I just got word from Liz at TeraTech that my
Event-Driven Programming in ColdFusion talk has proved popular enough that it will be repeated on Saturday (yes, CFUNITED has posted its Saturday schedule!).
So come along and hear me talk at 1:30pm on Thursday (6/19) or 8:30am on Saturday (6/21)!
As is traditional, CFUNITED is publishing brief interviews with all of their speakers. My interview
about event-driven programming in ColdFusion has just been published today. I mention Edmund briefly and I'll be blogging more about that in due course. Since the interviewed was "recorded" I have indeed started using Edmund at Broadchoice to manage the workflows in our scheduled tasks.

Following my tradition that conferences are only real once my flights are booked, both Scotch and CFUNITED just became reality for me.
$3,800. Ouch!
That's return flights for me and my wife for SFO/LHR and SFO/DCA. With cfDevCon later in the year, plus several more cat show flights to book, at least we'll both be Premier flyers on United next year!
See you at cf.Objective() in early May? Or Scotch in early June? Or CFUNITED later in June?
By the way, today is the last day for the guaranteed hotel price for cf.Objective() so if you haven't registered and booked your hotel, you might want to get on that tonight!

If you're thinking of signing up for
CFUNITED 2008, you might want to do so before the end of the month. The price right now for the 4 day conference is $999. After March 31st, that goes up to $1099 so you can save yourself $100 by registering by Monday!

I just confirmed with TeraTech that I'll be giving two talks at CFUNITED this year. In addition to "Event-Driven Programming in ColdFusion", I will also be taking over Sandy Clark's "
Driving Fusebox 5.5" talk.
January 1, 2008
Just a reminder that CFUNITED's early bird price ($899 for four days, $799 for three days, $249 for Saturday only) expires this week on the 5th, after which the price goes up by $100 ($50 for the Saturday only price). You can read about the
current rates and packages as well as the
full price list - including discounts for alumni, user group members/managers and so on.

TeraTech have just announced the first few topics in the
frameworks track and my talk "Event-Driven Programming in ColdFusion" is on the list.
We're starting to see a lot of interest in event-driven programming because Flex demands it, AJAX uses it to some extent and some popular application frameworks use this approach (ColdBox, Mach-II, Model-Glue). This talk looks at expanding this technique to other aspects of ColdFusion programming. If Flex looks alien to you, this talk should let you get your head around the techniques in a familiar environment, helping you get ready for Flex.
I've also submitted this to Scotch on the Rocks 2008.
I submitted a second topic to CFUNITED 2008 (and Scotch on the Rocks) that covers dynamic programming techniques. I don't know whether that will be accepted for either conference but if it isn't and there's enough interest, I may go ahead and write it up for user groups or online presentation.

CFUnited Express is coming to the Bay Area, most likely in early November. Speakers are being confirmed but will include several "big names" in the community from all over the country. And you get me too - because I'm local. TeraTech are still working out details for the location so keep watching the CFUnited Express web site. Remember that the cost of CFUnited Express can be discounted against the cost of next year's CFUnited which gives you a chance to spread the costs which might be easier for your budget.
