One of the great things about Scotch, is the ability to call on Adobe Consulting EMEA. The old iteration::two crowd were acquired by Macromedia and therefore Adobe and are based out of Edinburgh, and that gives us an incredible talent to call upon.

And with that, we have 6 sessions from Steven Webster's team.

• Alex Uhlmann - Test Driven Develompent Applied to Flex
• Alistair McLeod - Realtime Collaboration and Adobe Flex
• Paul Williams - Patterns and Best-Practices for Rich Internet Applications: Exploring the Presentation
• Peter Martin - Introduction to Data Management Services with Flex
• Leon Tanner - Modularising your Flex Application
• Borre Wessel - Automated Building and Testing of Rich Internet Applications

Steven won't be given a session this year, however he will be part of the Wednesday morning keynote session, that will also feature Ben Forta, Adam Lehman and Andrew Shorten.

We will be releasing a new version of the agenda soon to take into account these new sessions.

We're delighted to announce that Intergral, makers of FusionDebug and FusionReactor, will be sponsoring Scotch on the Rocks again this year.

Additionally, they will be sending everysone's favourite CFML expert, Charlie Arehart to present on the Fusion products.

We're delighted to announce Sanjeev Kumar as a speaker at Scotch on the Rocks. Sanjeev is part of the ColdFusion Engineering team and has been with them for the last 3 years.

If the PDF Forms/Manipulation features of ColdFusion 8 are of interest, then Sanjeev's talk will be of most interest to you. Not just because he's speaking on that topic, but also because he built them.

Jason was supposed to speak last year but went off to do something more interesting instead. At least, that's what he thought. When the feedback from Scotch '07 filtered back to him he was really annoyed he didn't make it.

So, for 2008 the ColdFusion Product Manager is heading to Edinburgh to speak, mingle and get drunk - it's a conference after all!

Marking our 25th speaker for Scotch 2008, we're delighted to have Radview's Amir Shoval on board.

Amir is the VP of Product Management at Radview, who produce Performance and Load Testing software for web applications. Of particular interest is their Load Testing software for Flex

Nick Watson is Adobe's Technical Account Manager for ColdFusion, Flex and LiveCycle Data Services ES here in Europe, and he's the latest speaker to be announced for Scotch.

We're really going all out to make Scotch the best conference possible, and we believe we are putting together a fantastic speaker line up to cater for everyone.

Today we're delighted to announce Luca Mezzalira, an Italian Flash Platform Developer - we won't hold it against him just because Italy qualified for Euro 2008 instead of Scotland.

A certified developer and instructor, we can expect to see great things in regards mobile devices during his presentation.

The latest speaker to join the ranks for Scotch is Neil Webb, a Flash platform developer / flower arranger / erotic dancer - hey that's what his blog says!
