I couldn\u2019t wait to get home so I could start working on them. Some of them I\u2019ve already tried, and the speed increase on displaying HTML in my app is incredible. And this means Bo\u2019s session alone is worth the cost of the conference to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn short, Steve\u2019s done a <strong>ton<\/strong> of work that I have avoided like the plague.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I think there\u2019s a lot more than two good reasons: more like 200! One for each session (you learn a lot in each one), one for each speaker (you get to hang out with and pick the brains of the brightest VFP developers on the planet for free!), one for each attendee (networking with other developers is one of the most important reasons to attend any conference), plus the food, the fun (don\u2019t forget go-karts this year!), and the gorgeous Phoenix weather.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t already registered for Southwest Fox, check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swfox.net\/sessions.aspx\">session line-up<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swfox.net\/whoscoming.aspx\">who else is coming<\/a> that you might like to meet or renew acquaintances with, then <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swfox.net\/register.aspx\">sign up<\/a> for Southwest Fox before the September 1 early-bird deadline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kevin Ragsdale blogged about two good reasons to attend Southwest Fox this year.
