I know this is cruel to post so late. Raymond Camden agreed to cover his topic for a second hour on Wednesday at 1:30pm. It will be a continuation from his Ajax and CF topic. Includes Spry and other stuff. We will post on the schedule as soon as we have a moment.

If Raymond agrees, he will be able to record his presentation via Connect for those who may miss this presentations. As well as all speakers. -Liz

We have a handful of presentations posted.

1. Go to CFUnited.com

2. Login with your user name and password

3. Click on "Topics" in the nav bar

4. Scroll down and some presentations have links that will take you to a PDF.

We plan to post more presentations as speakers complete them. Other presenters will not be posting their materials until they speak due to time sensitive material and new announcements.

Thank you for your patience!

Raymond Camden did a contest to see what his fans would like to see as a new topic as CFUnited. Last week Ray revealed that Hal Helms and Clark Valberg will be speaking on "Prototyping for Smarties".

Presentation begins 8:15am on Thursday

Description: Quick! You are been put in charge of a mission-critical project by a particularly sadistic genie (aka "your boss") who will hold you solely responsible for the project's success. Of course, you will still be expected to perform your other responsibilities as well. You've seen other, similar projects fail. Now it's your turn at the dock.

What single action on your part will do the most to ensure a successful project? In this session, Hal Helms and Clark Valberg explain and explore prototyping as the key to project success. We know that when projects go awry, they very often do so because of a mismatch between what users want and what we build. Why the mismatch? Because users can't tell us what they want until they see it.

Drawing on their experience with both successful and failed projects, Hal and Clark offer the lessons they've learned about the right and wrong ways to prototype.

We have a new topic and speaker for CFUnited. Doug Hughes is replacing Boyan Kostadinov and will be instead speaking on The "Hidden Secrets of Model-Glue" at 9:45 AM - 10:45 AM on Friday.

This class will take Model-Glue programmers deeper into the framework than, perhaps, they even knew was possible! In one short hour we'll cover a range of important and underutilized features. These include Action Packs, default events, ORM integration and scaffolding as well as ways to non-destructively extend and customize the Model-Glue framework.

Doug Hughes is a veteran programmer and the president of Alagad Inc (http://www.alagad.com), a successful small business specializing in web and application development, services and consulting. Doug also publishes a popular blog covering ColdFusion and other technical topics at http://www.doughughes.net.
