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.

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...
