Cocoon GetTogether

Good morning from Gent, where the Cocoon GetTogether will be starting in a few minutes. 134 registrations from 17 countries mean that this is the largest yet. The Hackathon yesterday was a good mix of bug hunting and ad-hoc discussions on topics such as Cocoon Forms, a new blocks concept for a more flexible Cocoon kernel and Cocoon documentation. The day was rounded off with some great spare ribs (as always) and more interesting Cocoon chat.

First talk of the morning is Bertrand describing what you "need" to know when writing an application with Cocoon. Using a project as an example he is detailing the different skills you need and which parts of Cocoon you should be looking at. His talk is here. Next up is Nico Verwer speaking about Test-driven development with Cocoon. The third session is Sylvain talking about the advanced uses of the forms framework in Cocoon. After his talk there are quite a few questions which show that the forms framework is something that interests a lot of people.
