Looks like the speakers have been chosen for cf.Objective() this year, sadly, my presentation on Real-World Object-Oriented CF development was passed on. The speaker list is a very solid group of well-known faces in the ColdFusion community, so I feel very strongly that it will be an excellent group of sessions, and any CF developer in their right mind looking to grow in the field should consider attending.
My hope is that there are at least a few concrete sessions that are given (the session list hasn't yet been made public), as I am classically not a huge fan of abstract demonstrations that gloss over buzzwords in a rapid-fire PowerPoint presentation, while failing to show you actual code-in-action. Personally, I learn best by example, and that was how my particular presentation was tailored, so if there is a good selection of example-based sessions this year, I have no problem standing down for the big names.
I was going to submit the session on my Kathune spidering engine to CFUNITED, but I believe I missed the deadline on that. Again, not too worried, another strong list of presenters, and I am really only making the effort to make sure there is an adequate contribution to the CF community, which it sounds like is as healthy and as strong as ever, so don't believe the rumors!
In other news, I am taking interest in Haskell's latest post regarding TypeConverters being implemented in the next version of FuseBox, which has some incredible potential when combined with ColdSpring, and I am starting to brainstorm a few ideas about how this could further automate bean instatiation. Additionally, I'm investigating the development of a new tool that piggy-backs on top of WoW Lemmings using the CF Event Gateway and Flex...more on that to come.
