Those who didn't attend missed a great meeting last night! First of all, all who attended got free goodies! Since Allaire has merged with Macromedia, they're trying to get rid of all their stuff (t-shirts, etc), and they have been kind enough to pass them onto the User Groups. So everyone at the meeting last night got a free Allaire t-shirt (in one of three designs) and as many Allaire pens as they could hold in the hand! The meeting was graciously sponsored by Imaginuity Interactive (www.imaginuity.com), a design shop in Dallas. They informed the group that in a market that's fairly rough right now, they're looking for people - if you know pure HTML/web design, ColdFusion, or Flash, give Ben Dyer a call at 214.740.4700. Additionally, they gave away a handful of t-shirts. Our speaker was Bill Rogers, CEO of Ektron. He spoke about content management in general, and his company's products, eWebEditPro and emPower. eWebEditPro is a WYSIWYG control that is easily integrated into your applications, allowing your users to edit their own content through a web-based interface. emPower is a content-management solution that runs as a ColdFusion app - it handles source control, versioning, security, and more. Bill's presentation was excellent - while he is the CEO, this was more than a sales spiel - he obviously knows his product and the world of development. Throughout the night, you heard all sorts of approving comments from the crowd - "cool!" "wow!" - I'm sure I saw one or two jaws drop. Bill did an excellent job, as he wasn't able to do a demo as planned, due to lack of projector. However, he stuck around for 20-30 minutes after the meeting to demonstrate his company's products to any that were interested. Additionally, he gave away a free copy of eWebEditPro and emPower - over $3300 in prizes! Winners will be posted on the website (www.dfwcfug.org). Be sure to come to next month's meeting. It will be an open discussion style meeting, over the topics you folks want to discuss most. Details to follow. -- Billy Cravens HR Web Development, Sabre [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email server is running an evaluation copy of the MailShield anti- spam software.
