I will present the topic 'Designing & Architecturing Multilingual (i18N) Applications' at upcoming cf.Objective() 2009 conference at Minneapolis, MN between May 14-16, 2009.

Here is the excerpt about my presentation:

This presentation will explain the steps of designing and architecturing multilingual applications and methods in ColdFusion with best practices. The main goals will be explaining the structure of multilingual applications, defining requirements and solutions, and providing best practices with code samples.

Explaining the theory for i18N (internationalization), L10N (localization), g11N (globalization) and other known approaches, defining opportunities to create effective solutions such as Java platform tools usage or designing better database or setting up your environment to make multilingual applications easier to write are some of the topics.

If you have interest to learn more about multilingual approaches on software development with some sample code in ColdFusion, you are always welcomed to attend my presentation.

See you there ...

This is just a reminder that we have our OCDev meeting tonight with the topic ColdBox.

Thanks that we have the first voice on the topic with Luis Majano at our meeting and the meeting will start at 6:30 PM.

We are going to have our next meeting at this Wednesday at OCDev.

The topic is Sava CMS which is one of the popular CMS (Content Management System) solutions in ColdFusion world.

You can get the default installation version as Sava Standard or Railo embedded Sava Express version which runs directly out of the box.

The other good stuff is that Sava CMS is an open source project and you can use it base on GPL 2 license.

If you have not tried Sava CMS, I definitely would suggest checking it out on http://gosava.com.

If you have interested the topic, you are welcome to our OCDev meeting and you can get details on our OCDev website http://ocdev.org.

See you ...
