We are having a great conference here Indianapolis, IN and I have presented my topic 'Creating our first i18N Flex Application' yesterday.

I want to share the presentation slides and you can download here.

I will add sample code as new blog entries with lots of details here. Keep focused ...

I am sorry to miss the sessions which are at the same time with my 'long' session/presentation.

The other topic that I will miss is also AFCS one and I will try to catch up this later.

Thanks for the whole organization. Let us have a great conference! :)

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.

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 ...
