"Busting CF myths, the present/future of CF", with Rakshith Naresh

Our 11am, yes that's 11am, (US ET) talk on Thursday Nov 2 will be "Busting ColdFusion myths with the present and the future of ColdFusion", with Adobe CF Product Manager, Rakshith Naresh. My apologies for the last minute notice, which is entirely my fault.

Also sorry for the odd start time, but this is what worked best for him, and I really wanted to get this talk on ASAP as I think all CF folks need to hear what Rakshith has to say, after I've seen him present the talk at recent conferences.
