Yes a misunderstanding. I have emailed Joel to ask him to correct the quote.
I did *not *say nobody used CF. I did say that it didn't matter that he hadn't done ColdFusion because he could talk about general software development issues of interest to CF developers (which he did, very successfully according to the attendee surveys). Thanks for bringing this to my attention! :-) - Michael Smith, TeraTech, Inc http://www.teratech.com/ CFUNITED http://www.cfunited.com/ PS If you have suggestions for CFUNITED-06 please email me off list - we are in the middle of the planning process for that now, even though the event is not until June 2006. Heads up we will have the call for speakers in September, so get ready to nominate your favorite speakers and topics!
