For the last few years we've been blessed by the talents of Nectarine’s Steve Piscopo putting together little Flash caricatures of webdu speakers. 2008 is no exception! Just love the new "boggle eyed" look. Here’s a quick sample — you'll have to search the speaker list for more.

Can't wait till webdu?! Get a load of these great little widgets for tracking the latest webdu news, and essential "webdu countdown" so you know to the second how long you have to wait. Widget magic courtesy of the mighty Rob Rohan.

Tonight! If you want to kick back you heels and listen to an overview of FarCry there are several upcoming presentations that might be of interest. With the upcoming release of FarCry 5.0 (Fortress), these are the first opportunities to take a look at some of the latest features to come out of this vibrant community.

The CFCAMPs in Australia were a great success last November. Thought I might link to the information and notes speakers have provided for the various CFCAMPs across Australia. We're missing a few sessions, but what is there is yours. Enjoy!

CFCAMP is a free, mini-conference for coldfusion developers by coldfusion developers. We're celebrating the release of Coldfusion 8 all over Australia -- and there's a lot to celebrate. Ben is in town!

Fresh from the resounding success that was webDU 2007, we are raring to go for webDU 2008. If you have something new and revolutionary, some tricks of the trade to share, want to help your fellow developers or you're just pure passionate for web technology, don't miss your chance to take part in webDU 2008.

Justin Carter over at Madfellas has put together a cute little gadget to count down to webDU 2007. I love it when people get all excited about webDU :)

Had another crack at webJam this month. But despite my success last time, not even a mention in despatches. Still the daemonites were out in force and fun was had by all. Plus we got to show off the latest on FarCry CRM, give away webDU tickets and rub shoulders with the upper echelon of Sydney geekdom.

A quick follow up on my "Taming the Client" presentation; recording now available online. It's not your typical developer topic but I think its always fascinating to know how other companies tick. Essentially these are some of Daemon's methodologies laid bare. How do you manage web projects?

Wireframes, mockups, prototypes, methodology madness and more. Managing large web projects is a mixed bag of new technology, high flying expectations and compromises. Geoff tells tales from the trench, client war stories; things that work and things that don't. Good fodder for your project swiss army knife.
