MAX 2006 Wrap-Up

I just got back to Michigan. I left Las Vegas earlier today, after my final session (the 4th time I presented a hands-on introduction to ColdFusion Powered Flex).

The sneaks general session this morning went very well, with attendance better than I expected for an 8:30 morning-after-the-party event. The ColdFusion sneak was not a sneak for many by this point, as we had been demoing the server monitoring in sessions previously (we'll be showing more of Scorpio as we move from alpha to beta). Still, the crowd were pleased to see what we have planned (and seemed to get a kick out of Scorpio Man!). The FDS/Ajax sneak was very impressive, as were the Dreamweaver and Flash 9 sneaks.

These past few days have been a blur of meetings, sessions, presentations, chatting with attendees, some partying, and not much sleep. The general consensus seems to be that this was one of the best conferences ever, which was great to hear.

And now I need to get to work on my content for MAX Asia next week.

You should have made Tim wear the suit as punishment for his leave/return. But, it was all in good fun. Your enthusiasm speaks well for the product. I'm looking forward to Scorpio.

Can't wait for CFMX 8. When does it go beta?

The CF 8 product sounds like it is going to be great. I am afraid to ask about the beta, as I assume I may get the "soon" answer ... but I'll ask anyway. So when is the beta coming out?

Have any pictures of Scorpio Man that you can post? I'd like to document and add to my blog all the great things from my week at MAX 2006. Wasn't able to catch up with you at the stage to get a photo. :-( But ScorpioMan is super fast so what can you expect.

Thanks for all your insight and knowledge at MAX.

No public date for beta yet, but, yep, 'soon'. ;-)

There are lots of pics of Scorpio Man on Flickr.
