  Pecha Kucha BOF

I am very excited for this years cf.Objective().  This will be my third year and each year it has gotten better and I always leave inspired and ready to improve all aspects of my craft.  It is great to be surrounded by like minded individuals with the same goal to make themselves better at what they do. 

This year I have the unique honor to present at the Pecha Kucha BOF that Bob Silverberg organized.  I will be presenting on Mocking, it's not just for picking on people.  So, you should come join the crowd at the BOF and mock me, or at least learn new ways to mock. 

If you haven't registered for cf.Objective().  I believe you still can today.  You should also be sure to register for the ColdBox  1 day training workshop.  So, stop what your doing right now and head on over to the registration page and go for it.

Hope to see you at the BOF.  And thanks Bob for organizing it.

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...
