See You At cf.Objective()

After much delay, I've finally got a hold on the sessions we'll be presenting at cf.objective() 2008. It was a bit harder to plan for this conference since the team behind cf.obj() is really focused on enterprise development. This meant I couldn't offer the same old 'ColdFusion 8 Feature X' type of presentation and instead had to come up with some higher-level ideas. Here's what we've got lined up...

Open Source Could Be Last Hope For BlueDragon

Regardless of the spin from New Atlanta, the move to open source BlueDragon appears to be a last ditch effort to breathe life into a dying business.

3 ColdFusion Sessions During Adobe Developer Week

Next week marks the return of Adobe Developer Week and I'm presenting 3 different ColdFusion sessions. The first session on Monday is aimed at new CFML customers and is an overview of the award winning release. On Wednesday we'll step it up a notch and explore the Adobe Technology Platform and how to build ColdFusion powered Flex/AIR applications. The final sessions on Thursday is a bit more advanced and I'm really looking forward to it. We'll use the open source Blaze DS project to add simple chat functionality to an existing ColdFusion application (while providing an overview of CF/LCDS integration). Check my calendar for more details.

219 unread messages... I'm back

I'm back home in RockVegas after attending the Adobe Tech Summit in New Delhi (more on that in a later post). Because of all the time lost in travel and spotty internet connections, I'm fighting to keep my head above a sea of emails. And No, the unread messages do not include any of the lists I'm on, those are honest-to-goodness, 'we needed a reply yesterday' emails. If you are one of those, I promise I'll get to you soon (by the end of the weekend at the latest).

Free ColdFusion 8 Training

I'm working with New Toronto Group (one of our largest ColdFusion partners in North America) to put together a free 2-hour training session on ColdFusion 8. There is a ton of new stuff in CF8 (the largest release to date) and I'm going to try and cover as much as I can in two hours. If you are still running a previous version of ColdFusion join us to find out what your missing. If you've just moved to CF8, I'll show you how to get started using some of the new features like:
