Date: Tuesday, March 30th
Time: 6:00pm — 7:00pm
Location: Wharton's Jon M. Huntsman Hall, Room G55 (3730 Walnut Street)
Speaker: Terry Ryan of Adobe
Happy Hour: TBD

Terry will be in town to present a ColdFusion Builder Special Event to our group. Unfortunately, that's all I'm at liberty to say at this point, due to NDA. Once the NDA is lifted, I can provide more details. Suffice it to say, this should be an exciting meeting — it's not often that we get Adobe reps in to speak to us.

Please RSVP below so that we know how much food to order.

Please note that this meeting is on a Tuesday! Normally we try to meet on Thursdays, but this is the date that Adobe made Terry available to us.

I just spoke with Simon (our speaker for tonight's meeting), and as of now he's still planning on making the trip down from New York City; so I'm still planning on holding the meeting. If that changes, I will update this post, post about it on twitter, and if there's something big that everyone needs to be notified of (what that might be, I'm not sure), I'll send out a mass-email to the group.

Don't forget that we're not in the usual building. We're still on Penn's campus, but instead of Jon M. Huntsman Hall we're in Steinberg-Dietrich Hall, room 211. In case you're not familiar with the location, here's a map. Click for a larger version.

Lastly, we're still planning to head to the American Pub for Happy Hour afterward.

Recent meetings have been held in Wharton's Jon M. Huntsman Hall, but unfortunately we weren't able to get a room there this month. Fortunately, we are still on UPenn's campus, and not far away from JMHH. We will be meeting in Steinberg Dietrich Hall, Room 211. See the meeting announcement for all of the details.

ADP — ranked #2 in Training Magazine's 2010 Top 125 list of companies that excel at employee development — is looking for a full time, permanent ColdFusion programmer at their Newtown, PA location.

Description and requirements sound pretty vanilla to me, but this bit stood out: "Understanding of DOJO or YUI AJAX Framework is a plus." At least we know that they use some Ajax and are framework-friendly, which not all employers are.

See the full job listing and apply online.

If you missed the last post about CFObjective early-bird pricing and didn't get the deal you wanted, you're in luck! They've decided to extend the early-bird pricing through Sunday, February 14th. What are you waiting for? Go register!

After you've got your ticket, maybe you should stop by the PhillyCFUG discussion group to see if anyone would want to carpool or share a hotel room.

As of right now, registrations for our next meeting are pretty low. Given the speaker and the topic, I thought there would be more interest in this meeting, so I figure it's worth reminding you — both of the meeting (2/25, 6:00, Penn Campus), and that we would appreciate it if you would register. As always, the event is free and there will be pizza and soda provided — registration is just to get a head-count for food.

And of course, don't forget about happy hour afterwards!

We'll be going back to the American Pub for another happy hour after this month's meeting. This is the same place we went last month, and it was a good time. I suppose they enjoyed having us, because they called and asked me if we would be interested in coming back. How could I say no?

Who: You
What: Happy Hour
When: 2/25, 7:00pm – 9:00pm (Immediately following our meeting)
Where: 1500 Market St. (The Clothespin Building, across from Suburban Station)
Why: Why not?

So come enjoy some good suds and good conversation.
