Anywhoo... given Microsoft + Adobe are both in the room one can assume its going to be a great event with lots of variety heh.
Question to one and all: What would you like me to bring to the table, that is of interest. I'm an open book and can ring-in some experts in some of our products + services if you'd like (each city). Some initial thoughts are: - .NET + CF8 working together. - Top 10 Advanced SQL (SQL 2008 or 2005) Things to Know? (I could probably entice our MVP's in this space?) - Windows 2008 (Web Server) sneak peak? - Silverlight + Coldfusion (Fusing the Light) - CF8 + IIS 7.0 / Windows Workflow Foundation? - Windows Live.com SDK's + CF8 (Web Live Id SDK for example) - Maps + CF8 ? FYI: We sponsored CFUNITED and got some positive remarks from the community around that, so i'm happy to continue that flow if you'd like.. basically the floors open, hit me with what you want and i'll rally around it and organise for you.
