Dave,
Sounds like it was a great meeting! I'm so miffed that I had to miss it.
From your description of the evenings events, this meeting covered
almost everything I'm interested in.
I'm glad that you got to record Mark's presentation. I had some
questions for him, and I suppose all I can hope for is that he covered
them, or that someone else happened to ask them.
Well, I hope we cover these topics again sometime (mainly the OOP and
Framework stuff).
As for a new meeting place, what would be the chance that we could get
the building where Ben presented? All those comfy chairs and nice laptop
stations? That would be sweet! :o)
Cheers,
Chris

Aside from our Ben Forta meetings, last night was one of the biggest
turnouts we have seen. In fact, I think the time has come for use to
begin looking for a bigger facility for our group... maybe some place
that leaves the AC on at night, which they apparently didn't do last
night! Great to see new faces and some that we hadn't seen in a
while. Here is a short recap.
To start off the meeting, I gave a short presentation on converting a
traditional procedural application to one that uses OOP concepts by
way of talking to Beans/DAOs/Gateways. My goal was to convert our
little mini-app in under 10 minutes starting with no CFCs, which I
came pretty close to meeting even with the discussion. We wrapped
this portion of the meeting right on time and went into Mark Drew's
presentation on CFEclipse at 7PM.
Mark gave a great presentation, but as someone who has been using
CFEclipse for several years now, I would be interested to hear what
you non-CFE users thought about what he showed? Not a bad IDE huh?
Even to those of us who have been using CFE for some time, I think all
of us (aside from Mike Kelp!) saw some features that we didn't realize
were in there I recorded the presentation and will be posting a link
to it later today assuming all went well recording it.
After the meeting, we did a raffle for the $2000 limit Adobe software
which was won by Joe Kelly! Congrats Joe. We also passed out quite
a bit of other Adobe swag, including shirts, some really cool Adobe
mugs, little mini laser mice and more.
After the raffle, I offered to continue upon my earlier presentation
for anyone interested in staying. Having a few takers, I took the
application that we had converted to using objects at the beginning of
the meeting, and turned it into a Mach-II application. We had some
great questions during that period and I hope I made the case of how a
framework such as Mach-II can benefit your development. I will be
posting that code later today as well for anyone who wants a peek.
Thanks to all that showed last night. I hope the crowded room didn't
scare you off, and please know we want you there and will shoot for a
bigger spot as soon as we can.
