I've been invited to speak at MAX!!!
It's not often that something happens during the day that is so distracting to me that I have problems focusing on my class, but today was one of those times: when I returned from lunch, I saw an email waiting for me, inviting me to speak at MAX this year.
For those that don't know, MAX is the Adobe conference each year. Attendance is usually in the range of 5000, all of the big-wigs in the Adobe world are there ... it's really such a fantastic honor to be asked to speak that I can hardly believe it.
MAX this year is being held in San Francisco (another bonus, since it will only be a $43 round trip ride on Amtrak to get there). Registration is already open at the conference web site. I always tell my students and user group members: if you have a conference/travel budget, this is the conference to attend.
Did I mention how excited I am about this?


I attended your CF class recently, and need some elegant tech help with my error handling.
CF8 Stumper :
I need to validate an email form field...
The application requires only 1 email address to be entered in the email field. Need to check that some dumb (excuse me, rather "over zealous") user did not enter in 2 email addresses b/c it causes tremendous havoc when the user enters in 2, instead of just 1. Help ASAP por favor.
Thanks.

Assuming you have a form field called "email", you would write the following:
<cfif not isValid("email", form.email)>
<cfset error="Your email address is not valid">
</cfif>
Hope that helps.
