Given the growing popularity of our Hero workshops, we decided to host the last two of the year. Our goal is to modernize and empower developers so that they can have the tools they need to succeed. As such, please find below the dates and pertinent information:

Zero to Hero

Dates: October 8 -9

Instructor: Gavin Pickin

In this workshop you will be introduced to the latest version of the most popular CFML MVC framework; ColdBox 6. We will go over the basics of installation, templating and configuration to the most advanced features like HMVC development with modules, RESTFul APIs, integration testing, interception points and much more.

Hero to Superhero

Dates: October 22 - 23

Instructor: Luis Majano

In this workshop you will be building a headless CMS (Content Management System) via a secure and versioned RESTFul API. You will be leveraging security best practices and securing the API using JWT tokens and cbSecurity (coldbox-security.ortusbooks.com). Everything will be built using Behavior and Test Driven Programming. Every crook and cranny will have automated tests. You will be using several of the most advanced features of the CFML engine and of ColdBox HMVC. From flexible resource routing, AOP interception points, logging, fluent query building, integration and unit testing and so much more.

Now a release is approaching. You know more testing would help. The difficult part is deciding where to begin without putting every other priority on hold.

Start with one important workflow and build evidence around what it needs to do.

Your ColdFusion Upgrade Passed. Did Your Business Workflows?

The server restarted. The administrator shows the expected version. Your homepage loads, and a few familiar screens look fine.

Would you tell the business the upgrade is complete?

Consider an illustrative scenario: a customer submits an order after an upgrade. The application saves it and displays a confirmation page. But the confirmation email never arrives, and the scheduled process that sends the order to fulfillment has not completed.

From the browser, the transaction...
