Scotch on the Rocks - Win a copy of MagicDraw UML Enterprise
May 10, 2005 · No Comments
A big thanks go out to Scottish JRun User Group manager Duncan Jack, who today confirmed that we'll have a copy of MagicDraw UML Enterprise to give away at Scotch on the Rocks!
That's $1,599 worth of software alone!
Also, we're running for a few days only a Refer-a-Developer scheme whereby those who already have their tickets for the event can blag themselves a £10 voucher for either Amazon.co.uk or CD-WOW.com simply by getting a fellow developer to sign up for the event.
Once signed up, the new attendee simply needs to email myself quoting me a name, and a voucher will find it's way into not only the referers goodie bag, but also the new signups!
It's a bargain I tell ya!

Scotch on the Rocks Agenda
May 06, 2005 · No Comments
With the agenda for Scotch on the Rocks 100% confirmed, I think we've got a nice bunch of topics to cover the vast majority of the new features of CFMX7 that everyone wants to know about.
We've also got a Flex talk (from Steven Webster of iteration::two) and a UML talk (from Duncan Jack of the Scottish JRun User Group) to add just a little variety to it.
As for myself, I'm covering Multiple Instances and Clustering where I'll be doing a CFMX6.1 vs CFMX7 comparison. I'll also be covering all the little things in CFMX7 that haven't had the same sort of exposure as say Reporting, or Flash forms, etc.
And of course for those attending you've got the chance to heckle Snr CF Product Manager, Tim Buntel about everything and anything :)

Tim Buntel, ColdFusion Product Manager at Macromedia is the latest name to be added to the speaker list for Scotch on the Rocks
Tim joins a star-studded lineup that already includes Lucas Sherwood and Andi Hindle (both Macromedia), Alexandru Costin (InterAKT), Steven Webster (iteration::two), Andrew Dicks and Vladislav Vassiliev (both Firstserv) and me.

There may yet be a few more speakers to be confirmed, but you'll just have to hang fire.
Also, the goodie list has been beefed up with a few more additional giveaways. We've got a copy of SeeFusion Enterprise v2 to give away, as well as a copy of Macromedia Studio MX 2004 with Flash Professional, and Macromedia Captivate.
