southeast minnesota cfug january 2008 meeting

The Southeast Minnesota ColdFusion User Group will be meeting on Thursday, January 10th, at 10:00AM on the Rochester Mayo Clinic campus.

At this meeting, Joe Rinehart, the creator of Model-Glue and the owner of Firemoss, LLC, will be presenting on using Hibernate and ColdFusion.

Here is more about what Joe will be presenting. Saving object instances to and from a database is often a tedious chore: the SQL is simple, but there's a lot of it, and it's repetitive. To help out, Object Relational Mapping (ORM) frameworks aim to do 90% of the work for you. While many ColdFusion developers are familiar with Transfer and Reactor, not many have explored Hibernate, an industry-standard ORM for Java. We'll be taking a look at how it's easy to begin using Hibernate from ColdFusion with or without having to model your application with Java classes.

We will be meeting in the Hartman Conference room on the 4th Floor of the Centerplace (US Bank) Building.
