Our next meeting is 24th May 2012 on Mura CMS + Fw/1

Mura CMS might have a ton of features right out of the box, but as it is also the perfect platform for custom sites large and small you are occasionally going to want it to do even more. Whether you're looking at integrating existing applications or creating something completely new, Mura is designed to make your life as a developer as easy as possible. In this presentation we'll look at using FW/1 to create fast but comprehensive extensions to your Mura CMS platform.

Grant Shepert is a long-time and avid fan of ColdFusion and web development in general. He contributes regularly to the CFML open source community, and is a die-hard fan of the CMS that saved him from switching to the dark side (PHP). As a member of the Blue River team, he has contributed to several key pieces of the Mura CMS platform, including site bundles and the drag-drop form builder, and will talk endlessly about Mura if given the slightest opportunity. Consider yourself forewarned.

Ok, so it doesn't really happen until next year but with the Ban of "Coffee Bar Substances" only be sold to residents there is still a reason to go to Amsterdam, and this year is no difference for us Techies.

First of all there is the Scotch on the Rocks European tour on the 25th May but also during this time there is the International Software Development conference from the 24th May to 25th May with a day of training.

There is an awesome day of training on PhoneGap with Christophe Coenraets, Technical Evangelist for Adobe
