When: Day 1 - February 24th, 2012
Cost: Free

We don't have exact details on the start/end times for Day 1 at the conference. If you want to get a leg up on OOP development using a framework in CFML, this is the year to come to the conference. Once we get more details lined up, you will be able to reserve your space at the Mach-II training.

HackFest at OpenCF Summit

Team Mach-II is running the annual Hackfest at the conference which runs all three days of the conference.  What is a Hackfest you ask?  It's an event where programmers meet for collaborative programming.  During the hackfest, we'll be building an open-source application for a non-profit. Best of all we'll be using a bunch of open-source technologies such as OpenBD, Railo, Apache, ColdSpring, Mach-II, JQuery, HSQL, OpenBD Desktop, and others.

We learned a lot about how to organize a HackFest from the 2011 conference and we're working hard to build upon last year's success to make this year's HackFest even better!

See you in February!

Well, it's not so free - it's $30 for one day or $45 for two days.  But come on down on September 11 to Bloomington IN for a one day quick start on using Mach-II with Peter Farrell and Kurt Wiersma.  Come one, come all -- it's the one of the best CFML events in the nation. Details below.  But hurry, registration closes today - September 9th!
