CFML Mythbusters
Saturday February 25, 9:30 am - 10:30 am
In this session, Mark Drew will be checking out the common myths that have grown amongst CFML developers. Taking each myth and subjecting it to methodical testing, all the way till it can be Confirmed, deemed Plausible or BUSTED!
Common questions such as "CFC's are really slow to create", "Outputs over the whole page are better" and "CFScript is faster than tags!" will be put to the test, live and in public and their secrets exposed.
Mark might don a beret and white shirt for this session. Then again, that just might be another myth.
