This is just getting a little bit insane! Yeah Perth has done BarCampPerth, WA Web Awards, WebJam, PodCampPerth, plus all the AWIA mini talks, and now we have few more events to round the year off, just well because we have nothing better to do than have events all the time, or as Myles Eftos suggests learn macrame.
Leading off in date order there is a free ColdFusion mini-conference directed by Adobe CFCamp (27 November 2007, 9am – 4pm), want to learn the latest in ColdFusion, register today.
Finally ColdFusion 8 (code named Scorpio) has come out of Beta and onto the shelves of the world, bringing with it joys to ColdFusion developers everywhere. I have discussed elements of ColdFusion 8 previously in passing (in relation to WebDU07). As expected Adobe is now going to start ramping up on the ColdFusion sales pitch, which is fair enough, they are a software company out to make money.
Now I like ColdFusion its simple but very powerful, it’s like the Apple MAC of the web software world, it doesn’t get in the way when you are coding, it just works.
Yes the previous evenings entertainment at WebDU was “interesting”, in general all had a good time. As normal things ended all too quickly. I have no idea what the people from the US would have made of the “Kath and Kim” stage show. If you know, post away below. With some of speakers having a session at today, reality bites and things didn’t kick on that much into the small hours of the morning.
Day Two
- The keynote, Ted Patrick showed off the next generation of Flex and its CS3 integration, seeing this I think I’m finally getting it as to where I can use Flex. Tim Buntel ran through some more Scorpio (Coldfusion 8.0) goodness.
