ColdFusion on tour – SOTR Europe

by Serge Jespers on 07. Sep, 2009 in ColdFusion, Events

coldfusion.jpg-jpeg-image-253x250-pixels-1.jpgAfter a very successful and fun tour though the UK, SOTR is now going to mainland Europe. Most of you  know that my love for ColdFusion is growing with every project I do using it. I think you can really only appreciate ColdFusion after getting a taste of it and SOTR is the perfect place to get that taste. With SOTR Europe being a free event, there really is no excuse to not be there. ;-)

Hope to see you in Munich, Zurich, Milan, Amsterdam, Brussels or London!

Ready for June! SOTR, FlashCamp Warsaw, UG Dublin, Tel Aviv, Cannes Lions, FATL

by Serge Jespers on 29. May, 2009 in Events

From a travel perspective, June is going to be a little bit nuts… Just a little bit ;-) But with so many really cool events, June is also going to be lots of fun! I hope to see you at one of these events!

Scotch On The Road – June 1st > 5th – London, Manchester, Edinburgh, UK

ColdFusion is alive and kicking and if you think otherwise, I would advise you to come to SOTR! In my session I’m going to build a fully working app starting from an Illustrator file with Flash Catalyst, Flash Builder 4 and ColdFusion! There are still some tickets left, so I hope to see you there!

Flash Camp Warsaw – June 9th – Warsaw, Poland

Flash Camps are probably the best way to keep up to date with the Flash Platform. I remember having a great time in Warsaw last year on the On Air Train Tour so I’m really looking forward going back to Poland.

Adobe User Group Dublin – June 11th – Dublin, Ireland

I love visiting user groups and it’s going to be my first time in Dublin. I’ll be talking about Flash Catalyst, Flash Builder 4 and even a little bit of ColdFusion 9.

Adobe Event – June 15th – Tel Aviv, Israel

I think this is the first Adobe event in Israel. I’ll be talking about Flash Player, AIR, Flash for mobile, Flash Catalyst and Flash Builder.

Cannes Lions – June 21th > 25th – Cannes, France

Steve Ballmer, Kofi Annan, Barack Obama’s campaign manager David Plouffe, Google’s Eric Schmidt and me… That’s an impressive speaker list ;-) I’m actually doing an inspirational workshop together with Paul Burnett. Both of us will also be around to help out at the Young Lions competition.

Flash At The Lake – June 26th > 27th – Zurich, Switzerland

The speaker list for this very first edition of Flash At The Lake is very impressive. Tickets are still available!

ColdFusion rocks! Come see for yourself at SOTR.

by Serge Jespers on 11. Mar, 2009 in ColdFusion, Events

ColdFusionYes… I know… It may be a little bit strange to read this on my PHP driven WordPress blog but hear me out for a second. I used to be like many of you. I used to think that ColdFusion could not even touch the capabilities of PHP and I’m sure many of you still think that. But have you really seen the power of ColdFusion up close and personal? Have you downloaded the developer version and played with it for a while? Well, I did and it blew me away. I always find it so amazing to see that CF can do the same task in only a fraction of the code needed in other languages.

You really have to see it and/or play with it before you can really appreciate the power of ColdFusion. Scotch On The Rocks, the ColdFusion conference, is giving you the opportunity to do just that. They’re going to try and reach out to the non-CFMLers and see if they can’t offer them a little incentive to give CFML a go. They’re offering 10 tickets for each location to JSP/PHP/.NET/Rails developers to come along and see what all the fuss is, for absolutely zero cost.

Come and see the power of ColdFusion yourself!

PS: I am now working on a super-secret project powered by ColdFusion. So yes… I do use ColdFusion these days!
