The CFinNC conference, Raleigh NC, this past weekend was an outstanding event. The guys from the TACFUG really put on a tremendous event. The most amazing part was how they were able to bring in all of the speakers and host the event at such a great facility (NC State Campus) while offering it for free to all the attendees.

I had the opportunity to give two presentations at the conferences, Javascript and Flex; CSS in my DOM, CSS in my Flash, during the conference. I really enjoyed the opportunity and hope to have my slides and code samples published soon (read ftp tech difficulties).

The audiences were great and the atmosphere was very loose, thus lending the weekend to being more about collaboration on ideas and sharing of information.

I cannot speak highly enough of this event, and I greatly look forward to the next CFinNC.

On a side note, I found the Adobe Coldfusion t-shirts rather interesting. Being an old school CF programmer (as in, haven’t done much with it lately) I had to laugh at the zombie motif. Neat tee, but is it really appropriate? I mean, Coldfusion never died so why would it be coming back from the dead, or even be reanimated? Based on one of the rules from the movie Zombie Land I would think quite the opposite. After all “rule number…, cardio. The fatties went first!” I think there are a few other languages out there that would be called ‘fatty’ before Coldfusion. So I will go with that thought and whistle in the wind as Coldfusion continues to do the what it does so well. Live!
