During Mark Drew’s presentation on CFEclipse a member of the audience asked;
Is there a design view?

and Mark immediately replied
No - it’s for developers!

which received a round of applause from the crowd….well it was funny if you were there!

Just home from today’s cfDevCon held here in the UK in Croydon! All in all an excellent mini conference and from my count approximately 200 attendees - where the heck did all those CF Developers come from???? It was especially great that the likes of Vince Bonfati, Charlie Arehart and Ben Forta were in attendance amongst more home grown talent like Alan Williamson, Alex Skinner, Kevin Roche, Nick Tong and others…Topics varied from Using APIs, Fusebox 5 lexicons through to Scorpio peaks and funky BlueDragon 7 stuff. I think i’ll take time to reflect before i blog more.

Thanks Russ for a great conference.

Orginally expected to release early November it turns out now that the offical release date for Windows Vista and Office 2007 for businesses will be November 30 whilst home users will have to wait until 30 January.

I had originally expected to be out of the country when cfDevCon was running and turned down the opportunity to speak at the conference but it turns out our plans have changed now so I will be able to make the conference after all - what’s best it’s not too far away from where i live, so if you’re attending I’ll see you there! And if you haven’t booked your ticket yet, you’re too late so you’ll have to buy it on the door!
