Tyler presented well and kept a good pace throughout the presentation points. Definitely one of the less painful Powerpoints I've sat through. I came away with a better understanding of what is coming up in the Adobe dev world. -
Excellent. Thanks, guys! -

Dreamweaver... Hell yes! Photoshop, wooooot!!

Thanks for another good meeting. Interesting topic, good speakers. Only tiny complaint: With so much ground to cover, I would have preferred a bit more breadth, and a bit less depth. We ended up rushing thru Fireworks and Catalyst (the two things I was most interested in hearing about), and did go a bit long.

My takeaway: the third generation version control systems are academically interesting, but not yet fully implemented or supported. If you are in a business setting where you just need a version control system that is mature, fully supported, and ready to go "out-of-the-box", stick with subversion. If, however, you are in an academic setting and have time to fiddle endlessly with Linux environments (and let's be honest, Linux requires endless fiddling), and want to try out the latest and greatest version control systems (although not yet mature or widely supported), then go nuts with the 3rd generation systems.

Awesome presentation. I'd love to see a follow up that explores powerful ways you can use Subversion to integrate other collaboration and deployment tasks.

ColdFusion Builder and Flex 4 hit Salt Lake like a well-integrated avalanche! on Wednesday Apr 14, 2010

If I was a flash or flex guy, it would have been the highlight of my year. Renaun was knowledgeable, competent, and had a muted charisma as a presenter. However, the ColdFusion Builder stuff was an afterthought. It was almost like some stock slides from a ColdFusion presentation were thrown in at the end, and the comments improvised. Sadly not even a moment was spent on ColdFusion & Flex 4's allegedly tight integration. I would have enjoyed seeing Flash Builder magically inspecting a ColdFusion webservice, or viewing ColdFusion Builder create ActionScript classes for Flex. I had been excited about this presentation. However, the only thing that kept me there until the end was the prize drawings. And the guy from the Flex user group didn't even mix up the tickets, meaning that those of us who traveled far and came early had no chance of winning since our tickets remained flat on the bottom. Not worth the drive. I'm glad none of the guys from Logan made the long trip.

During questions it was obvious that Renaun Erickson knew a tremendous amount about the inner workings of flash (optomizing for animation, memory issues, constraints to be aware of, etc). However, none of that came across in the canned presos that he did. The mobile device demonstration amounted to "Hey, I have an iPad and here's flash running on it". The CFBuilder was a set of slides with bullet pointed features. Altogether the event wasn't anything more than what I could have gotten online. A good evangelist presentation not only conveys information but should get a person excited about the latest greatest. They should leave thinking they *have* to have the latest greatest because of the awesomeness they just saw. There should be amazed gasps. There should be spontaneous applause. There should be whoops of joy. Last night was just kind of meh. Thank goodness I hung around to talk with user group members - I got more outta that than the preso. -
Not much time was spent on Coldfusion Builder. It would have been nice to see more of the differences between CF Builder and CF Ecliplse. -
Yikes.

Interesting presentation. Although I don't know that we would have an immediate direct use for the specific topic Matthew presented on, the presentation as a whole was insightful from an overall design perspective.

Great preso, gave me some good info for further research

I'm a newb to ColdFusion and just wanted to get more into it, so there was a lot that went over my head, but it was also a great overview to CFWheels. I too have tried to work with Zend Framework and HATED it, CFWHEELS looks to be a lot more intuitive. -
Really enjoyed the presentation last night! Found the general CFWheels information more interesting than the ORM, especially the stuff for forms. I was going to play with ColdBox as my next "hobby" project, but I think I'll check this out instead! Thanks again!— Mel

Interesting preso, interesting framework. A company or developer looking for a new framework should definitely give this one a look. Also, I think that somebody already familiar with Ruby on Rails, and trying to transition to ColdFusion, would be really excited. Too bad this wasn't available a year or three ago--I probably would have looked at it much more closely then. I still may at some point in the future, but probably not right now.
-
I haven't been to very many meetings, but this one seemed to go on for too long--at least longer than I expected it to.
-
It was great to get a hands on with Wheels and another ORM after Neil's great preso. I find myself strangely attracted to the highly-readable Wheels API design and its seemingly minimal learning curve. CFML is really heating up lately.
-
Great Preso. Wish I could have seen the end but had to leave early...

Thanks everyone for your thoughtful questions, and helpful comments. I enjoyed preparing for and presenting on this topic.
-
I thought the meeting was very informative and the presenter didn't waste anytime getting his points across that this built-in ORM technology is RAD! -
Detailed, complete walk-through that not only was a solid introduction to Object Relational Mapping but had depth for those looking for insights beyond the surface.
