cf.Objective() 2008 Reflections

Posted by Paul Marcotte | Tags: cf.Objective() , ColdFusion , Community

I really picked a winner for my first Coldfusion conference. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend every session that I wanted, so I guess I'll have to come back next year! It's really hard to pick a favorite, but the Agile, Coldspring and Coldbox workshops all stand out. Over and above the excellent content and presenters, I got to meet and hang out with some really great folks. I'd start name dropping y'all, but you know who you are... The evening meals had a lot of variety. First there was the fabulous Brazilian churrascaria steakhouse Fogo de Chao, then two classics White Castle and Mickey's Diner, and finally the wonderful Sakura topping it off. Big thanks to Jared, Steven and the entire steering committee for putting on a great conference!

It was great to see you there. Only problem with cf.o() is there were too many great people to hang out with so I don't think anyone got to talk properly to everyone they want to. Next year they'll just have to shorten the sessions so we can all get to the bar earlier :->

Yeah, it was a great conference!

It was great to see you again... after so many years! Paul and I went to high school together, for those of you who didn't know (which I assume is everyone but Paul and I).

@Charlie

I wish I had a chance to try some White Castle goodies, but someone changed phone numbers on me!!!

@Charlie, I'm up for some White Castle again next year.

@Phill, Great meeting you too! Make sure you join the White Castle posse next year...

I wouldn't have been too psyched about a White Castle run... I've got one less than half a mile from my house!
