I'd like to thank Luis Majano from taking time from his busy schedule to come speak to about ColdBox. We would also like to thank Paladin for sponsoring our meeting, providing plenty of pizza and drinks for all.
Marlon Monsalve started off our meeting by Skyping in from their Dallas office and telling us a little about who they are and what they do. To sum it up, Paladin wants to be a resource to developers, rather than just a "head-hunter". Check them out at http://www.paladin-inc.com if you're in the market for a gig or a developer. A natural teacher, Luis started off asking questions, giving away plenty of Coldbox-branded swag. He quickly jumped into his presentation, where he showed us everything that ColdBox can do. We're talking more than "Hello World!" .... he showed off ColdBox's built in caching, ORM integaration, modules, dependency injection, and more. Excellent stuff - we hope to have Luis back in the future to show us more, since there's a good chance he'll be much closer in the relatively near future. :-) Looking forward: In August, we'll take a break from "normal" meetings, and have a social/networking meeting, or as we like to call it, a "BeerFUG". Location and date to be announced. In September, Ken Auenson will talk HTML 5 (technically that doesn't exist anymore, since they decided to drop version numbers, but we'll stick with it for sanity's sake). He'll focus on the SQLite implementation in HTML 5 - the ability to store data client-side, and access it via client-side SQL.Location and date are subject to change, but tentatively will be at our current location, September 14, 6:45 pm. October and beyond: Up in the air. I may do a talk on architecting for and deploying to the Amazon cloud. Hopefully we'll have a new version of ColdFusion to discuss. :-) Want to shine?
