I've been a bad boy.  I was supposed to write a review of ColdFusion 8 back in October of last year, but an imminent change of job and my 10 month old boy (now sixteen months) conspired to eat up all my time to play with CF8, let alone write a review.  When ever I did try to write a review I always ended up with writers block.  All the blog entries, by developers far more knowledgeable and respected than I, seemed to already talk about all the great new features in this latest, and greatest, version of ColdFusion.

Adobe Developer Week 2008 was a few weeks ago now and I realised the other day that I hadn't written a quick post to point you to the recordings from the Connect sessions.

I was talking to Barry Beatie down in Australia at the time.  He kindly pointed me to this Adobe Australia and New Zealand site : http://www.joinadobe.com/eseminars/main/index.html

Its a really nice site where you can find all the recordings, but I thought I should find the UK/USA equivalent.  Thank to Ed Sullivan for pointing me to this page.  http://snipurl.com/adobeonlineevents Not nearly so attractive, but is the main Adobe Online Event page and also provides some additional online events recordings. You'll need to scroll down to the "Flex Architecture" presentation for the Developer Week Presentations. The Developer Week presentations all have the following description:

Adobe provides end-to-end web development tool suites and solutions. Join us to see what the buzz is all about in this one week long event with 20 sessions covering AIR, Flex, Flash, Mobile, ColdFusion and Dreamweaver technologies. Click here to listen.

Enjoy!
