I won an iPod Nano on Blingo!

11 comments Posted by: Laura

BlingoBelieve it or not, people actually win on Blingo, a search engine that gives out prizes (link contains my referral code). Some time ago, I won an iTunes gift certificate and now I won an iPod Nano (I would like to thank Maria and Achtepa for that). I use Blingo almost exclusively now and since it is powered by Google, you get similar (if not the same) results you get from Google. I usually search directly from Firefox's search box so I added it to the list of providers and set it as the default. Also, if any of your "friends" win, you win too!

FlashForward finalists

4 comments Posted by: Laura

HomeLocator has been nominated as a finalist for the FlashForward Film Festival in the Online Application category, so we are in our way to Austin, Texas!

With contestants like Nike and Converse, we don’t have much hope of winning, but it will be fun nonetheless to meet with friends we only get to see at conferences.
We hope to see you there!

Adobe Flex Developer Derby winners

2 comments Posted by: Laura

The winners of the Flex Developer Derby contest have been announced last week. We are happy to say that our Home Locator was selected as the winner of the Product configurators/self-service guided applications category. There were many good entries, which are no longer shown at Adobe Labs. I think they will post them all at Adobe again when they get updated to Flex's final release. You can view the winning entries of the six categories in this article: Announcing the Flex Developer Derby Winners.

Update: Actually, the entries are still there, just not linked from the main page: Flex developer entries

Flex 2 CFUnited presentation

4 comments Posted by: Laura

We've finally arrived to DC!

Today, we will be presenting Flex 2 and ColdFusion integration. It is an introductory session, so if you are wondering what Flex 2 is and how to integrate with ColdFusion, we hope to see you there.

Flex 2.0 and ColdFusion Integration

In this session, ColdFusion developers will learn how it's not CF or Flex, but rather how Flex and ColdFusion integrate to create RIAs. In "traditional" applications, CF connects to external systems, processes business logic, and builds an HTML presentation layer. In an RIA, CF still connects to external systems and processes business logic while Flex is used to construct a richer presentation layer delivered by the Flash Player. In this session, you'll see how the two technologies integrate and get a first taste of Flex development. You'll learn next steps for orienting yourself to Flex and common gotchas encountered by CF developers new to Flex. While previous experience with Flex is not necessary, knowledge of ColdFusion components will be helpful for this session.

Presenting Mango at the University of California, Irvine

12 comments Posted by: Laura

I will present Mango and its accompanying paper at the UROP Symposium at the University of California, Irvine this Saturday May 13. By looking at the frappr map, I don't think there are many CF developers around here in Orange County, but you don't have to be a developer to attend since everybody is invited.
