I am glad to inform that I will be presenting at CF.Objective 2010 this year in Minneapolis. Unfortunately, it will be only 1 topic, as my other 2 where not accepted (LogBox: Making Logging in ColdFusion Fun again and Powering iPhone Applications with ColdFusion). Hopefully, next year they will allow more topics.

Not only will I will be presenting, but I will be doing a ColdBox 1 Day training course: CBOX-100. So if you will be attending CF.Objective and need to get some ColdBox Training, you can. So I hope to see you there this April.

I just found out that the Railo crew is giving away a free CFUnited entry ticket. So if you want to attend CFunited on somebody else's dime, now you can :)

I got back from CF.Objective this Saturday night and what a great conference. I had the privilege to speak for my second year at CF.Objective and I really enjoy this conference. The high energy and advanced topics is definitely what I enjoyed the most. For this year the sessions that I really enjoyed where Marc Esher's Test Driven Development, Sean Corfield's CFSpec discussion, the Git BOF, the Railo BOF and the new ORM cf9 features.

I think the most enjoyable BOF I attended was git lead by Peter Bell and Simeon Bateman, those guys KNOW THEIR STUFF!! Peter even posted the git pressos that I will be studying for quite a while. I am really starting to consider more an more a move to GIT for the entire ColdBox suite. Simeon had some EXCELLENT day to day cases and great explanations of how GIT differs from SVN. Thanks Simeon and Peter!!

Another important part of CF.Objective where my mocking and testing discussions with Bill Shelton from the MXUnit Team. It was uncanny that we where both developing some kind of mocking frameworks and our ideas where eerily similar. We definitely got our Mock On and discussed so many improvements for the upcoming MXUnit MightyMock and the new ColdBox Addition: MockBox!! I really enjoyed our session Bill and hopefully we can join forces on this one!!

We will be holding a pre-conference training at CF.Objective 2009 for ColdBox. Below you can find information about the course and how to register. Don't miss the opportunity to learn all there is not know about ColdBox!

I just saw that EXT JS is having their first conference in Orlando, Florida and the sessions seem action packed.

My friend Aaron Conran will be presenting various topics and it sure seems like it will be a great conference.

I just got back from vacation and had great news that my topic was accepted for CFUnited 2009.. CFUnited is one of the premier ColdFusion conferences around the world and I definitely recommend that you register for it NOW!
