Tuesday night we'll be hosting two outstanding local speakers - Chris Scott of ColdSpring fame (among other things) will be instructing us all on the fine art of unit testing and Keith Dodd bringing us all up to speed on the use of Spry.

Meeting will be from 5-7PM...still enough time to get a couple hours of shopping in after we're done!

Parking is available at 18th and Arch, though as always we recommend using mass transit whenever possible. Starbucks is on the ground floor for any caffeine junkies planning on attending, plus we'll have the usual soda and pizza for a light (read: not good for you) snack/dinner.

Two Three upcoming CF-oriented conferences you should be pestering your manager about before the year ends:

cf.Objective()

Do.Not.Miss. This is the best advanced CF developer conference I have ever attended. The sessions are as good as the geekery in the hallway between them. Great speakers, great content...and so much to learn!

A Philadelphia tech conference - how cool is that? Coming in March 2008 to the campus of Drexel University. If you're going, please let me know - looks like there will be some Flex representation there in addition to a hefty helping of open source technology.
