TERATECH ANNOUNCES UPDATES TO CFUNITED-05: MICROSOFT TO SPONSOR PREMIER CONFERENCE FOR COLDFUSION DEVELOPMENT - JOEL SPOLSKY TO DELIVER KEYNOTE ADDRESS

TeraTech, a 15-year-old Rockville, Maryland-based consulting company that specializes in ColdFusion(R), Database, and Visual Basic development, announced today that Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) has signed up to be a gold-level sponsor for CFUNITED-05(TM), a new technical conference to take place June 29 - July 1, 2005 at the Montgomery County Conference Center in Rockville, Maryland.

TeraTech also announced that Joel Spolsky, an expert on software development and the founder of Fog Creek Software, will deliver the keynote address. His website, Joel on Software (www.joelonsoftware.com), is popular with software developers around the world and has been translated into over thirty languages. His latest book is Joel on Software (Apress 2004).

"We are thrilled to have Joel as our keynote speaker for CFUNITED-05," said Michael Smith, President of TeraTech. "Joel is smart, experienced, funny, and opinionated - we expect his keynote will be very popular with the ColdFusion community."

"CFUNITED is THE place to be this summer if you're doing ColdFusion development," said Joel Spolsky.

Current registration for CFUNITED-05 is already outpacing enrollment in last year's CFUN by 50%. CFUNITED was created by developers for developers, replacing and expanding on the six-year-old CFUN conference, with new topics and tracks aimed at corporate developers. The conference will bring together the entire ColdFusion community: developers, software architects, technical managers, systems integrators, thought leaders, and anyone else who is using or interested in learning about ColdFusion.

Registration and more conference details can be found at www.cfunited.com. Sponsorship packages are currently available at Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels. Contact Liz Frederick at 301-424-3903 x107 or liz@teratech.com for more information.
