Our friends at Penn are sponsoring a two-day web usability conference this July. The price is extremely reasonable ($300) with some big names presenting on CSS, Ajax, form design and usability testing. Although the focus is nominally on higher education, good usability practices can be applied anywhere.

Official announcement follows:

On July 15th & 16th, the University of Pennsylvania's School of Medicine will host the Higher Education Web Symposium.

This two-day conference will provide tools, tips and techniques for web designers, developers, programmers, and project managers to help us all create better and more usable applications and websites. Jared Spool leads off the all star cast of presenters. Additional scheduled presenters include: Eric Meyer, Dana Chisnell, Stephanie Sullivan, and others!

In addition to the formal presentations, you will have the opportunity to meet colleagues dealing with all the same pressures and clients.

This two-day conference is available for only $299, which includes: two full days of workshops, keynote address, and presentations of your choice. The first 200 registrants will be entered in a drawing for a MacBook Air.

Two Three upcoming CF-oriented conferences you should be pestering your manager about before the year ends:

cf.Objective()

Do.Not.Miss. This is the best advanced CF developer conference I have ever attended. The sessions are as good as the geekery in the hallway between them. Great speakers, great content...and so much to learn!

Charlie has a way of finding stuff that not too many people know about in ColdFusion. Thankfully, he's so community-minded that he puts together presentations on the cool stuff he finds!

Ben Nadel posted a link to a CF8 hidden gems PDF and presentation that Charlie did recently. If you're just getting in to CF8, this is well worth a look.

Enjoy!

360Flex Call for Speakers

A request from the conference organizers:

------------

Hello there,

We're looking for you to help give direction to the session talks at 360|Flex Seattle, August 13-15, 2007. We invite you to submit your ideas by May 1, 2007. The sooner you submit the idea, the better the chance it'll be yours. Wouldn't that suck to have some one snag your topic due to procrastination?

If you're thinking of pulling out a canned preso that you've used at MAX or CFUnited, that's fine, but we did get a lot of feedback from attendees who voiced disappointment at "It was the same thing I saw at MAX and UG meetings, over and over. I want new info!" So if you find yourself surrounded by an angry mob two minutes into your presentation, don't say we didn't warn you. Note: If your session is accepted and is tied to your commercial product, you're company must have a sponsorship level with an expo spot and your description will have this blurb: "This session discusses utilizing a commercial 3rd Party product."

Speaking of presentations, code is good. People like to see code, so feel free to mix it in with your presentations. For those of you working on products that are built on top of Flex, we welcome you to utilize this format for your session. "Behind the scenes: Lessons learned while making xxxxx"

One thing that attendees find incredibly important is having the presentation materials before hand. If you sign up for a session, we'll need that preso, code zip, etc. by early July so we can burn them all to a CD. Don't be alarmed, if you need to change your preso a little after it's burned, that's fine. We'll provide a PowerPoint and Keynote template too. As for blog links, we'll automatically be adding them to your bio and/or session description.

Our Tracks for 360|Flex Seattle will be: Components (Development, use, etc) Application Development (building enterprise apps, using apollo, Apps built with Flex) Integration (.NET, Ruby, Java, FDS, etc) *Apollo sessions will be mixed into each track as applicable.

The classroom track will be comprised of the following: 1 day flex basics 1 day creating custom components 1 day building apollo apps

If you are interested in teaching one of these classes, please let us know.

Send your questions, suggestions and ideas to Info@360flex.com as soon as you can, to get your spot locked in. Feel free to pass this email to others in your office as we're trying to limit the spam to one per company.

Thank you, The 360Flex Committee
