For those of you that attended my session, my presentations are coming, I swear! I just found out that my recorded preso did not have any audio so I'm planning on recording another one soon and I'll be sure to add some of the stuff that we didn't have time to cover during the preso.
If you have any questions or comments or anything else you'd like to see, please feel free to post on this entry and I'll get back to you soon.
Cheers...
My company AboutWeb is again sponsoring the community pit at this year's CFUnited. Every year we look at coming up with something new to make your experience more enjoyable. This year, to go with the Green/Sci-Fi theme of the conference, we are going to be having a movie theater showing the greatest Sci-Fi movies, ever!
How do we know that they are the greatest ever, you ask? Because you get to tell us what you want to watch!!! That's right, we are running a poll to get your opinion on what movies will make the cut. To vote for your favorite movie, please go the following link:

I just received confirmation that I will be giving two presentations at CFUnited 2008.
The first is "Integrated ColdFusion Development Environment" which will cover the use of CFEclipse along with version control (using Subversion) and automated build scripts (using ANT) to help organize, maintain and simplify you and your development team's day to day tasks.
The second is "Leveraging Basic Object-Oriented Concepts in ColdFusion". This presentation's focus is to give the basic knowledge necessary to those programmers wanting to venture into using object oriented programming techniques in ColdFusion. If you have been waiting to make the move into OO, but were not sure where to start, this is the presentation for you.
Also, don't forget that Early Bird Registration prices end this Friday, November 30th!
For a more detailed summary about both topics:
Integrated ColdFusion Development Environment
I'm pretty sure I'm late in blogging this, but here we go!
Adobe has released FLEX 2.0 and the ColdFusion updater codenamed Mystic (ColdFusion 7.0.2), coinciding with the first day at CFUnited Conference. I'm currently sitting at the FLEX Coding Kitchen getting ready to dive into the new goodies.. I'll be sure to blog about it later on today..
This is the first time I mentioned CFUnited in this blog.. let me first say that I have attended this event for the last 2 years and it has become the One Conference for ColdFusion developers, definately worth going!
I was not planning on attending it this year, my wife and I are finishing building a single family home and it will be ready for moving in on June 30th, also we close on our current home on the 29th. So with all the packing, moving, settlements, etc.. it wasn't feasible for me to attend even though I only live 25 minutes from the conference and work only 10 minutes from it!
Alas, some good friends of mine were able to get me a pass to attend on Wednesday.. so I'll be around then and maybe in and out throughout the conference.
No that was not the news.. the bad news is Hal Helms will not be attending the conference this year (see Hal Helms unable to attend in the CFUnited blog). I have seen Hal present many times and I have enjoyed his talks/lecturers very much, you'll be missed and we look forward to seeing you next year! The good news is that they are not cancelling Hal's sessions, instead they are having some great folks present in Hal's absence. One of them, my good friend Nic Tunney. Nic and I first met during a massive project I had architected at my last job and he immediatelly impressed me with his knowledge of CF and high standards of coding. I highly suggest going to see him present on Variables and Conditions
