CFUN Presentation (and apology)

coldfusion

So, my CFUN presentation didn't go off nearly as well as I would have liked. There were issues with the projector (not my laptop, I swear ;) that made me miss a good 10 minutes of presentation time. Maybe I'm being a bit too sensitive, but to those who attended, I apologize. I hope you enjoyed what I had time to present.

For those who attended and want a copy of the presentation, you can download it right here. This zip includes the Powerpoint along with all the code, except for the CFLIb code I showed off.

So far, CFUN is as great as it always was. This is one of the best conferences out there. If you did not attend, I highly recommend you attend next year.

No apologies necessary...afterall t'was the projector:-) and one thing...don' buy a new laptop before a presentation;-). But seriously, I loved every minute of the session and picked up a lot of good tips. I am having a good time and hope u are too. Btw, Simon H had some good things to say abt u in his session;-)

Gareth, I see the powerpoint file in the zip. You do not?

The presentation was fine, and I'll never neglect to use the VAR scope from now on! BTW almost every session I have been to has been beset by some kind of technical problems...

Raymond, I have downloaded it again, and I still dont see the powerpoint.. I do a find on the zip for .ppt and it doesnt find anything either. What is the directory that the power point file is in? Are you using winXP built in zip to view the zip file? because this is what I am using.

Cheers

Yes, there were technical difficulties in many of the sessions, but mostly not show stoppers at least. The common themes seemed to be wireless access, microphone problems, and projectors, in that order.

No apologies necessary. Though it seems too many sessions ran out of time. The sessions may need to run longer next year and I suggested holding off on questions until the end of the presentation. It wasn't unusual for an audience member to raise an issue that only 2% of the audience would care about or encounter.

Matt Liotta was good about keeping on target and pretty much shot down all questions until the end of his presentation. And guess what? He was one of the handful of presenters that made it through all their material.
