This will be our first meeting under the new format. In case you missed the lead-up discussions, we have combined the ColdFusion User Group and Melbourne Flex User Group to reflect the on-going convergence of interest among the two communities. Going forward we will be open to presentations on any of Adobe's technologies relevant to developers, remaining primarily focussed on ColdFusion, Flex/AS3.
Presentation 1. Phil Haeusler Watch how you can integrate server-side geolocation into your forms. Prefill your Country field to save your customers the hassle of needing to scroll through the official list of the 248 countries. You can even go further and prefill State, Suburb and Postcode to further improve their experience. Server-side geolocation even allows you to return location-aware results - learn how search results can be tailored to the end-user's location to provide them with top results that are more likely appropriate to them. Demonstrations will integrate GeoIP with ColdFusion and a Flex front end. Phil is a long-time ColdFusion developer and administrator and has a deep understanding of how ColdFusion does what it does. He consults to many varied organisations around ColdFusion, Flex and the larger Adobe product stack and advocates best practice approaches to development methodologies, testing and deployment security. He is a long time RocketBoots partner and CodeWar quizmaster. Presentation 2. Mark Mandel Develop, test, and deploy Adobe® ColdFusion® applications faster than ever with new features in Adobe ColdFusion Builder™ 2 software that improve productivity, control, and extensibility. Work more efficiently with enhanced coding tools, advanced code refactoring, code formatting, custom keyboard shortcuts, and more. Take advantage of more robust extensibility with new extensible code insight and ColdFusion framework support. Some features of CF10 will also be revealed at the end of this presentation. Mark Mandel is a full time consultant and lead developer on several open source projects, most notably ColdSpring, JavaLoader, Transfer ORM and ColdDoc and has been working with ColdFusion for a number of years, including at his very own dot com back in the late 90's. Mark can often be found blogging at www.compoundtheory.com, which has housed his thoughts on ColdFusion, Java and various aspects of software development for several years. He can also be found as a regular poster on ColdFusion mailing lists, causing havoc in the #coldfusion channel on Dalnet irc network and podcasting on www.2ddu.com. When he's not too busy writing open source software and consulting he enjoys spending his extra time training martial arts in a wide variety of disciplines and reading way too much fantasy literature.
