At Ortus Solutions, we're excited to offer our comprehensive Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) series, designed specifically for CFML developers. Whether you're new to OOP or looking to deepen your understanding, this series led by Nolan Erck is the perfect resource to help you master both the fundamentals and advanced features.

In this series, you'll start from the basics of OOP in ColdFusion and gradually explore more advanced concepts. Topics covered include:

  • Creating CF components and understanding variable scopes.
  • Working with OOP structures such as constructors, public/private variables, and abstract classes.
  • Understanding core OOP principles like inheritance, composition, and interfaces.
  • Applying design patterns like the observer pattern and factory pattern to enhance your code structure.
  • Learning how these concepts translate to other languages like Java, C#, and C++.

No prior knowledge of ColdFusion components is required—just a basic understanding of programming concepts such as variables, functions, and control structures. Plus, you’ll get hands-on with real code demos using CommandBox to spin up ColdFusion servers.

It might be a ColdFusion customer portal, a Lucee application supporting internal operations, or a CFML system your team is preparing to modernize. People depend on it, but some of its behavior lives in old tickets, scattered documentation, and the memory of whoever has supported it longest.

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...
