CFUnited 2005 - Day 1

My jump start back into blogging begins with CFUnited. I've never been to a CFUnited (formerly CFUN) event, and from what others have said, this is the biggest and best one ever (obviously since this the premiere ColdFusion technical event).

Wednesday was a very long, but interesting and profitable day. The day started with Ben Forta and Tim Buntel talking a bit about CF7 and then announcing two important things: official Macromedia support for CFEclipse (yeah!) and the code name for CF8: Scorpio. After that, my day was full of sessions: Verity in CF, SQL Server 2005, design patterns, regular expressions, CF frameworks, taxonomy, and model glue. Whew! I also went to a BOF with about 10 of the Macromedia CF7 team. One of the cool things about being here at the conference is putting faces with names that I see blogging, in forums, etc.
