cf.Objective(ANZ) all set to go

Thu, 15 Jul 2010 20:39:00 +1000

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.

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.

Speaking at Webinale in Berlin in June

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 19:27:00 +1000

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).

Speaking at WebDU

Mon, 18 May 2009 11:24:00 +1000

Later this week I'll be speaking at the WebDU conference in Sydney Australia. A practical guide to connecting hardware to Flex This session will look at the revolution in low cost easy to program embedded computing. We will focus on the arduino open source hardware and software platform and zigbee network modules and how both of these can be easily connected up to Flex. You can find out more here. After the talk I will be posting my slides and the code on this blog.
