Mark Drew (Redux)- cf_etc...

Next week, CFUnited DC gets on the way, and what a busy conference it will be! Having checked my schedule it looks like it will be a real marathon for me.

Here is my schedule: Wed 1:30 - 2:30 : ColdSpring: Better living through configuration

Wed 8:30pm - 9:30pm : Improving quality through code reviews and mentoring

Thurs 9:30 - 10:30: Fresh Air: Getting to grips with Aptana and AIR applications

Fri 9:45-10:45: CFEclipse Reloaded

Fri 11:00 - 12:00: Jing Demo (5 mins)

Fri 11:00 - 12:00: Railo Demo (10 mins)

Sat 9:45-10:45: CFEclipse Reloaded

Sat 2:45-3:45: ColdSpring: Better living through configuration

You might ask what the Jing and Railo Demo's are about, well, you are just going to have to turn up and find out! :)

Hope to see you all there!

For those of you who attended my FreshAir presentation at Scotch on the Rocks, firstly, an apology about the wireless. My presentation was going swimmingly until I hit a problem with the firewall that stopped "json" requests to twitter, which meant that you couldn't see the listing coming through!

I have posted my code here for you to have a look at as well as the presentation itself so you can work your way through it.

Let me know what you think! And I hope at least, problems notwithstanding, that you enjoyed the presentation and found it useful!

Unzip the sample code and use Eclipse's/Aptana Studio's "Import... -> Existing Projects" feature to get it going. Attachments:

• FreshAir 2008 Presentation
• sotr_air sample code

Tomorrow I shall be heading to Edinburgh for the fantastic Scotch on the Rocks conference.

I know Andy Allan has been working really hard to get this conference going and last year's event was a real blast!

This year I shall be presenting a couple of topics, ColdSpring: Better Living through Configuration and a new topic which is FreshAIR: Developing Adobe AIR applications using Aptana Studio. This makes a change to my usual CFEclipse presentations and I have been working hard on making them both informative and entertaining (no, no juggling... sorry!)

I am really looking forward to meeting some old friends as well as new ones! So come and say hello!
