Mapping aspects, including: Caching: Transfer has a caching layer that is intergrated with it that can provide significant performance gains. How and why to configure it's different options, and how to use the various cache related methods will be covered. Observable Events: Transfer provides a variety of Events that it fires when certain operations are performed. By utilising these events, other CFCs in a system can be notified of changes, TransferObjects can be manipulated, and so much more. Decorators: If extending the functionality of generic TransferObjects is needed, Decorators are the answer, but there are all sorts of interesting ways to use them. Transfer Query Language: An easier way to write an application's Gateway SQL by leveraging the already built object configuration. Doing a SQL statement that joins three tables with one statement and six keywords? Yes Please! Extending the previous presentation's Calendar application will also be used to demonstrate some of these capabilities.
