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:

As promised, here are the slides and code examples for my CF.Objective() 2008 presentation. Feel free to post any comments or questions and I'll get to them asap.
As I mentioned after the presentation, I'm also going to be putting together an intermediate version of this talk covering more complex patterns. Also, I have been told that CF.Objective() 2009 will be tentatively scheduled for May 6-9. So now you have plenty of time to begin schmoozing your bosses to let you go. I have to say that this is THE conference for learning the high level skills needed to build enterprise level applications in ColdFusion.
I'm done with my presentations on "Leveraging Basic Design Patterns in ColdFusion" talk at CF.Objective(). For those of you who attended, thank you very much for coming! I hope you have learned something useful that will help make your day to day coding better, and I'd love to hear from you on any feedback. I will be posting my slides and code examples as soon as I return home to Maryland. Also, I am thinking about making an extension to this intro talk with an intermediate session covering more patterns, let me know if you are interested in that as well.
I'd like to also thank our great hosts Jared Rypka-Hauer, Steven Hauer and Jim Louis for a great conference experience, both as a speaker and as an attendee. I'm looking forward to CF.Objective() 2009!
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!
