Allan, we need to get together at some point while here! FYI, tomorrow first session, I plan on attending either *Flex 2 for CF Developers* or *Testing CF Apps*.
I attended the keynote this morning, and the following sessions: *Flex 101* - great intro to Flex, I was disappointed with the first half, but the second half really made Flex "click" *Using Structures with CFCs* - eh... it was labeled as sort of advanced, but the content seemed to be more basic than I was hoping for... *ColdFusion 8: Intergrated Flex Data Services* - I am really getting excited about the "neat" things that are so easy with CF 8 and Flex. *OO Programming with CFCs* - I agree, Hal seemed like he wasn't bringing his "A" game for this talk. He did go over the content, but I just felt that there could have been a bit more there. *BOF - Solo Coding* - round table discussion regarding the things Solo coders deal with... mostly focusing on the problems of working alone and not having someone else around to do code reviews and bounce ideas off of. *BOF - Apollo/AIR and Flex fears debunked* - another informal discussion. I didn't get much out of this, as I really didn't have any fears going into the talk. I attended hoping to preemptively hear other developer's fears and their resolutions. A very busy and productive day! I took notes thruought the keynote and posted the on my blog... they are not nearly as detailed or refined as other peoples blogs, so you may be better off skipping it! http://ken.auenson.com/blog/ I will try to keep the group posted throughout the conference.
