Developer Ignite offers Nerds a chance to shine

Developer Ignite is a free information exchange event designed to connect developers in the Phoenix area and allow them to share topics of interest with a group of people.  Inspired in part by Ignite Phoenix, Developer Ignite is not only a great way to hear new ideas, but it is also a great opportunity to network with like-minded nerds. 

Since this is a technical event, topics will be centered on relevant and important information to software developers.

Ignite-style events are gaining in popularity, due to their rapid format.  Each speaker gets 5 minutes and 20 slides (rotated automatically after 15 seconds) to share a topic that they are passionate about.  After the presentations, attendees and presenters mingle together to further discuss and elaborate on the topics.

This event is sponsored by the Intel Software Network and held at Gangplank.  With any luck, our Chief Nerd Bret will be presenting at Developer Ignite on July 22nd.  Here is his submission:

TOPIC: What you don't know about ColdFusion will knock you on your ass
BENEFITS: Most of the Developers and Companies in the PHX area are Ruby on Rails shops, PHP shops, or .NET shops.  Few know the true potential behind ColdFusion and what CF has to offer.  With his 5 minutes, Bret will give an overview of just how awesome ColdFusion is and why other developers in the area should be more open to it.

Hope to see you at Developer Ignite on July 22nd!  Find out more about Ignite here:  http://ignite.oreilly.com/
