The workshops, sessions and speakers have been announced for cf.Objective(ANZ) and it's going to be a fantastic conference. It's being held in Melbourne Australia on the 17th (workshops), 18th and 19th of November.

I'll be giving a talk on ColdFusion security and risk analysis and showing how you can decide on what security features are effective and that you should implement on your project.

I'll also be running a one day hands on workshop on the open source Arduino platform and how you can hook it up to Flex and ColdFusion. By the end of the day you'll have a basic understanding of electronics components, digital and anolog inputs and outputs, how to use the Arduino platform and how it can communicate with the outside world.

Kai Koening is running a workshop on Flex 4 for ColdFusion developers and Charlie Arehart is running a workshop on solving ColdFusion performance and reliability issues.

Early bird pricing ends 31st of August. It's cheaper than last year so you have no excuse not to come along.

Here is the code and a pdf of the slides of my talk on bringing RIAs hardware together at Webinale in Berlin Germany.

Flex code for all the demos and Arduino code for the demos.

Here is the code and a pdf of the slides of my talk on connecting hardware to ColdFusion at cf.Objective() in Minneapolis USA.

ColdFusion code (including the Arduino and Socket CFCs) for all the demos and Arduino code for the demos.

The Arduino ColdFusion socket code is up on RIA Forge.

I'll be giving a talk on open source hardware and the Arduino platform at the Web Standards Group in Sydney on the 24th February.

If you want know more about the Ardunio platform and how easy it is to connect open source hardware to the internet come along.

I'll be speaking about Arduinos and RIAs at Webinale in Berlin in June. Thanks goes to Kai Koening who's organising the RIA stream for the conference.

I've not been to Germany before and don't speak a word of German so it's going to be an interesting experience and i'm looking forward to it. The tracks and sessions are starting to fill out. Some of them (including mine) will be in English (thankfully).

Here is the code and a pdf of the slides of my talk on putting your (arduino) device in the browser and on the web at linux.conf.au 2010 as part of the arduino mini conference in Wellington New Zealand.

Here is the LED code, the Pebble code and the Ethernet code for the demos. The pebble code demo were run with a standard version of firmata running on the adruino which was plugged into the pebble shield.
