Man... tough decisions!!! My schedule for cf.Objective()

ColdFusion

I visited Sean's blog this morning and saw that he had posted his schedule for cf.Objective() over the weekend.  Considering the fact I always wait till last minute for that kind of thing I figured that I would break my routine and do something ahead of time for once (unlike my taxes!).   I registered for cf.Objective() based on the reports from last year, and the speaker list from this year but hadn't really taken time to go through the schedule.... well...  Holy cow!  

At CFUnited the last couple of years, I can't remember any session times that there was *no* interesting topic, but it was usually quite easy to make up my mind as they keep it nicely broken up with a topics targeted to various skill level during each time.  cf.Objective() looks to be a little more challenging in that regard.  I was glad to see that some of the presentations will be repeated, since this helped me break a deadlock on a few contests.  As it stands, there are still about 7 sessions that I am undecided on.

Below is my set of choices so far.  The green ones are the ones that I am pretty firm on.  The yellow ones are the times that I am down to 2 sessions to choose between.   With the red ones I am completely undecided.  I welcome any input to sway me towards more green!

I'd go to anything new on Scorpio if unsure which session to pick.

Be sure to say Hi after my session. ;)

Session 2, Hal is always fantastic, but it might be hard to compete with an Adobe guy who will most likely be talking up Scorpio.

For Day 2, after lunch. Jeff C knows Far Cry really well, but I'll probably opt to see Simeon.

At the end of day 3, I'll definitely be at Chris Scott's ColdSpring Flex presentation (flights permitting).
