We are getting a nice and informative conference here at Minneapolis, MN. We all know topics are great and everything is as we expected. But what I really like is having very interesting and informative conversations between sessions and free times. Probably it is the most enjoyable part of cf.Objective() for me. Getting new ideas, sharing suggestions,thinking together about same problems are really an interactive learning and fun for me.

Tomorrow I will present my i18N topic and it was nice to get some questions before my presentation. I just updated some small part in the presentation depending on coming questions and I hope it will be usefull for you who will attend my session. Please feel free to share any request/question before and after my presentation.

If you would like to get some idea about the atmosphere, you can check the photos from cf.Objective() Flickr group. Please feel free to join the group and put your notes to the photos to share with others.

See you at the presentation tomorrow ...

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 ...

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.
