NCFUG Model Glue:Unity Preso

So tonight I did a presentation for the Nashville ColdFusion User Group on Object Oriented Development with Model Glue:Unity. This was a preso I was supposed to do last month, but some minor confusion with a new location (and the happy birth of a child a few days prior) had me standing in front of an audience of one. This actually worked out great, because it gave me an extra month to prepare, and allowed Aaron time to figure out the best way to record the presentation via Breeze (or 'Adobe Acrobat Connect Professional', as it is now called.)

This preso covered some "Why should I?" type questions, basic setup of the Unity frameworks and sample application template, as well as a hands on demo of using Reactor to do the grunt work. I need to give a big shout out to Aaron for picking up a really nice Logitech USB Headset w/ Mic the day before, as well as a thanks to all of those who attended either live or via the breeze session.

Once again, you can view the recording that Aaron put together during the presentation, or just go to the Nashville ColdFusion User Group's website. I'm including a FlashPaper copy of the slides with this post (the Download link below), but the hands on demo is in the presentation.

Andy Matthews's Gravatar I agree...

This presentation was REALLY helpful and informative. Got me excited about learning and using Model-Glue!

Cutter's Gravatar Thanks Dan (and Andy), though mine will be five in December, it was Aaron who became a papa.

Aaron West's Gravatar Yea, I'm the proud new papa!!! I highly encourage folks to check out the recording. Cutter did a fantastic job presenting a very polished and prepared preso. It was quite refreshing to have one go so well. And the audio... the mic was worth the cash. It's cool not only because the quality was good, but it came with a nice little travel case. Perfect for Breezo's (or should I say connecto's).

Doug Cranston's Gravatar Enjoyed the Breezo. Encountered the link on Joe Rineharts site.
Question.. Do you have a zip file of the code you worked on available.

I have listened to the Breezo 2 times so far and have been picking up pieces ...

But if you have the code you were building, that would be great.

And are you planning 2 of MG:U 101 any time soon?

Thanks again,

Doug Cranston

Cutter's Gravatar Doug,

No, I didn't save the code. I was doing everything pretty much on the fly, and never bothered to save it all off because I thought I was going slow enough to catch it (sorry, 'bout that). You should be able to pause the preso along the way though, right?
