Now back to the interviews
Michael Smith cornered Christian Cantrell (virtually, that is,) about his CFUN-
04 talk, "Flash for CFers."
Michael Smith: Christian, why should CF programmers be interested in Flash?
Christian Cantrell: The first thing I want to say is that this is not going to
be a session about why everything should be in Flash. Flash is just another tool
to have in your development toolbox. When specing out a project and trying to
solve technical or business problems, Flash offers you entirely new and unique
solutions...

Michael Smith found time to touch base again with Charlie Arehart, and speak
about his session on "Database" at the CFUN bootcamp track.
Michael Smith: Charlie, why is the database so important to new CF programmers?
Charlie Arehart: A new CFML developer won't go very far in their development of
an application before they want or need to use a database. Fortunately, CFML was
built from the beginning to make that very easy...

In this CFUN-04 interview, Sandra Clark discusses her talk on "CSS for Better
Sites."
Michael Smith: Sandra, why should we be using CSS?
Sandra Clark: There are so many reasons to use CSS, its hard to know where to
start. CSS allows us to separate our content, the meat of our pages, from the
presentation. Doing this allows for: faster loading pages, easier maintenance,
faster redesign and so much more. Sites that separate content from presentation
are by design much more usable to alternative browsers such as screen readers
from the beginning...

In this CFUN-04 interview, Michael Smith talks with Stephen Shapiro of 24/7
Innovation about his keynote talk at CFUN-04, "SpeedInnovating(TM): Breakthrough
Solutions at Breakneck Speed".
Michael Smith: Why should programmers care about SpeedInnovating?
Stephen Shapiro: As with many industries, website development has become a bit
of a commodity. The challenge is to de-commoditize yourself and your work;
differentiate yourself from the competition. If you only try what has worked in
the past (for you or for others), you will only develop incrementally better
solutions over time. To stand out from the crowd, you need to look at problems
a fundamentally different way. And that is what SpeedInnovating is all about.
MS: With all the talk about outsourcing going on that sounds like a very
important thing to do now. Is this really something that we can learn in 45
minutes?
