I will also be taking several books with me (ColdBox Books) that is. So if you want to buy-win a hard copy ColdBox Definitive Guide, then look for me, ping me via twitter @lmajano or just shout at the conference.

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.
