Why I might not come to CFCamp :-(

by kai on 10/09/2012

About 1 month ago, I posted about CFCamp in Germany. Along with praising the efforts of Michi Hnat, the main organiser of CFCamp, I also said that I was going to attend, present at CFCamp and run workshops during the event's CFAcademy. One might wonder why I'm now considering not going. Basically it comes down to a combination of two things: The lack of bookings for CFAcademy workshops My…

CFML - alive and kicking at CFCamp and CFAcademy in Germany

by kai on 06/08/2012

Quite often one is told that ColdFusion is dead, old and proprietary. That's actually not quite true even though I can see where people are coming from - ColdFusion doesn't seem to be as posh and fancy as the poster children of web development such as Rails and Node. Fair enough. However, there's more to CFML than just only Adobe ColdFusion. A lot of people don't even know that there are two well…

Why would anyone travel from New Zealand to Kansas City, MO? D2WC!

by kai on 08/01/2012

The short answer is: for D2WC 2012. Let me briefly explain: D2WC is a conference about and for designers, developers, hybrid and the famous designer-developer workflow. It will go into its third iteration in 2012 and after Dee Sadler was originally trying to get me involved with the event already in 2010, I finally went in 2011 and had a great time over there (you can find my 2011 talk on…

30 days of me - day 9

by kai on 17/09/2010

Another late one - I really need to prepare a few more for next week in advance during the weekend, I suppose.

Today's topic is "Something I'm proud of in the past few days"... Probably the thing that comes to mind was pulling off Flash Platform Camp for the second time now in 2010 about two weeks ago together with Diane and Ross. Other than that in the last few days and weeks - lots of business as usual - as boring as it might sound :-)
