Yeah, I have to say I agree with most of that as I went to a lot of the presentations with Rich. One of the ones that was a little heavy, was the maps and gis in flash... he ran out of time on that, and so I think I missed the point of the presentation... still a little confused, but gained some ideas for other things from this.
Also, Al Manning's cf-content tips was pretty good... it again gave me some nice ideas about doing things another way, but this would be dependent on the client. Another interesting one was the one on developing for PDA/Smartphones... not sure if I'll ever do anything like this in the future, but a good grounding if I ever need to! Anyway, a great conference guys, probably couldn't have gone any better!:) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rich Wild" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, June 02, 2003 9:42 AM Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] cf_Europe > > I thought it was good but too Flash based. > > > > Maybe next year they should change the name to MM Europe > > instead of CF Europe. > > true, and like a lot of developers there I have a lot of reservations on the > current viability of RIAs (and yes I've developed a few), but it seems that > this is what MM is pushing at the moment, so I was kind of expecting it.
