HighEdWeb 2010

I am just finishing up my time here at HighEdWeb 2010, here in Cincinnati. I work remotely for Xavier University, also located in Cincinnati, so I had the best of both worlds, being a local and being from out of town. It was a good conference this year, with a sold-out crowd who showed up in high numbers for conference and non-conference happenings.

I saw some great presentations on cool things that universities across the US are doing as part of their web presence, and some presentations on what not to do. I also had the opportunity to present on some of the things that we do at Xavier.

As one of the usually few, but proud, ColdFusion users I spent a fair amount of time defending our use of CF. There are a lot of misconceptions out there about CF, usually stemming from what it was like in 2001. In case you missed it, it has changed a bit since then!

Next year the conference is in Austin, and I am already brainstorming ideas that could win Xavier their first red stapler (best of track) award.
