CFDevCon 2008 - Old conference name but new vibe!!

Soon you will be able to find out more details about CFDevCon 2008 "the ColdFusion Centric web development conference". I thought i would leak a few details as I've been asked about it a lot recently.

CFDevCon will take place in September and it will be on the south coast - any guesses where!

Not only will CFDevCon focus on ColdFusion but it will bring in more web based ideas, from accessibility, growing a web business, clustering servers etc. Don't worry though if you're a hard core CF'er there will be plenty of that as well!

Watch this space!

Simon Whatley's Gravatar I'll take a punt at Brighton being the venue; Silicon Beach.

I'd love to see CFDevCon 2008 being a cross-over between Scotch or CFUnited and dConstruct. I certainly think that ColdFusion developers need a whole host of skills, so concentrating just on CF is not always the right choice. Bringing in the ideas of usability, accessibility etc can only serve to enhance the quality of CF developers skillset.

nick tong's Gravatar Hi Simon, that is the idea! We hope to move away from "just" a CF hard core base. Although we all love CF we need to see it amongst it's 'friends' :)

Big Mad Kev's Gravatar If you look at the Scotch on the Rocks Schedule it does cover more then just CF.

Requirements and Estimating
Cairngorm for Beginners
Intro to Livecycle Enterprise Suite
jQuery in a Nutshell
RIA meets Desktop, Introduction to AIR API's
Emerging RIA technologies like Cocomo/Lucinda
Unit Testing CF and Flex
Blaze DS
Architecting Applications for Multiple UI Technologies

Just to cover a few of them,

To be honest, we already had CFUNITED this year, and Scotch with Max at the end of the year and two other Conferences in Brighton in September is this year not already over crowded?

European Conferences are nothing like the US ones where it is part of the Developer Culture. Look at Flex:360 in Milian this year.

But not knocking you Nick, but with less then 6 months to organises an event, your going to be very grey haired by Christmas :) Ping me off line if you want
