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 ...

As you all know there are not only "good" people on the net. Luckily we have some of these "bad" guys who are trying to create some extra loads on our servers to help our load testing process. :)

We know these kind of DoS (Denial-of-service attack) attacks already with some old experiences. There were some known solutions for some known types of these attacks. But starting from yesterday we have an interesting one which is known as Layer 7 DoS attack and we have some tough times now.

Here are some extra information about this type of attacks directly from one of the best load balancer tool F5 guys.

Layer 4 vs Layer 7 DoS Attack

Luckily we have a great hosting provider who helped to resolve the most of the issues and our sites are running again after some hours down period. I would like to thank to Edge Web Hosting and their great support team here again for their amazing work!

We would be very happy to hear also your experiences with these kind of DoS attacks. :)

Now it is the time to consider handling more loads on the servers with more sophisticated solutions ...
