I just posted my Advanced Workshop session given today. It was a great presentation and attendance. If you where not there, you can still check it out by going to the wiki presentations area. The presentation shows all the demos we should have done, I am also uploading the complete workshop source code and the script that was my guide to create the demos. As a side note, I will be translating the demos to screencasts so you can follow along. It should take me a few weeks, but they will get there.

Inherited a CFML Application With Few Tests? Here’s Where to Start!
You need to change an application that has been running for years.

Your ColdFusion Upgrade Passed. Did Your Business Workflows?
The server restarted. The administrator shows the expected version. Your homepage loads, and a few familiar screens look fine.
Would you tell the business the upgrade is complete?
Consider an illustrative scenario: a customer submits an order after an upgrade. The application saves it and displays a confirmation page. But the confirmation email never arrives, and the scheduled process that sends the order to fulfillment has not completed.
From the browser, the transaction...

Luis,
Thanks! It was a great session. I wish it could have gone 5 hours so we could finish everything you had planned. That said, I really got A LOT out of the presentation. The layout demo was great and helped me wrap my head around some of the concepts around the layout manager.
I look forward to the screencasts.
