Thanks to everyone who came out to hear my presentation on Ten Steps to Move your Use of Caching Beyond the Basics at cf.Objective 2012. As promised, here are the slides, demo code, and ehcache.xml config file from the session.

Ten Steps to Move your Use of Caching Beyond the Basics (zip)

Below you'll find a link to the slides from my cf.Objective 2012 presentation on Maintaining Healthy ColdFusion Servers. Thanks to all those who came out to see the talk!

Maintaining Healthy ColdFusion Servers (zip)

If you happen to be in the Phoenix area on Wednesday, January 25th, stop on by the University of Advancing Technology at 6:30 pm to catch a preview of my upcoming cf.Objective presentation: Ten Steps to Move Your Use of Caching Beyond the Basics. Here's a short description of the presentation:

We all know that caching plays an important part of any performant and scalable application architecture and that with ColdFusion 9 caching is easier than ever. This session explores 10 steps you can take to move your use of caching beyond what ColdFusion provides out of the box.

*Please note that this presentation won't be recorded/streamed. You have to be there in person to see it. Normally I'm all for recording and streaming, but since this is a preview of a talk I'll be giving at an upcoming conference, I want to limit the audience out of respect to those attending the conference.

Slides, config files and code for my cf.objective() 2011 presentation, "Undocumented and Off Script: ColdFusion & Ehcache" are now available. You can view the slides inline, or download the attached zip file which contains the presentation and all files/code from the presentations.

As always, if you have questions or want to discuss, leave a comment or hit me up on twitter at @styggiti.

Headed to cf.Objective 2011 and want to learn more about caching in ColdFusion with Ehcache? Stop by my session Undocumented and Off Script: ColdFusion & Ehcache on Thursday, May 12th at 10:15 am. I'll cover a broad range of topics including upgrading the version of Ehcache that ships with ColdFusion, clustered caching, distributed caching, cache search, cache monitoring, developer tools, and much, much more.

I hope to see you there!

I just received word today that I'll be speaking at cf.Objective() 2010. This is the one ColdFusion conference I've wanted to attend for years now but have never been able to.

If you've been following my blog lately, I've been working on a multi-part series on caching in ColdFusion 9. I also spoke about this topic at Adobe MAX 2009. Caching is something I've been very interested in for the past few years now.

The presentation I'm planning for cf.Objective() is a little different than the one I gave at MAX. There will be some overlap, but the focus of the cf.Objective talk will be on caching for scalability as opposed to a general presentation on caching fundamentals.

I hope to see you there!
