I just found out that I'll be speaking again this year at cf.Objective(), the premier Enterprise level ColdFusion developers conference, the week of April 22-24 . I'll be presenting on "What's New in Adobe AIR 2.0" and reviewing many of the new features Adobe will be putting out with AIR 2.0, code-named Athena. Functionality like support for the detection of mass storage devices, advanced networking capabilities like secure sockets, UDP support, and the ability to listen on sockets, support for native code integration, new APIs for access to raw microphone data, and global error handling. Its gonna be great!

During this year's cfObjective() I was invited to participate in one of Brian Meloche's CFConversation's podcasts. It's just been released and is available for your listening enjoyment over at the CFConversations website. That is all.

I'd like to start off by saying thanks to everyone who came out for my session on jQuery and AIR on Saturday morning. I had a great time presenting, and I hope that you learned something from me. As promised, here's a link to download all of the presentation files, as well as my slide deck.

So I'm back at home after a whirlwind 4 days at cf.Objective(). Let me just tell you that it was awesome. This was a week of firsts for me. First time at cf.Objective(), first time speaking at a conference, first time being included in the conversations and happenings of all of the "cool kids", and first time in a while being away for my family for more than a day.

Big thanks to everyone who came out to the iPhone / mobile application development birds of a feather session at cf.Objective. HUGE thanks to Lawrence at Apress, and Betsy at O'reilly who bent over backwards to get us material to give away at our session. As promised, here's a list of some of the resources that Dan, Josh, and myself came up with. Please feel free to add your resources in the comments.

I'll be in Minneapolis next week for the cf.Objective() conference. I've heard that there are some pretty good disc golf courses in the area and I wanted to see if anyone might be interested in playing a round or two while I'm there. If you're interested, post a comment and let's talk.

Joshua Cyr, Dan Vega, and myself will be leading the iPhone development BoF at this year's cf.Objective() conference. If you're planning on attending, and have an interest in developing apps for the iPhone platform then come hang out with us at 7pm on Friday the 15th. If you're on the fence about whether to come to the conference, then maybe knowing that other developers, just like yourself, are interested in building iPhone apps will tip the scales. Come join us at cf.Objective().

About 2 months ago, a friend of mine and I got into an animated discussion about iPhone development. Now I don't have one, but my manager Aaron West once called me the "most knowledgeable non-iPhone owner in the world". I follow the news, the announcements, and even watched the entire iPhone 3.0 OS coverage live. In multiple browser windows. Anyway, my friend has this idea for an iPhone application. The market is niche, but releasing it into the App Store could make both of us some money, plus it would help me gain valuable skills that are uber hot right now

I just found out last night that I'll be speaking at cf.Objective() this year. The title of my presentation will be "jQuery & AIR - Desktop Development for the Front End Designer"! I know, I know...I'm super excited too. I've spoken at ColdFusion User Group meetings before, I've led Lunch-n-Learns at my company, but this will be the first time I've spoken at a respected conference and I'm totally stoked. In addition to speaking this year, this will be my first chance to experience the conference as well as Minneapolis itself. This year looks like it will be amazing. The list of speakers is a who's who of ColdFusion developers. I just wanted to publicly thank Nic Tunney and the cf.Objective() board for approving my presentation. I promise it'll be great!
