Location: NGA.net, Level 2, 17 Raglan St, South Melbourne (map)
Agenda: Dale Fraser will be presenting on CFAJAX!

ColdFusion 8 includes a lot of Ajax features, and if you think Ajax is complicated, think again. Ajax will make some of the things you do now easier, and if you can write ColdFusion code, you can easily use Ajax with ColdFusion Ajax features. So if you have always wanted to do some Ajax stuff or you want to learn what Ajax is, then this is for you.

Topics covered include:

- CFAJAXPROXY to bind to controls and CFC's
- CFGRID a DHTML grid with binding and paging
- CFINPUT an autosuggest feature using Ajax binding
- Javascript methods that come with ColdFusion 8
- and more
