  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.

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.
