Client Side MVC: Building Modern Smart Phone Apps with ColdFusion and Sencha Touch

Smartphones are becoming more popular. Writing apps for each of them is very time consuming and in some cases, the arbitrary approval process, makes the deployment cycle long.

Creating one smartphone app in a modern application framework makes it easier to reach many customers more quickly. In this presentation we will focus on using ColdFusion as the backend to a Sencha touch app. Heavy focus is on how to get started with a Javascript MVC (Model-View-Controller) as an organization approach to reusable client side code.

Applied application security

As recent hacks into Sony, Sega, and Nintendo has shown us, application security is important and simple things can make a big difference. The coding platform does assist, but many times the developers still have to think about holistic application security.

In this presentation we will focus on practical steps that each developer can take to make the application more secure. We will share simple code snippets and security frameworks like OWASP. Even look into the implication of next generation of ColdFusion with some of the OWASP principles baked in and their impact on developer coding in the future.
