Scotch '007

I'm sure a lot of you will be aware but Scotch on the Rocks is fast approaching and it's looking to be a great event. Sadly I can only make the first of the two days but thats in itself looks to be great.

It's great that more events are getting setup in Europe.

iNovaLive is proud to be a sponsor of this event.

Report on cfDevcon06

Okay, so nearly one week ago we had a ColdFusion conference here in the UK. I have to say I was really excited to hear that there was going to be one. Then Russ Michaels asked me if I could do a talk. What is one supposed to say apart from 'yes'. I've never given a talk to more than 30 people before so I was really looking forward to it. I decided to be a bit more abstract than the other talks and focus on APIs and why and how they can be used in ColdFusion. You can download the slides below - although I'm not sure how they will come out as i got a little carried away with powerpoint 2007 effects. The talk itself I think went okay until Niklas ask me to increase the font size - a minor issue and we were back up and running (thanks Darren).

I won't go into the other talks as they have been covered here:

Some pictures can be seen here.

What I will say is that the event brought together an array of ColdFusion developers with different ideas, problems, experiences etc. This in itself was worth the effort. A big thanks to Russ for his hard work.

If you can let the cfDevcon team know what you thought of the event here

P.S. When you get a taxi home and ask the taxi driver if he's had a busy night and he says he's only just started (4:30am) thats a sign of a good night. It was really nice meeting people. Now if only we can build on this...
