WebManiacs Conference

I'll be presenting in two sessions at the upcoming WebManiacs 2008 conference in Washington. D.C.

WebManiacs 2008 will be held May 19-23. I've been asked to present on Yahoo UI controls (and other assorted goodness) and Salesforce integration (ColdFusion and Flex). These will be all new talks. as both topics have changed considerably in the last year.

The YUI talk will focus on the components as well as some of the supporting tools that make cross-browser development far less of a chore (their 'reset' script alone is a godsend). Plenty to cover there. but we'll also get in to the "how" of integration so you can get started quickly.

Salesforce continues its romp through the CRM marketplace. pushing harder into the application marketplace by constantly updating and upgrading their integration platform. My presentation at cf.Objective() last year was aimed exclusively at Flex. This year we're going to hit on integration with ColdFusion primarily. as that would be a more natural entry point for many developers. Lots to talk about. undoubtedly leaving you (the attendee) full of ideas for using a blend of someone else's hard work (Salesforce) and your own genius (you CF guru. you!) to make yourself fantastically wealthy. Or at least able to pay the mortgage.

So make your plans to visit DC in May. Then go back a month later for CFUNITED!
