I am back from WebDU and already seem to miss my time spent at Sydney and the conference at Darling Harbor. First up, here’s the presentation from my talk.

WebDU was one fun conference with loads of stuff happening each day. It was definitely a rock concert for geeks. Cartoon pics for all the speakers, the innovative trading card game, the videos from Nectarine, all made it look like WebDU was not just another conference but something more. This was my cartoon pic. Though it looks more like MJ of the 80s, I still like the cartoon

There was a big presence of ColdFusion users among the audience which was good to see. Also got to interact with Mark Mandel for the first time and lot of other ColdFusion guys. The speaker party at Geoff’s place was a perfect end to the conference. Got to speak to a lot more whom I could not meet at the conference. Also met Minty and James from the Nectarine team.

Sydney was one cool place and I can even go to the extent of rating it as the best City I have been to so far. I made sure that I run each day around the city in the morning to enjoy every bit of Sydney. On the last day of my stay in Sydney, I was running near the Opera House. I saw someone running towards me with an intent to meet me. I went to him and soon realized that he was one of the audience of my talk at the conference. He said he enjoyed my talk the best and wished me good luck. I could not have asked for more, Sydney!

Just finished my Ajax Talk at the WebDU conference in Sydney. I enjoyed presenting to a lovely audience at the beautiful Darling Harbor.

Thank you all for the nice feedback on the talk. I really enjoyed presenting to you. I wanted to upload my presentation right away, but there is some issue with the font I have used in my presentation. Not able to convert into a proper PDF file. I will fix that and update it soon.

Thanks again!

Am off to Sydney for the WebDU conference. All excited to be there at WebDU and speak about ColdFusion.

I will be starting tomorrow. Will stop over at Singapore for a couple of days and then head for Sydney for the conference. See you there!

I will be speaking at the WebDU conference in sydney happening between the 12th and 13th of June.

SIIA announced the winners of the 2008 codie awards. ColdFusion 8 was named the winner in the Web Services solution category. http://www.siia.net/codies/2008/winners.asp

Three cheers for ColdFusion 8!

ColdFusion 8.0.1 is now available! ColdFusion 8.0.1 provides full 64 bit support for windows, Mac, Linux and Solaris. There are whole lot of bug fixes and minor enhancements.

Check out the FAQ and Release Notes. 

There are quite a lot of bug fixes and upgrades on the Ajax feature set as well. FCKEditor is on 2.5, which means that the rich text editor will now work on safari as well. It is much simpler to get the file upload and spell checker working on the rich text editor. Check out the docs for that. Ext is on 1.1, YUI is on 2.3 and Spry is on 1.6. Do check it out.

 

I just finished my Ajaxified Talk in the morning out here in London. Have got a repeat talk of mine shorly. The feedback from the audience was really good. Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. I could see that it got a lot of people excited about Ajax support in ColdFusion.

Before I head for my talk again I thought I will put up my updated presentation on my blog. Here it is. I will be posting the sample examples/ applications soon. Thank you!

I will be catching the flight to London early tomorrow to attend CFUnited Europe. I am reaching a couple of days early to spend some time with some of my friends in London. I am all excited to be a part of CFUnited Europe and speak on ColdFusion Ajax. It also happens to be my birthday on the 13th while I am at the conference. So this conference is going to be a special one for me. See you there at CFUnited Europe!

It’s been more than an year for me working in the ColdFusion Engineering Team. Frankly, I had no idea about ColdFusion till I joined Adobe. I was always a 100% java guy. As I put it in my very first post, I was impressed with ColdFusion the first time I used it and built an app. From then on I always wanted to learn more about ColdFusion and take up the ColdFusion Certification someday.

And today turned out to be that day. I decided a few days ago to take up the ColdFusion MX7 Developer Exam and started preparing for it in my hardly available spare time. It was worth the effort as I just managed to get past 85% mark to be certified as an advanced ColdFusion developer. Am eagerly waiting for my certificate to arrive.

We are working hard on our research for Centaur, trying to come up with yet another solid version of ColdFusion. This is your chance to let us know what you would like to see more in you favorite language.
