Just a quick reminder for the South Florida people: I'll be speaking tomorrow at the CFUG, topic, more on Ajax. You'll have a chance to get the best from the last few conferences I've been, especially, the Ajax Experience, which was fantastic! Hope to see you all there.
If you didn't assist to my last session please get the slides here, and if you wish to be prepared and ask nice questions, you may find enclosed the slides I'll use tomorrow.
It's been a while since my last ajaxCFC update, but my last release had a small bug when running in Blue Dragon. It seems like the getMetaData function doesn't behave exactly the same, so thanks to Vience's help I fixed it to work with BD too.
I also have a port for the Mach II framework coming really soon thanks to Dan Wilson. Don't you love open source projects?
It's been almost two weeks since I left ... and there've been great. I spent the first few days at the Ajax Experience... what a show! let me tell you: the best organized show I've talked or assisted. Props to Jay Zimmerman, he did an outstanding job. I spent most of the time there perhaps networking, rather than at the sessions, which I will still be able to catch later in an on-demand webcast. I met great people btw... it had a great attendance.
Changing topics, during my absence, my CFUnited Class sold out... that's right ... if you didn't register yet, I'm sorry... it's too late... Hopefully CFUnited will allow me to post some of the material here, if not, I may disguise some of it ;)
Other news, blogCFC 5.0 is officially out and I'm planning to upgrade soon, maybe this weekend.
CFUnited is blogging too; nothing much going on yet, but stay tooned for important information.
I'm speaking next week at the South Florida CFUG. Topic, more Ajax ... I'll start where I left off in my last session in February.
I'll have a CFLive session in a couple of weeks... briefly showing what I have planned for CFUnited... I hope to see you all there.
That's it for now, more tomorrow.
Cheers.
I'll be out for a few days for the Ajax Experience. The conference looks great and I'm really looking forward to meet some West Coast Ajax Gurus, which I haven't had a chance yet. I'm staying an extra couple of days, so if you're in the Bay area, drop me an email or stop by the conference.
I'll post my slides and a small review after the conference is over; probably this weekend.
For those of you who don't read other ColdFusion blogs (shame on you, hehe), you should know that Flex 2 Beta 3 was released today and it is available on Labs. If you are a CF Developer and you don't know what Flex is, do yourself a favor and download it. If you were waiting for a good time to get it, now is the time ... I would expect the final release to come out sometime, more towards the end, of June.f
The JavaScript Motion Tween library was based on the ActionScript tweening library... it's really nice; allows for easing, color morphing, opacity, text tweening...
At first sight, it's an amazing class. I still have to test it for performance... anyways, check out all these examples... they did a great job.
I will be giving a short presentation on my CFUnited Pre-Conference AJAX class, which is almost sold out btw: only 7 seats left.
This is United Coldfusion Meetup Day

NETGEAR today announced pricing information and pre-order availability for the new NETGEAR Skype WiFi phone (model SPH101). This will be the first device said to be certified to make mobile Internet telephony a reality for Skype users worldwide. The phone can be pre-ordered now exclusively online at an MSRP of $249.99.
The SPH101 is the first Skype-Certified device to allow consumers to make unlimited free domestic and international calls to other Skype users over a wireless network without having to be tied to a PC. The WiFi phone will work anywhere in the world where a user has a secured or open access to a WiFi network.
The device comes pre-loaded with Skype software and ready out-of-the-box to use with a wireless network. The device's intuitive on-screen color menu shows saved Skype contacts and their online availability for easy communications, similar to the PC experience.
Too bad that the phone does not allow you to connect to any SIP proxy; I would be buying a dozen.

A Microsoft development team has announced the beta of its Windows Live Shopping site, "built on 100% AJAX technology".
The site was built using the newest M$ Ajax Framework, called Atlas. The framework looks promising, with nice event handlers, activity indicators, uri state changes to allow bookmarking and back/forward buttons, BUT, it only works with IE thus far.... I remember that Microsoft announced that Atlas will work with all browsers, it just had to be hosted in a Windows .net environment ... I guess they're just not ready yet.
