Just a note that I will be attending CF.Objective once more this year and I would like to encourage you to attend this amazing conference.  This year it seems that it will be better than ever with such amazing speakers and sessions.  I would like to mention that we will also be holding 2 days of ColdFusion/ColdBox training before the conference just 4 miles from the conference hotel.

The cool thing about this training is that we will be doing two ColdBox courses.  CBOX100 which is an introductory course with multiple labs that will cover everything you need to know about ColdBox development and our newest course: CBOX202.  CBOX202 is an advanced course that deals with dependency injection and WireBox.  I am very excited about this course since I want to concentrate on the problems that DI solves, approaches to better object design, decoupling and cohesion.   So I am really excited to not only teach about WireBox, but also about the importance of dependency injection and good modeling skills.

So if you will be in the area or attending CF Objective, please consider our 2 days of intense but fantastic training.  We will also be giving discounts to the training to those of you who will be attending CF.Objective.  So if you are attending the conference, please send us an email to [email protected] to get your entry discount!

Just a quick note that I will be at Adobe Max from Sunday onwards.  I am really excited to be able to participate in this year's Max.  Last year I was only able to be there for one day, but this time I will be able to do the majority of the event.  Also, I will be presenting in the Unconference on MockBox, a new way to unit test with mocks!

Mocking and testing are dear to my heart, so I am very excited to be promoting testing and mocking practices.  So if you are  unit testing novice or guru, be sure to stop by.  This presentation will require your participation!

So if you will be at Max, hope to see you there!

Just a reminder that I will be doing a 3 day hands on training 3 days before Adobe Max here in Los Angeles, California.  This training is our kickoff 3.0.0 trainings and it promises to be awesome. So if you are in town and would like to attend our ColdBox training, then use this cool discount link.  Hurry up now as only a few seats are left.

Next week is CFUnited 2010 and I am super excited about it.  I have always enjoyed CFUnited and this year I am staying for the whole thing, so I am happy.  I will also be taking several books with me (ColdBox Books) that is.  So if you want to buy-win a hard copy ColdBox Definitive Guide, then look for me, ping me via twitter @lmajano or just shout at the conference. 

Just a reminder that our registration for our ColdBox training closes in a few days and you don't want to miss out. So here is a super duper discount code: superweek. Take advantage and register now, we will be covering the up and coming 3.0.0 release and some great goodies.

Just a reminder that I will be teaching a 2 day ColdBox training event 2 days before CFUnited.  The registration is wide open and there are evensome cool discounts flying around (code:superweek).  For more information about this cool training event, check out the event page: http://coldbox.eventbrite.com/

Finally after several months of getting this training prepared, we are heading to the DC area and holding our first 2 day ColdBox intensive training in July, 2 days before CFUnited.  So head on over to the ColdBox blog and find out about it. Hope to see you there!
