Are you ready to enter the exciting world of app building? In today's world, 60% of people are viewing your website on a mobile phone most sites are hard to navigate.  People constantly have to scrolling around and zoom in and out to get all the information. The first option is to make a responsive site which will help but in squishing all your content down into a smaller screen, you lose a lot of the design aspects you spent all your time working on. 

What about a mobile app? Well that's just way too expensive to create, and plus you have to know Objective-C (or Swift) and Java.... Well thanks to some help from our friends at Ionic Framework now you too can create a mobile app without having to learn new languages. Now you can fully customize your user's experience on your site, plus use all of the functionality that is available to the phone. You can easily integrate popular plugins such as the Camera, Geolocation, Contacts, Bluetooth, TouchID, Accelerometer, and much more...

In my Webinar on March 30th I will give a quick overview of Ionic Framework and the Ionic Ecosystem, create a ContentBox REST API, and build an Ionic App that will pull live data from the ContentBox API to display pages and blog posts.

Reactive vs Proactive ColdFusion Support: Why Waiting for an Outage Is the Most Expensive Strategy

Reactive vs Proactive ColdFusion Support: Why Waiting for an Outage Is the Most Expensive Strategy

Many ColdFusion environments operate in a reactive mode without realizing it.

Everything seems fine… until something breaks.

A server crashes.

Performance drops suddenly.

An integration stops working.

A security audit reveals missing patches.

At that point the response is urgent:

“Can someone help us fix this now?”

Emergency support is sometimes unavoidable. But when reactive intervention becomes the norm, it usually means something deep...
