I am posting from my cell, so i will come back with more detail later.

edit - I have fixed the spelling typos below -

I am currently sitting in the Microsoft keynote speech on ‘Atlas’.
So far, today’s presentations have rocked!
I sat in on Joe Rinehart’s “MVC for you & me” and Michael Dinowitz’s “Error Handling in CF”. There were some ‘wow’ moments with a demo of Model-Glue Unity. There were also some great concepts in the error handling class that I plan to implement for my clients soon.

edit - the following was added later when i was back in the room from a laptop, so there shouldn’t be as many mistakes -

The Atlas demo was nice.  I feel sorry for the Microsoft guy on stage because this toolset really is geared towards ASP.NET.  While it does have a huge amount of things it can do easily from CF, its goal is integration with ASP.  Since I am not yet using CFAJAX or AJAXCFC and haven’t yet decided on a single AJAX toolkit, I will give ATLAS a try.

After lunch, I went back to the room to try to get a quick cat nap in, but that didn’t work too well. I ended up being late for the next session I wanted to attend, Shlomy Gantz’s “Version Control 101 w/ Subversion”.  The room was overstuffed, so I went back up to the room… None of the other sessions looked all that interesting, and altho I was bumed for missing the presentation, I at least have a copy of the slides to check out the content.  My client doesn’t currently use Version Control and that is one of my major goals this year.  The next set of classes don’t look that interesting either, so I plan to pass out for an hour.  I need to sleep!

I plan on going to “CFEclipse: A guided tour” @ 4:15 today.  I currently use dreamweaver and textpad for all my coding and i really want to give CFEclipse a shot.
