Next Stop, Austin And Houston

Last night's Scorpio presentation in Dallas was incredible. The venue was superb (although I was initially worried when I walked in, stuffing people with hot food and them putting them in big comfy chairs can be a recipe for disaster), the crowd was loud and animated and enthusiastic (it took over 30 minutes to get through my first two slides!), and everyone wants Scorpio now!

I am in DFW, about to board a flight to Austin for a midday session, and then I drive to Houston for a presentation this evening. I hope to see you there (or at any of the other upcoming Scorpio Usergroup tour venues).

My notes and analysis of Ben Forta's presentation to the DFWCFUG
Last night (April 30), Ben made a visit to Dallas to present to the Dallas Ft. Worth ColdFusion User Group on ColdFusion 8 Scorpio. Below are some of the notes I jotted down as he went through. I start with the tags and new attributes that he introduced...

Ben, on behalf of our CFUG, I would like to say thanks for putting us on your tour and for giving such a stellar presentation last night. You have created quite a buzz in Dallas.

Good luck on the rest of your trip!

Yes, Ben. I'd like to echo Dave's comments. The presentation was excellent, I could have listened, and asked questions all night (I dig your accent)! There were several features you mentioned that we could make practical use of *right now*, and would love to, but I guess we'll have to wait until the release -- mid year, right? Until then we'll be plotting and planning on the best way to convince our client that the upgrade is an absolute necessity.

Thanks again for a great night last night!

Chris
