Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending and speaking at Dallas TechFest 2010. I presented on taking an existing ColdFusion application and spicing it up incrementally using jQuery, the hottest JavaScript library around.
The micro-conference; I suppose you can call it that, was a lot of fun. I attended some pretty good sessions, including MySQL optimization, Event Gateway programming in ColdFusion, and an introduction to Grails and CouchDB. I must say that CouchDB is particularly interesting, and may find its way into one of my projects in the near future.
