I thought it was great...even better than last year (then again, my life last year at this time was at the depths of hell). Still, I really got a lot out of this conference. There were several sessions where I picked up some good stuff, including stuff that I forwarded to my customers to see if they were interested in such great features (like MapPoint inclusion). Also, the networking was great, including the dinners out and the mingling afterwards. Even then I was learning tips from others at times. The cold beer I shared courtesy Ed/Dave (thanks guys!!!) tasted great. Really hit the spot after dinner! It was great to meet Dave Crozier from the UK and so many others whom I've come to know online but haven't met in person, and of course great to see the folks I met last year again.
I wish there was an extra day, as there still were about 3+ sessions that I didn't get to see. Kevin did a wonderful job. The only thing that would have made me even happier was if the hotel would have kept a good stock of fresh baked cookies on hand downstairs where our sessions were. The trail mix was good, but I'm a cookie monster myself. That's about it...no complaints...only compliments. Kudos to the Cully family! Let me be the first to say that I'm looking forward to FF 2K8! btw -- I'd offer to do a session on OOP next year if it's requested. I kinda got the impression that some in attendance were of a classic/legacy nature were they used SET PROCEDURE a lot and didn't really deal with and/or perhaps understand the benefits that can sometimes be gained with used object oriented programming. The fact that Kevin Ragsdale's "crash course" sessions seemed to be well attended was an encouraging sign....and there certainly were developers younger than me (36) and that was nice to see as well (for the idea of "new blood" perhaps). The seasoned developers were also great to offer their experienced insights as well. Thanks everyone...it was wonderful! -- Michael J.
