All the speakers were much appreciated, but especially those from overseas... can't wait for the slides from the talks to be put up, I will probably most need the one where CF is a platform that can sit and "speak" to the other technologies (like .Net, MS Exchange, etc) and adobes own Flash/Flex, Acrobat generation stuff. To show my management that CF has more depth and advantages then what .Net will offer. (TBH i never thought of CF that way, as a platform rather than a web language, abit of marketing there but it is true)
I think many businesses will move to an all windows platform because most of management are not involved in the day to day development processes, and because of the marketing dollars MS puts in this part of the world, comparatively people will start believing MS is the best option (and sometimes the only option). CF is too good to be "our dirty little secret". Such events will help to grow the community in this part of the world, and also the visibility to the decision makers. Though I do reckon the events should be planned a little more in advanced and have a bigger profile. E.g. the MAX refresh(?) and CFCAMP this year were fairly good this year, but would have been better if both were held together across 2 days? I understand that it was abit of a rush this year, but it could be a mainstay annual event for the major cities. WebDU is good, but not everyone can make it every year, due to monetary and scheduling reasons, it may scavenger WebDU in the short run, but in the long run, a bigger CF community can't hurt. In the years to come, CF and Flex developers will be the one, Adobe RIA developer ? (any such combination title yet?, via adobe certification of course) It seems there are certifications for being an instructor only for Flex and CF, that the only way to go now? Does anyone know when the CF8 certification is out? And is there any for Flex in aus yet?
