Three ColdFusion positions this week, including one in Iraq:

• Vykin Corporation (company based in Florida, but position is in Iraq) is looking for a ColdFusion and Flex developer with secret security clearances for the US Department of Defense in Iraq. Requirements include ColdFusion and/or Flex certification. Details posted online.
• Unnamed client (KS) is looking for a ColdFusion developer for a contract to permanent position. ColdFusion 8 experience required, as is experience with Flash. Contact Melissa Kelly-Foxhoven at recruiter PAiGE Technologies, LLC.
• NxStage Medical, Inc. (Lawrence, MA) is looking for a ColdFusion developer. Requirements include knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, XML, and SQL, and a solid understanding of procedural and object-oriented code. Familiarity with framework-driven development environments, and Flash development, a plus. Contact Duane Dumont.

Last night I presented ColdFusion, Flex, and more to a joint meeting of the local Flex and ColdFusion groups. The group took a little while to warm up, but then really got going. The session ran over 2 hours and was highly interactive.

Big winners were spreadsheet integration, ORM, Bolt extensions, and the data connectivity in Flash Builder 4. We also got into a lively and heated tangent conversation about the AS3 server proof-of-concept shown during the MAX sneaks last year (the crowd was lobbying heavily to turn this into a product).

Last night wrapped my scheduled usergroups presentations, for now.
