Using FLiP and Fusebox as a single developer
|
Topic:
One complaint I've heard about FB is that there are no large-sized example web applications or sites available. There are a number of examples, but nothing of an "enterprise" level example is out there to examine. I'm not sure what I've built is enterprise-level or not, but I will be showing how I used FLiP to build the site. I'll be walking the audience through the site, and the development process. It will be part code, part war-stories, part "how I figured out how to do this."
The goals of the talk are to show:
1. How Fusebox and FLiP are very helpful even for a single-man development team
2. How I implemented FLiP in this project, which was done for $0 and had to be fitted in around my work schedule.
3. How FB makes enhancements and upgrades to the site relativley simple
4. What a large FB-based web site looks like in terms of number of circuits, XML, etc. In other words, how FB "scales up" from an example application to a full-blown data-driven web site.
Bio:
Christian Ready has been designing and developing web sites since 1996. In his spare time he's an officer in the Civil Air Patrol, the official auxiliary of the United States Air Force, serving as commander of Group II in the Maryland Wing, and flies around a bit as a Mission Observer. Christian holds a bachelor's degree in Astrophysics and worked on the Hubble Space Telescope. Even though he stayed on the ground most of the time, it was still a pretty cool gig. He's nuts about web standards, CSS, accessibility, usability, design, ColdFusion, best practices, and a whole host of other buzzwords.
