Write some code, Win a ticket to CF.Objective!

We are running a great little competition that with just a few lines of code (ok, 4K total file size) you can win a ticket to cf.Objective on April 22-24, 2010 at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis, MN! 

There are few rules to the competition, but basically just write some code that shows off Railo Open Source server's features.

Check out the rules and some ideas over at the Railo Blog!

Scotch on the Road and CFObjective Presentations

A few people have asked me to post my presentations, and I should have done so anyway straight after the conferences, but of course, since I did three presentations + a Mystery Theatre at cfobjective and four presentations at Scotch on the Road I have been falling behind normal work and blog postings.

So, here for your delectation are all the presentations for you to download... (apart from the Mystery Theatre 3000 since that has a naughty picture in it)

• Atomic Reactor: or how I stopped worrying and love the ORM
• ColdSpring: Better Living through configuration
• Which Framework? ColdBox, Mach-ii and Model Glue compared
• Whats Railo 3.1 Open Source?
• Railo in the Cloud
• ModelGlue and You

Off to the big Apple!

I am currently in Zürich, after doing two days training on ModelGlue, Reactor, ColdSpring, Test Driven Development and Ant (a lot packed into two days I tell you!) as well as hanging out with Gert Franz, the first time since we both starting working with each other!

Anyway, on Friday the 8th of May I am heading off to New York City to hang out with Peter Bell for a few days which shall be a blast again, just before cfObjective, and to present at the New York CFUG on the 12th of May.

Find out more details over at the New York CFUG (http://www.nycfug.com/) come over and join us, as well as having a beer (they do beer in NYC right?)

The Railo Crew invade New York, May the CFML be with you.

That's right, before heading to the fantastic cfObjective conference on Wednesday 13th of May, Gert Franz and myself (Mark Drew in case you didn't realise) will be hanging out in New York with the other Railo Meister Peter Bell

We should be arriving in time for Friday the 8th of May, before Escaping from New York and heading up north to Minneapolis!

Nothing confirmed just yet but there should be a cf_drinks happening maybe on Monday 11th Tuesday 12th if anyone is in the area?

We promise good deeds and a plethora of interesting accents at least! Come one, come all!

Presenting ColdSpring at cfObjective today!

Sean mentioned last night, due to Hal Helms being unable to come to cfObjective because of health reasons a few sessions have been flipped about but like one of those slidey puzzles where you are trying to get those squares in order to make a picture of a butterfly, there is still a slot missing. I shall try to fill in that slot with a introductory presentation into ColdSpring called "ColdSpring: Better living through configuration". Since its a last minute change, I am hoping *some* people will turn up! I actually enjoy doing this presentation so it should be a laugh if anything!
