I am in Amsterdam now, the last stop on this European launch tour. I presented ColdFusion MX 7 in Brussels this afternoon, at a CF Seminar attended by crowd of 120. Less than a dozen of those present had seen CFMX7, so the content was fresh for most. I have now presented CFMX7 hundreds of times to...
I spent the day in Milan, and just arrived in Brussels. In Milan I spent the morning with customers, and presented at a ColdFusion MX 7 launch seminar in the afternoon. I'm always impressed by the Italian ColdFusion community, Italy is a relatively small market, but is home to a disproportional...
There are lots of product TechNotes on the Macromedia site, and their individual URLs can be long and unwieldy. To make accessing specific TechNotes easier, you can use /go/ URLs, in the format /go/tn_nnnnn (assuming you know the TechNote ID, that is). For example, to access TechNote 17883 you can...
I just arrived in Milan to start week two of ColdFusion MX 7 launch activities here in Europe. Milan tomorrow, Brussels the day after, and then Amsterdam, before heading back to the US on Thursday. Thus far, European reaction to ColdFusion MX 7 has been very positive, with customers, partners, and...
My presentation this evening to the Swiss CFUG went really well. Close to 100 attendees (including a couple of members of the press) spent close to 4 hours, first at a reception, and then listening to my ColdFusion MX 7 presentation. An additional dozen attendees watched and listened remotely via a...
I am in Zürich today, my first time here in four years. I arrived here from Munich a few hours ago, and grabbing a few minutes to catch up on e-mail in between customer visits and a CFUG event. Tonight's event is sold out, this should be a fun one.
It's 1:00 am local time, and I am finally in Munich, in time to get a few hours sleep before press briefings tomorrow (um, I mean, today). I was stuck in Heathrow for hours due to (I am not making this up) "loss of airport radar". Now that's exactly what you want to hear at one of the busiest...
I presented ColdFusion MX 7 to the London CFUG tonight. The event started at 3:00pm with an introduction by Macromedia's Jan Van Jensen, Lucas Sherwood then gave an intro to Flex, Steve Allison introduced Captivate, and then I had 90 minutes or so to present ColdFusion MX 7. I covered printing,...
While the crowds start gathering down under for MXDU, I am about to cross the Atlantic to Europe. I'll be there for 10 days for ColdFusion MX 7 launch activities and events in England, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, and Netherlands. A couple of user group meetings have been scheduled too (...
It's no secret that my various public sites have been running on various beta, alpha, and even pre-alpha builds of ColdFusion MX 7 for a long time now. I've actually had lots of different builds running at the same time. Well, last night I made some time to do a clean CFMX7 install, and thankfully...
