This month's meeting we will be hosting Matt Riley, a ColdFusion developer from Phoenix, AZ (via Connect). Matt is a Sr. Web Applications Engineer at Amkor Technology. Matt has been involved with technology for most of his career and has been developing Web applications for over 10 years. He has broad experience in architecting Web based e-commerce and enterprise applications which are designed to increase departmental efficiency and deliver enabling technologies to individual employees. Most recently, Matt has been heavily involved in designing and implementing enterprise mobile initiatives at Amkor and has developed multiple web based mobile applications that run on numerous mobile platforms.

Matt will be presenting some interesting stuff about jQuery Mobile, Titanium, and PhoneGap -- if you're thinking about mobile (and who isn't, these days?) then I would advise you not to miss it!

Mobile applications are everywhere. Exploding interest from consumers and corporations brings the need for developers to create applications within a diverse mobile ecosystem. Developers are faced with the choice of learning languages specific to each platform or using tools that will allow a developer to write their application once and deploy it on many mobile devices. We'll discuss what these tools are, when they should be used and also look at the final product these tools generate. This discussion will help you refine your mobile strategy and also help you decide if these tools are appropriate for your application.

In lieu of a regular meeting this month, we're encouraging you to attend another Philly group: Build Guild on Wednesday 8/17. That is not to say you shouldn't consider attending events by PANMA (bad example, they don't have a meeting this month...) or any of the many other Philly Tech Community groups (there are many of them!)... but Build Guild is where we'll be, and we hope to see you there.

What's Build Guild all about? From their website: "Build Guild is a monthly gathering of web folks that enjoy chatting over drinks." There are no presentations, and no schedule; just show up and enjoy some adult beverages and the company of other geeks from the region.

They do ask that you RSVP, if you are planning to attend.

I met a gentleman at Philly Merge who has much the same mission as the conference, to help foster relationships between --as he puts it-- "geeks and suits" in Philly. He's putting on this (and presumably many more) events in the area, and I thought I would pass the word on to you. It sounds like a pretty good deal:

Young Involved Philadelphia SUMMER JAM BBQ (Young Movers & Shakers Event)

WHEN: Sunday July 31st from 2-6
WHERE: Jamaican Jerk Hut, 15th and South
WHY: An amazing line-up of music and local artists exhibiting their work. Food and drinks included! Network (if you want) with the YOUNG movers and shakers of Philadelphia and surrounding areas!
HOW MUCH: All for 15 dollars, 2 for 20 dollars if purchased online in advance. $20 at the door.
**The price covers booze and food!!

View the event on Facebook; get your tickets in advance on Ticketleap for the cheaper rate.

Hope to see you all there! Bring friends because it’s going to be a great time!

Nathan has a lot to say when it comes to the basics of HTTP. The things that we take for granted are more complex than we sometimes realize or understand.

HTTP 101 for CF Developers: What really happens when you use cflocation, cfcookie, cfcontent and more.

In this presentation I will review the HTTP request/response protocol and show how tags such as cflocation, cfcookie, and cfcontent work within the protocol. I will also demonstrate how to debug cfhttp and web service calls using an HTTP proxy.

Just a quick reminder that we will be meeting tonight! See you there!
