Looking for some live, hands-on ColdFusion and/or Flex training and education? Then you'll want to attend BFusion/BFlex 2010. The event is hosted in Bloomington, Indiana at none other than the Indiana University campus! The event will be held Saturday, September 11, 2010 and Sunday, September 12, 2010. Mark your calendars now and be sure to visit their web site for additional details and registration information.

For those who might be curious, I've thrown my name in the hat to present (again) on Mura CMS. I'm not certain if I'll be speaking or not yet, but I plan on attending either way. So if you're interested in learning more about Mura CMS live, in-person and hands-on, be sure to check back here for details on that. If you have any suggestions on what you would like to know about Mura, feel free to leave your comments for me here too.

Hope to see you there! Peace.

So, you couldn't make it to cf.Objective() 2010 ... or if you did make it, and for whatever reason, you weren't able to attend the Pecha Kucha BOF and you really wanted to see my presentation ... ok, not really want to see it, but kinda sorta wanted to see it ... then you're in luck! Thanks to Michael Canonigo, my presentation and most of the other ones, were recorded and preserved for future generations to see ... and laugh at.

You can find my presentation at http://www.youtube.com/stephenwithington#p/a/f/0/9OXeMqTULVg. Bob Silverberg has posted links to all of the other presentations on his blog too. Speaking of who, a huge thanks goes out to Bob Silverberg for putting this BOF together!

I ended up spending much more time on preparing and planning for this presentation than I initially thought I would ... primarily because of the strict timing requirements of a Pecha Kucha. That said, I would most definitely do it again! I hope everyone else had as much fun as I did ... I thoroughly enjoyed the diversity of topics and thought that everyone who participated did a great job.

Thanks also to everyone who attended as well and and cheered us on! Hopefully, we can do this again next year.

Cheers!

If you're attending cf.Objective() 2010, you might be interested in a Birds of a Feather (BOF) on Friday, April 23 at 8:00 P.M. Bob Silverberg will be hosting a Pecha Kucha Night which will consist of around nine or so presentations. Each presentation is limited to 6 minutes 40 seconds and will consist of 20 slides, with each slide shown for 20 seconds.

This should be a fun BOF and will definitely cover a varying degree of subject matter. To the best of my knowledge though, most of the presentations will be about ColdFusion and other 'techie' topics ... which is why I've chosen to break things up a bit and give a presentation on something else I enjoy: beer.

That's right, I said it (or typed it actually), I'll be giving a presentation on beer. I'm still putting it all together at the moment, but I'll be attempting to cover at least some of the major milestones in the wonderful history of beer as well as a few other bits of information. It's amazing how quickly 6 minutes and 40 seconds passes by, so this will definitely be a challenge for me.

So if you're able to, please stop by and enjoy the fun. After it's all over, maybe you'll consider joining me for a pint!
