CF.Objective Notes -- Keynote

Finally. I'm back home and done with traveling for a while! CF.Objective was a couple weeks ago. I wasn't home more than a few days before I had to spend a week in in San Francisco teaching a ColdFusion class, then flew to Atlanta Georgia to spend a few days on-site with a client (writing mostly ColdFusion for them too, coincidentally). After CF.Objective, I promised to post my notes from the conference -- I haven't forgotten about that! Below are my notes from the keynote (and hopefully I've fixed all of the typos and such, making them somewhat usable). I'll post the rest of them as time permits over the next few days/weeks... Lots of new people, first time at CF.Objective. Adobe is moving MAX to the spring -- May 4 thru 8th. Quick poll to see who would be affected by both conferences being close together (only a few people raised their hands...I was one of them, that might be too much time in 1 month to be away from client work). 2 Code Base Radio shows -- live broadcasts from CF.O Keynote speaker --Rakshith Naresh from Adobe Launched CF10 a few days ago HTML5 features w/ minimal HTML5 knowledge, you can create HTML5 apps using CF10.
