If you're going to be at MAX 2005 and need a roommate, finding one has always been a shot in the dark. At least it used to be, until Ryan Hartwich of the Kansas City ColdFusion User Group made your job a whole lot easier. Using the advanced features of ColdFusion MX 7, such as Flash Forms and Flashpaper, he's written an application that allows someone to enter in a profile and then look through other people's profiles to find a good match.
This simple application, from registration to profile to a Flashpaper report of all prospective roommates, showcases the simplicity and speed of these often-overlooked functionality. Many people discount Flash Forms because they may be a second or two slower loading up than HTML forms, but the look and feel that they create are well worth that extra moment. Please feel free to use his application and save yourself a little money at MAX by sharing space. MAX Roommate Finder
