New to MAX this year are developer bootcamps, and we're holding one dedicated to ColdFusion. For those of you yet to experience bootcamps, these are very informal, highly interactive, audience driven, hands-on, free-form, anything-goes type sessions - try to picture a semi-organized free-for-all. And these are big time fun. The ColdFusion bootcamp has no fixed speaker list, and no definite agenda. Instead, you get to set the agenda - for all 3.5 hours of it. Want to see examples of how to do cool things with CF8 Ajax support? You'll be able to do just that. We'll put an expert up front, and you'll get to see exactly what you want to see. Have your own example to show? Great, we'll put you up there, too. Want a walk through of getting the new ColdFusion debugger configured and installed? Sure, we can do that. Want to share code and follow along? That's encouraged, and we'll have lots of USB flash drives loaded with software for you to share and use and try. As I said, a semi-organized free-for-all for you and hundreds of your peers.
So, just to make sure we are on the right track, have you ever taken part in an event of this format (or lack thereof)? What would you like to see discussed? Would you like to present, and if yes, what? Any thoughts and comments are welcome and appreciated!

Mark Lynch e-mailed me to let me know that he has blogged about a project his company has been working on. The application delivers mobile phone and IM based learning solutions, uses VoiceXML and Jabber/XMPP, and is powered by ColdFusion. Cool stuff!
