WebDU的介绍：与众不同的网络会议

The time for WebDU, Australia’s only web conference with a dedicated ColdFusion track, is just around the corner. The fun starts next week with workshops on the 11th of June followed by the conference itself on the 12th and 13th, at the Sydney Convention Centre. I’ll be there to cover all the action for SitePoint.

WebDU是澳大利亚唯一的具有ColdFusion专用曲目的网络​​会议 ，现在已经迫在眉睫。 下周的乐趣始于6月11日的研讨会，然后是12月13日至13日在悉尼会议中心举行的会议本身。 我将在那里介绍SitePoint的所有操作。

First up, the workshops. You can signup for a full day of Flash, Flex, or FarCry – but I hear the one NOT to miss is Mark Mandel’s session on the Transfer ORM framework. Mark will take participants through building a sample application with Transfer, including Eclipse setup, Transfer installation and configuration, basic usage and some of the more advanced stuff too – to “drastically cut down the amount of SQL and ColdFusion you need to write”. In actual fact I’m very sorry that I can’t manage to get there in time for this one – Mark keeps hassling me to try out Transfer and it’s something I definitely want to do.

首先，讲习班。 您可以注册一整天的Flash，Flex或FarCry，但我听到不容错过的是Mark Mandel在Transfer ORM框架上的会议 。 Mark将带领参与者使用Transfer构建一个示例应用程序，包括Eclipse设置，Transfer安装和配置，基本用法以及一些更高级的内容–“大大减少了您需要编写SQL和ColdFusion的数量”。 实际上，我很抱歉无法及时赶到那儿–马克一直在困扰我尝试传输，这是我绝对想要做的。

On the evening of the 11th, Robin Hilliard is going to be running CODE WAR at the Connections Bar at Crowne Plaza Darling Harbour. Eight teams of 2-4 members will be competing in “head-to-head sudden death matches” to determine the winner of the “inaugural Australia New Zealand Code War Trophy” – a prospect that’s both terrifying and intriguing, especially as Robin promises there will be a supplementary prize for the best team costume and a wooden spoon for the “ugliest solution”.

11月11日晚， Robin Hilliard将在达令港皇冠假日酒店的Connections Bar上运行CODE WAR 。 八支由2-4名成员组成的团队将参加“面对面的突然死亡竞赛”，以确定“就职的澳大利亚新西兰密码战奖杯”的获胜者，这一前景既令人恐惧，也令人着迷，尤其是罗宾承诺在那里将获得最佳团队服装的补充奖和“最丑陋的解决方案”的木勺。

The conference itself is on the Thursday and Friday. The program looks pretty packed, and with four streams (Flash/Flex, RIA/AIR/JS, ColdFusion and WE, which I assume is “Web Essentials” or something similar) it’s going to be difficult to pick a session at some times. Being a CF coder, that’s obviously what I’m most likely to go to, but with Lisa Herrod speaking on user testing at the same time as Adam Lehman on ColdSpring powered Fusebox applications and Patrick Kennedy speaking on information architecture opposite Kai Koenig on Internationalisation, there will be some really tough decisions to make. Not fair!

会议本身在星期四和星期五。 该程序看起来很紧凑 ，有四个流(Flash / Flex，RIA / AIR / JS，ColdFusion和WE，我认为是“ Web Essentials”或类似的东西)，有时很难选择一个会话。 作为CF编码器，这显然是我最有可能去的地方，但是Lisa Herrod谈到用户测试的同时， Adam Lehman 谈到基于 ColdSpring的Fusebox应用程序 ， Patrick Kennedy谈到 关于国际化的Kai Koenig的 信息体系结构 ，将会做出一些非常艰难的决定。 不公平！

On Thursday night, there’s a special event on for conference attendees. In previous years, the WebDU team have put on a banquet, that you could buy tickets for as an “extra” when you bought your conference tickets. This year however, they’ve booked out the Kingpin Bowling Lounge in Darling Harbour and all conference delegates are welcome to bowl, play pool or shoot each other in laser skirmish until the wee hours. It sounds like a ton of fun and with food and drinks free from 7.30pm until 10.30pm it could get messy. I’m not a bowler and my first person shooter skills suck, but you’re welcome to challenge me to a game of pool.

在星期四晚上，有一个特别的会议参加者活动。 在过去的几年中，WebDU团队举行了宴会，您可以在购买会议门票时作为“额外”购买门票。 然而，今年他们已经预订了达令港的Kingpin保龄球休息室， 欢迎所有与会代表打碗，打台球或互相打架，直到凌晨 。 听起来很有趣，从7.30pm到10.30pm免费提供食物和饮料，可能会变得凌乱。 我不是投球手，我的第一人称射击手技能也很烂，但是欢迎您挑战我打台球。

The other aspect of WebDU that has everyone talking is the WebDU trading card game. Kai Koenig and the Nectarine team have developed something that can only be described as a cross between Magic the Gathering, Pokeman and… I don’t know, whatever the nerdiest, geekiest ColdFusion-related thing is that you can think of. Essentially the aim of the game is to beg, borrow or steal (or trade) cards with other players, then hand your cards in at the end of the conference, with prizes going to the high scorers. The cards that have been sneak-previewed look pretty funny – see cards for conference organiser Geoff Bowers, Kai and Adobe’s Tim Buntel.

每个人都在谈论的WebDU的另一个方面是WebDU交易卡游戏。 凯·科尼希(Kai Koenig)和油桃团队开发出了一些东西，这些东西只能说是聚会魔术师(Magic the Gathering)，口袋妖怪(Pokeman)和……之间的杂交。我不知道您能想到的与书呆子最怪异，最怪异的ColdFusion相关的东西。 本质上，游戏的目的是与其他玩家乞讨，借用或窃取(或交易)卡，然后在会议结束时将您的卡交还给高分者。 被偷偷预览过的卡片看起来很有趣–请参阅会议组织者Geoff Bowers ， Kai和Adobe的Tim Buntel的卡片 。

The conference will again close this year with a speaker roundtable. This is something that WebDU always does that is a bit different – all the speakers assemble on stage, and Geoff Bowers runs around with a microphone, Jerry Springer style, and takes questions from the audience. Although it only goes for an hour it’s an interesting session and usually a good note to end on.

会议将于今年再次以发言人圆桌会议结束。 这是WebDU始终会做的事情，与众不同–所有演讲者都聚集在舞台上，Geoff Bowers带着Jerry Springer风格的麦克风跑来跑去，并向听众提问。 尽管只进行了一个小时，但它是一次有趣的会议，通常是一个很好的结尾。

So it’s all on next week – tickets are still available if you’re thinking about going. If you are there and you see me, come and say hi – as the girl with purple hair I’m hard to miss. Or if you’re not going, leave a comment and tell me which sessions you’d most like to see reports on.

所以这一切都在下周–如果您正在考虑去，票仍然可用。 如果您在那里并且看到我，请过来打个招呼-作为紫色头发的女孩，我很难错过。 或者，如果您不打算发言，请发表评论并告诉我您最想查看报告的会话。
