Ed Bartram blogged about Charlie Arehart's CFUnited preview presentation on "New in CFMX 6 and 7: What did you miss?". He gives a nice summary of the features list in his post too.
He also says "It looks like I'm really going to miss out by not attending this conference!". We hope you can come Ed, it is going to be a great event!
With the CFML compiler the Smith Project going open source and Ben Nadel's open source code off competition it will be soon possible to create total open source CF solutions!
In the first of our CFUnited 2007 previews, Charlie Arehart talks on CFMX 6 and 7 and the features that were released.
Planning to move to CF8? Did you skip either 6 or 7? Or have you perhaps installed and been running them but doing little to no new development? Were you paying attention as all the new features (and the folks' experiences using them) were being shared? There may be a lot you've missed. Veteran CFML developer Charlie Arehart will introduce both the key features introduced in these releases as well as many hidden gems. It's surprising how many little thins get slipped into releases, and point releases, and sometimes it's those which can be as important to you as any prominent feature. In his typical encyclopedic but pragmatic style, Charlie will help you make the most out of features you may have missed. Of course, this is just a 20-minute preview of what is in fact a day-long course. But it will give you a taste of what's to expect and will provide value in and of itself.

A message from Adam Bell:
Hey Everyone,
A lot of you may be aware that about 2 1/2 years ago back in New Orleans I created a new type of 'conference' called MiniMAX which originally was supposed to be a once and done event for the local New Orleanians before Macromedia (now Adobe) did their annual MAX user conference. Little did I know it was going to become a hit and now it's been used at various web conferences across North America. For those unaware of the concept, it's me and five other speakers yapping and doing tutorials in a 15 minute per session format. So the whole thing gets done, prize drawings and all, in 2 1/2 hours or less.
Two weeks ago, I got to do it in Toronto for the very first time before the annual FITC (Flash in the Can) conference. I was pretty pumped on this because this was my sixth trip to Toronto and I knew the region pretty well and the local culture. So I took advantage of that and did a little opening bit around that. Most of you won't get the bit unless you know a lot about Canadian Sports Television and Canadian Culture. So with that in mind, you might want to check this out first to see what I spoofed:
Then go to http://blip.tv/posts/view/?user=cullin and view the video from the event and hopefully, it'll make sense. Whatever the case, you can view my Photoshop/Illustrator/Fireworks 3D session and you'll probably understand that. There's at least one more preso up there and there should be more on blip later this week.

Do you want to write better programs? Maybe thinking about programming in a different way would help. Mindmapping is a way to visually work with ideas that was invented in 1970. Now used by millions of people worldwide, mindmapping uses both the left (logical) and right (visual) sides of the brain - so that we can more than double our productivity! Learn how to create effective mindmaps for requirements gathering, program architecture, project management and more. I will demo some mindmapping tools and given an interactive mindmapping exercise for attendees too. Don~'t miss it!
