3. Database Design for ColdFusion Developers seminar in Florida Friday 12/1/00 or Sat 12/2/00
-----------------------
This event is organized by Kevin Langevin of the South Florida 
ColdFusion User Group and Adam Churvis of ACFUG.  

* Want to make your ColdFusion applications really fly? 

* Want to make them scale under the heaviest possible loads? 

* Want to make developing them faster and easier? 

Then come to the Database Design for ColdFusion Developers 
Seminar! 

Even if you've been working with databases for years, the Database 
Design for ColdFusion Developers Seminar will show you critical tips 
and techniques you didn't know but need to, and you're guaranteed to 
learn new database engineering principles that will remove performance 
bottlenecks from your ColdFusion applications under heavy multi-user 
load.

Remember: All databases perform well when it's only you and your 
friend hitting it; that same database might completely shut down after 
only four simultaneous users, and you won't know it until it's too 
late.  This seminar will teach you to engineer away from the 
"invisible death  traps" inherent in most database designs, and ensure 
that your database will scale when the masses come to your site.

And you'll learn how to write your ColdFusion applications to take 
every possible advantage of your well-engineered databases.  You 
really should come to this seminar!
