If you have any doubts about assisting the next Ajax Seminar, DONT! It was a wonderful experience, and if the great speakers lineup wasn't enough, the amount of networking is worth it alone.
I hope to see you all in San Jose next month, or New York back in June.
I just booked my hotel for the Sping <br /> conference 2006. It's probably the best bang for your buck ever! For $25 you get a full day of four different tracks: Designing & User Experience, Programming &
Development, 3D Gaming, and Adobe & Related Products, including lunch! How can you go wrong? If you're in the South East Ohio area, you CANNOT miss this one.
see you all there.
CFUnited just posted the list of pre-conference classes. I will be teaching an Ajax Intensive For ColdFusion Developers. If you have a chance, do not miss this hot topic! The session will teach you to implement Ajax from the ground up, providing you all the fundations to successfully deploy secure and robust Ajax sites/components.
CU214 - Ajax intensive for ColdFusion Developers
Ajax, Web 2.0, RIAs, single-page-applications are just a few buzzwords that every developer needs to know in 2006. Learn the history of Ajax, what it means to you, why you should pay attention, who is using it, what is available, and how to implement it. This session will get you up to speed with Ajax, compare the different existing frameworks, and provide you helpful tips of do’s and do not’s with Ajax.
Learn how to enrich your users experience by the use of AJAX. Examples start at --hello world-- and build up all the way to object oriented MVC applications. By the end of this session, you will know how to enhance your site through simple AJAX widgets or build full AJAX application including enhanced security and debugging techniques. Learn common mistakes such as delegating business logic to the client side, and learn to avoid them by keeping your logic in the server and loading scripts on-demand.

I already booked my CFUnited room, but for those who haven't check the following information that was provided by Joshua Cyr
It turns out that Marriott is booked solid. Doh! I just did some research. There is a very close hotell called Park Inn Rockville, but it is being closed permenantly next week.Joshua, thanks for looking out.
The two others that seem within walking distance are the DoubleTree and Ramada Inn. The Ramada in is only $125 a night (give or take), where the Doubletree was about $225.
CFUnited here I come! Just made my reservation at the lovely Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center; well, assuming ;) I’ve never been there.
