CF_Underground San Francisco was held last week at the Adobe headquarters in downtown SF as a pre MAX event. We had a sold out event with lots of great attendees and talented speakers. Liz and I had a great time putting the conference together and meeting everyone.

We wanted to thank all of our speakers... Raymond Camden, Joe Rinehart, Jeff Tapper and Dan Wilson for taking their time to present at CF_Underground. Also big thanks to Josh Adams and Adobe for hosting. Oh and we wouldn't have a conference if it weren't for the attendees, so thanks to everyone who came!

Here are a few pictures from the event.

We are happy to announce that Dan Wilson will be speaking at CF_Underground San Francisco.

Dan will be replacing Adam Lehman's speaking slot on the schedule. We don't have a specific topic from Dan yet but will announce it soon.

Here is a little about Dan...

Dan Wilson, principal partner of DataCurl LLC, began his IT career at a fast-paced start-up during the dotcom heyday. He has since then held senior program and development positions in Technical Consulting, Health Care, Online Publishing and Government Contracting.

Dan is an avid participant in technology communities; currently serving on the board for the Triangle ColdFusion User Group in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina and regular contributor to open source projects based on ColdFusion, Flex and AIR platforms. You can find his thoughts on ColdFusion, Flex, AIR and other technology matters at http://www.nodans.com.

Dan spends a significant amount of time learning new technologies and techniques. He has taught and presented since 2001 after an invitation to design and lead courses in Web Development for established IT professionals at Metro IS. When not in front of a computer, you can find him biking, hiking, surfing and playing volleyball.

Raymond Camden told me yesterday that he is definitely going to speak at our CFUnderground event in San Francisco November 16th. I'm super excited now to have Ray present. He also told me that he's going to switch things up a bit for this more informal event and talk about the amazing experiences he's had discovering awesome tools like source control, unit tests, frameworks, coldspring, etc. These are things he didn't know 10 years ago and I'm sure if you think back to the early days of coding, you'll find that your practices were much different.

Hopefully you can come visit us before the MAX event and share this fun experience with Myself, Nafisa, Ray, Adam, Joe, and Jeff.

See you at MAX!
