Slowly but surely I’ll release a series of posts covering content from presentations I’ve given online and at Adobe events during the past few months.
Some of the content includes:
- Using Flex with PHP
- Branded applications with AIR
- Showcasing local industry applications (customer presentations)
- Using ColdFusion messaging gateways with Flex
- Integrating MS Exchange with ColdFusion and Flex
We’ve also just finished a 4 city tour around Australia with CFCAMP where I introduced Microsoft Exchange server integration and how to bring this into Flex and AIR.
Slides and demo files for everything over the past month and more will come shortly.
Enjoy!
EDIT (12/12/07) - I’m currently traveling in the US so there’s been some delays in tidying up the demos… but they’ll be ready in time for Christmas!

In the coming weeks get set for a FREE mini-conference for ColdFusion developers by ColdFusion developers. And better yet we’ll have renowned ColdFusion expert Ben Forta joining us along side long time CF’ers Mark Blair, Nick Watson (UK) and the many community experts here in Oz.
Here you’ll see more than just ColdFusion. How about powering your Flex applications and targeting desktop applications with ColdFusion? I think it’s sounds like a winning combination! And that’s exactly what i’ll be presenting on.
Interested in learning more? You’ll want to be there - REGISTER NOW!
Event dates:
Check out the wiki, vote for the community driven sessions, and come along and network with other developers interested in the latest for the Web, RIAs and desktop apps with AIR.
Hope to see you there (whether that’s in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne or Perth)!

A very special thanks to everyone who came across from the US and abroad to present at either one or both of the events. We really appreciate your time and efforts!
