As we're recovering from our third annual ColdBox Developers Week, we'd like to give a shout out of thanks to everyone who participated.  From our sponsors, to the speakers and the attendees; everyone helped play a part in making these 21 training sessions fun and informative.  We hope everyone had as much fun learning as we did putting this on.

Prizes

Thanks to our sponsors, Ortus Solutions and Computer Know How, we had tons of prizes to give away. Here's a recap of the winners.  Congratulations!

Furthermore, we offered additional prizes to the first two people to submit new packages to ForgeBox-- CFML's newest and most comprehensive code repository.  The following two people stepped up:

Recordings
