Recording for ColdBox more than MVC presentation

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:50:46 +0000

Entry by Sid Maestre

Hi Everyone,

I've posted the recording from October's meeting. It's Luis Majano presenting on the ColdBox framework.

If you are unfamiliar with how ColdBox works, this is a good primer.

Reminder: Bay Area ColdFusion User Group this Wednesday

Entry by Sid Maestre

We'll be learning about the ColdBox Framework. Just in time for myself. I've got a request to setup a wiki, so it looks like CodexWiki is built on ColdBox is the best open source option out there for CF Developers.

BADDAUG, SILVFUG and San Flashcisco groups are meeting on Wednesday as well. They are going out for drinks at the Cheiftain irish bar http://www.thechieftain.com/ after. So, for those who make it out to BACFUG, if you want to grab a drink I'll be heading over to the Cheiftain after the meeting.

Don't forget to register for ColdFusion DevCamp on November 7th. We are less than three weeks away. http://www.cfdevcamp.org

Model-Glue Training... Any Interest? (1 Comment)

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:37:50 +0000

Entry by Sid Maestre

Dan Wilson just blogged on the Model-Glue site about the idea of doing an intensive training over 2 days (weekend) on Model-Glue 3.

From Dan's Blog....
"We've been knocking around the idea of a roving Model Glue training center. We've already done this in Claremont, CA to members of the Inland Empire ColdFusion User Group and folks got a lot out of it. That particular course was done over a single day, to prove out the material and to be useful to the IECFUG.

For the next phase, the vision would be to travel to an area and run a practical, intense training in OO and Model-Glue 3 over a weekend.

Please comment on this post and let me know if you would attend a ModelGlue 3 Workshop for a weekend. If so, how much should we charge to cover Dan's travel costs/food for the event, etc.?

Tom and Jon the organizers from 360Flex are hosting a two day in-depth Flex training.

More info at http://www.360flexpress.com/

Date: November 7 and 8. Yes, this is the same weekend of ColdFusion DevCamp. Tom and Jon appologize for the conflict. But, look at it this way. We've got so many great events going on that they are starting to overlap. :-)
