On the 1st June 2009, I attend finally my first “big” conference of Coldfusion (CFML). What I can say it’s was a good day. The organization of SOTR makes everything possible for us developer to have a nice day.
I attend at the presentation of Mark Drew about the difference between the different frameworks in CF. Mark replace Sean Corfield on the fly for this presentation and he delivers the jobs for it. Now it’s to me look more into it Coldbox or Model-Glue.
The next presentation was the one of Mike Jones about Flex. What I can say the presentation was good but for developer knowing already a lot about Flex. The description and the title of the presentation were suggesting a different topic.
After the lunch I attend at the presentation of Gert Franz about Railo since the time I use Railo it was the first time I was listening a sale pitch from the evangelist of Railo. I knew around 95% of the content already for it, but always interesting to have a refresh about it.
Another good presentation follows after the one of David Stockton about Fusion Analytics and Fusion Reactor. People were more interested about Fusion Reactor than Fusion Analytics. Maybe Integral should have tried to make 2 presentations instead of combining both. In any case I will look into it.
The last presentation of the day was the one of Terry Ryan about the new IDE of Adobe: Bolt. Since Terry wasn’t having the rights to tell us a lot about it, he show us how to create extension for it. That will be a powerful tool, in one example he showed us how to bring all the projects of RIAFORGE into Bolt, no need of unzipping everything anymore!
Overall it’s been a great day meat some great people and hopes to see them next year.
