Time to digest another CFUnited.  I didn't go last year because I was not too happy with the event after 2007.  It had gotten too kitschy and too, for lack of a better term, silly.  This year though, it seems things have turned around.  I think we have to attribute that to the conference being under Stellr's guidance.

Overall, I'm very happy with how the flex tracks turned out.  Great speakers, great content.  The venue was good and it was a bit spread out, but that's how it is.  The content in all the sessions was very strong.  That's something that has been lacking in years past; the content was too rudimentary.  This year, however, it's come back around.  I think that competition from 360|Conferences and cf.Objective() has been taken to account and the content has been upped, in concequence. 

The high point, for me, was the end of the demo mania when Doug McCune brought the house down.  Now, note the irony here, one of the biggest names in the flex community brought the house down to close the show at CFUnited. 

If you missed Doug's video (a mashup of the Adobe OSMF and FlexLingo), here it is:
