Jax Code Camp 2009 coming this August

The planning has begun for the next Jacksonville Code Camp. The next code camp will be this August at the UNF campus. If you are not familiar with the Code Camp, it is a free one day development conference put on by the local development community.

One of the things we tried to do last year was to have differing development technologies presented on at the camp. We had a presentation from the Ruby Jax group, as well as several presentations on Adobe Air and Flex.

The conference is still looking for speakers and volunteers. If there is a subject you would like to present on, please submit your presentation subject at the web site.

More ColdFusion and Flex jobs in Jacksonville, Fl

I have been recently approached by two different companies in the Jacksonville, Fl area that are trying to hire ColdFusion developers. If you live in Jacksonville or are willing to relocate, these are good opportunities.

There are three open positions at Taleo. If you follow this link and do a search for "Software Engineer" it will show the open positions. They are also trying to hire Java, C# and Flex developers.

Another company that is trying find ColdFusion developers is called Andromeda Systems.
