Presenting and teaching at JSFdays 2010, Vienna

I’m presenting and teaching at the JSFdays 2010 conference in Vienna, Austria February 23-25th, 2010. The conference is being held for the 3rd year and is a great place to learn about JSF and everything that’s happening around JSF.

I’m presenting a session on RichFaces on Wednesday, February 23rd. The session will cover RichFaces 3.x as well as new RichFaces 4 based on JSF 2. On the last day (February 25th), I’m teaching a full day RichFaces workshop. If you are new to RichFaces, this would be a great opportunity to learn everything you need to know in just one day. We will cover all the core concepts, features and tags. If you are already using RichFaces, this workshop will fill in many gaps in your knowledge, and you will also be introduced to concepts and features you might never known existed. On Thursday, February 24th, I’m participating in a Rich Internet Applications forum.
