* CFUN quotes:
There is nothing like the interaction and dynamics of a gathering of those
seeking answers and experts ready to provide it -- the sheer "hands-on" how-to
expertise is like the fountain of knowledge -- if you're thirsty, you gotta be
there. - Donna Casey
Its fast (1 weekend time commitment), cheap (under $200 if you sign up before
3/31), and out of control (sessions cover everything from CSS to Flash remoting
to integrating Java). - Amy Neymeyr

Now back to the interviews
******* Charlie Arehart *******
In his first CFUN interview with Charlie Arehart, Michael Smith queries Charlie
about his presentation, "Deploying CFML on J2EE: Opportunities and Challenges."
Michael Smith: Charlie, why should someone care about J2EE?
Charlie Arehart: That's a great question, because I'm sure some looking at the
title may yawn since they don't use J2EE, don't want to, or just don't see any
relevance in their environment. They use ColdFusion (or CFMX or BlueDragon) as a
standalone server and are happy with it. But guess what: this talk is really
addressed toward them, to explain why it's worth considering running your CFML
on J2EE.
MS: What does J2EE mean? Is it just another word for Java?

******** Bogdan Ripa **********
Michael Smith: Why should programmers be interesting in building a CMS with MX
Kollection?
Bogdan Ripa: As the web is developing, the need for dynamic websites increases
and everybody wants to edit their own content without paying expensive
maintenance costs. Building a CMS from scratch is not easy. MX Kollection adds a
set of powerful features to Dreamweaver, making Dynamic Web Development easy for
everybody.
MS: What exactly is a CMS anyway?
BR: Now this is a good question. "CMS" stands for Content Management System. So
a CMS is software that enables you to ...

******* Hal Helms *******
In Michael Smith's third interview with Hal Helms, they discuss Hal's talk on
"Variables and Conditions" at the CF Bootcamp track at CFUN-04.
Michael Smith: Why should a new CF programmer care about variables?
Hal Helms: Variables allow our programs to adapt to changes, to conditions that
the programmer cannot know about precisely. They do so by providing a layer of
adaptable abstraction rather than a hard-coded value.
MS: Hmmm...what exactly does that mean?
