February 2011 Meeting: cfWheels presented by John C Bland II

 

Our old friend John C Bland II (http://www.fastkast.com) will be presenting on the ColdFusion Framework cfWheels (http://cfwheels.org)

cfWheels is one of my favorite new ColdFusion frameworks, built around the idea that frameworks should make our lives easier and conventions over configuration files (no XML files!)

John is one of our best speakers and one of the smartest guys on the planet. I highly recommend attending. He will be presenting via Adobe Acrobat Connect from Texas, so if you REALLY can't be with us for the meeting shoot me an email and I'll send the meeting room URL once we have it setup.

If you can make it in person, please shoot me(alan.rother [at] gmail dot com) a quick RSVP email so I can get a headcount for Pizza.

Here is the Acrobat Connect link for the meeting if you cannot make it in person

End of Year Contest

It's nearing the end of the year and lives get busy and time starts to run short. As much as we'd lov to have another meeting this year, it just doesn't look like we'll have time. So instead we've decided to have what should be a fun little contest that anyone should be able to participate in. It doesn't matter if you're the most advanced programmer in town or a total newbie still working on your first application. You can enter this contest, it shouldn't take more than an hour of your time.

Reminder - cfdevcamp is this weekend!

Hey Everyone,

Just a quick reminder, cfdevcamp Phoenix is THIS Saturday! (November 13th, 2010)

If you know anyone interested in learning ColdFusion or you want to come out and brush up on your skills, heck even if you just want to come hang out. It's going to be a great time.
