Time for CFUnited again! If you are a ColdFusion Developer and would like to learn more about ColdFusion, then CFUnited is the place for you! Don't worry whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced developer, they have something for everyone here. Although the conference is being held early this year and in a different location, it is a great way to sharpen your skills and meet other developers. This is a conference put on by developers for developers.
I was just reading and listening to a presentation on security from CFUnited 07 (some presentations have audio and powerpoint presentations). I found it interesting how you could hash user passwords. A hash is a one way encryption method and can be used to store passwords in a database, so someone can't just "look up" user passwords in a database. Although the presentation didn't mention it, my room mate was talking about hashing passwords this morning and mentioned adding salt to the hashed password before storing. A salt is a randomly generated number/letter that you add to the user password before hashing. This prevents hackers from hashing common passwords and matching those to the passwords stored in a database. (see 12robots.com for more info).
See you at CFUnited!! If you're there, say hello!!

I am speaking at 360Flex!!
Hi,
I have exciting news! I have a blog now AND I am speaking at 360|Flex being held in San Jose August 18-20 2008!! I will be discussing Using Item Renderers in Flex. There are 47 presentations being given this year. Attendees will be getting some cool shirts this year.
The schedule has been set. The official hotel is the Holiday Inn on 1740 North First Street. All attendees have the option to attend the Free Flex 101 Training given by David Gassner of Lynda.com on Sunday August 17, 2008!
We also need to know what beer you prefer. I was lucky enough to attend 360Flex 2007 and enjoy the wonderful beer on tap. It was one of the highlights of the conference and a great networking time for all!
