Less than two weeks away! Everyone's getting excited. You've probably booked your flight, pulled out the luggage from the closet, dusted off the old CFUnited bookbag from 2006, wrote down what your away message will read, read up on where to eat in DC, and printed up your scheduler printout for the 10th time.

Answer any number of these questions for us on your own blog. We love to hear what people are thinking. We've been working for you and can't wait to see everything come together.

***************************

What are you looking forward to most?

Which speaker will most likely end up on your camera?

What do you plan to do outside conference time? (Clubbing/Bar Hopping, DC Tour, DC dinner cruise, Museum, Fine dining, Live Band shows, etc.)

Fill in the blank: I will mainly be around the ______ booth.

Do you have a new project you are working on and will reveal it at CFUnited?

***********************************

Thanks. See you in a couple weeks!

CU238 Scott Stroz ColdFusion's AJAX Advantage

How to make the most of ColdFusion 8's EXT2 integration

ColdFusion 8 has some great AJAX widgets built in, but there's far more available than simply what's available via the ColdFusion API. Behind that API is a rich and very extensive set of tools from the EXT JavaScript AJAX library. Come to this class to get tools, tips and tricks for leveraging some of the power of EXT in your applications. We will go over various APIs for the EXT objects that ColdFusion exposes directly (like the grid object) as well as some of the supporting objects that make the EXT framework so powerful.
