Guess Who’s Coming To CFUnited?

Guess who’s coming to CFUnited? Me! When I first noticed CFUnited had submissions open for 2010 I wanted to get something in quickly – but wanted to be a bit more organized and formal than I was during last years submission!  I think I entered one short paragraph sorely lacking in details last year – oops.

So last session we looked at using the clipboard.  Today we’ll explore using Autohotkey to launch applications and build a very simple GUI.
