2011 was a busy year for us, to say the least. South of Shasta grew and grew, hiring extra developers, taking on more projects, bigger projects, learning new technologies (or delving further into things we already knew). I spoke at NCDevCon (and got stranded in Texas for a day while trying to get home), spent a week at Adobe MAX in Los Angeles, spoke at various local user groups, and lucked into a last minute ticket to MuraCon where I learned more about Mura CMS than I ever thought possible.

Now it's 2012, and like many out there, South of Shasta has its own set of new year resolutions we plan on sticking with -- one of which is to keep this blog updated on a regular basis. There are lots of new things in the works we're excited to share with you all. I'll be speaking at the cf.Objective conference in May, some open source projects are in the works, and our friends at the Sacramento ColdFusion User Group have changes coming that we'll be sharing with you as well.

We're starting the new year off with a few UI updates to the website. You'll notice a new "jobs" page in the main navigation, and some other UI enhancements, hopefully making it easier to find info around here (which will become more and more useful as new blog articles and other content is added in the coming months). If you notice any issues with the site, please drop us a line.

I'm looking forward to all that 2012 has to offer and sharing it via the blog as much as possible.

Happy new year.
