Our 6pm (US ET) talk on Thursday Apr 28 will be part two of two in the day from different speakers, but both on JQuery Mobile. Second up at 6pm will be “Using jQuery Mobile for your Next Web Application”, with Andy Matthews. At noon Ray Camden will have offered a preliminary talk (details in its separate announcement).

TOPIC DESCRIPTION: (provided by the speaker)

jQuery is everywhere. It’s a JavaScript framework, it’s an application development framework, and now it’s a mobile framework. Built around the rules of progressive enhancement jQuery Mobile is a mobile application framework for the next version of mobile optimized websites. In this session Andy will discuss background research done by the jQuery Mobile team, concepts used in the development of jQuery Mobile, and of course lots of code and demos. If you’re on the fence about whether to use jQuery Mobile, this session will answer all your questions.

DURATION: Approx. 1 hour
Meeting will be recorded. URL will be posted after meeting at recordings.coldfusionmeetup.com

SPEAKER: (provided by the speaker)

I have been working as a web and application developer for 12 years, with experience in a wide range of industries, and a skillset which includes graphic design, programming, business strategy and planning, and marketing. Throughout my career I have been privileged to work on projects which interfaced with industry giants such as Craigslist, written code that allowed Enterprise level sales teams to quickly and efficiently build presentations for their clients, and stayed current on trends in the marketplace by helping previous employers transition to newer, more effective, coding habits and standards. I have received certifications, spoken to users at conferences around the country, and developed software for the open source community.

WHEN: Thurs. Apr 28, 6:00pm US ET (UTC/GMT-4)

What time is that for you? The following link shows [what the time would be for you]. Here’s [another option] that shows the time as US ET, and lets you choose your city from the list offered to see what time that is in your own timezone.

LOGGING IN: When you login to the Connect room (the experts.acrobat.com/cfmeetup link above) to view the meeting, PLEASE USE THE “LOGIN AS GUEST” option, and USE YOUR NAME, but do NOT attempt to use your meetup.com username/password or any Connect account. Just sign in as a guest.

RSVP, but only if coming: We do appreciate folks RSVPing if they plan to come (using the link on this email or at the meetup site), though it’s not mandatory and it’s not a commitment. But there’sno need to RSVP if you can’t make it let alone explain why you can’t. With over 2,400 members, no worries. :-)

FEEDBACK/MEETING DISCUSSION: Members will receive an email after the meeting or can click a link on the event page to offer. Note also the meeting-specific discussion area there at the bottom, in addition to the one-chance feedback feature on the right. Feel free to engage in discussions about the meeting topic.

ADD THIS TO YOUR CALENDAR: Want to add this event to your own personal calendar? After logging in here, you’ll see an option at the top of the event page, just below the event title,  saying, “Add to my calendar”, which offers calendar downloads for Outlook, iCal, Google, and Yahoo calendars. (Note that the calendar entry created will show the event taking 2 hours. That’s a default that meetup.com has chosen, which I can’t change. The meetings are generally about an hour, though often go as much as 30-45 minutes longer with Q&A and chat.)

New ColdFusion Job Site

Fellow Developers:

I decided to stop publishing job offers on this blog due to several complains from developers that do not need a job and also some of the replicators also complained to the amount of job postings I’m sending in my RSS feed.

So, I created another blog for the ColdFusion Developers Network and changed the name of this blog to Ricardo Parente’s Blog, where I will post only MeetUp news and technical articles as well as tutorials. Botton line is, I’m keeping this blog more personnal.

Please go to http://blog.cfdevelopers.net to check for job offers.

Thanks for your support.
