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 did an interview for CFConversations back in October and it is now released.  Please check it out by visiting the cfconversations website.

It was a true pleasure to talk to Brian Meloche and Adam Haskell.  I had a great time talking to those guys. We talked from everything about El Salvador, Salvadorean food, the Salvadorean Civil War, coming to the US, the roots of ColdBox and the future of ColdBox.

So if you have time, please check it out and don't forget about ColdBox Training is now available for March 14-15th in Ontario, CA.

I am pleased to announce our third ColdBox Training seminar to be held in sunny Southern California on March 14-15th, 2009. We have a great venue at the Hyatt Ontario Mills in Ontario, California (ONT). Just 30 minutes from Disney and super close to Los Angeles and surrounding beaches. This seminar will cover our flagship course: CBOX-101 - Core ColdBox and it will include everything ColdBox up to version 2.6.3. Wait a minute, 2.6.3 is still not out, well it soon will be, but the docs are ready!!

The early bird pricing has been announced and it is an INCREDIBLE early bird price. So head over to the ColdBox Training site and register now as occupancy is limited.

I am sick and tired of MySQL Query crashing on me every 10 minutes. What other Mac software would you recommend for dealing with MySQL. I really like MySQL Query's simplicity, but I just hate its instability. What do you recommend?

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!

See you in D.C. in August!
