A collection of ColdFusion community members has co-authored a free book called Learn CF in a Week. (Disclosure: I wrote two of the chapters.)

It's completely free (pdf, epub, or just keep it online), and every chapter has an accompanying hands-on section to reinforce the concepts from the chapter with code you can follow, as well as homework if you're up for the challenge.

Every so often people ask me for training materials besides the CFWACK books... and now we have this great, free resource. If you have developers that need training from the ground up, or even just to cover some of the finer points like security or i18n, this is a great place to start.

Did you miss your opportunity to sign up for the Free Flex Training for ColdFusion Developers taking place today in Washington D.C.?

Well, you're in luck! They added another date in D.C. -- you can now attend on December 17th. You better sign up quickly; I bet this one will sell out too!

Thanks to astute reader dsmith for keeping an eye on this and letting me know!

I was going to post this tomorrow to try and space out blog posts to at most once a day, but the lead time before the event is pretty short, and twitter, facebook, etc. are all abuzz about it, so I figure it's better to get the information in your hands and apologize for flooding your inbox. I'm sure things will slow down at some point, but for now I'm sorry!

Have you been wanting to learn Flex but don't have the time to figure it out yourself or the budget for training? Likewise, are you already familiar with Flex 2 or 3 but interested in learning what's new in Flash Builder 4 and Flex 4 in a hands-on full day of training with Adobe staff like ColdFusion product manager Adam Lehman?

Well then today is your lucky day! Adobe is providing a free full-day, hands-on Flex training course specifically designed with ColdFusion developers in mind.

Unfortunately there's no Philly date, but you can attend in Washington DC on November 20th, and as luck would have it, this is the session that Adam Lehman will be at. I apologize for not giving more notice, but I just got notification myself last night.

Sign up before all of the seats are taken!
