Today, Day 4's Videos from Into the Box 2022 Conference, 3 sessions related to ColdBox modules and Features. CBValidation, CBFuture and ColdBox Task Scheduling.

For the next 12 business days up until Christmas, we'll be releasing a series of related videos each day on the CFCasts site for our Paid and Unpaid CFCasts Subscribers, and a announcement with titles, descriptions, and links to the videos, right here on the Ortus blog. Consider it our early Christmas gift to you.

We were planning on releasing the videos on Dec 24th, but we couldn't wait any longer.

3 sessions related to ColdBox modules and Features. CBValidation, CBFuture and ColdBox Task Scheduling.

Javier Quintero - cbValidation Validate all things - Free

Learn alongside Javier Quintero, how to validate all things! Validations are fundamental when building APIs and web apps. Most of the time we skip validations and we open the door for bugs and issues in the app. Luckily, ColdBox has made this process simpler so we can prevent these issues from happening. With the cbValidation module, you can validate all incoming request data or populated objects. You can use the existing validators or create your own custom validators so you can validate everything the way you want.

Luis Majano - To the future with cbFutures

In this session, we will explore the asynchronous and parallel programming constructs built into ColdBox 6. Java has supported a robust and functional approach to asynchronous programming since JDK8 and now it is available to us all in the Coldfusion (CFML) World! To the future!

Brad Wood - ColdBox Task Scheduling Demystified

ColdBox Task Scheduling Demystified

The ColdBox Scheduled Tasks offers a fresh, programmatic and human approach to scheduling tasks on your server and multi-server application.

Scheduled tasks have always been a point of soreness for many developers in ANY language. Especially choosing where to place them for execution: should it be cron? windows task scheduler? ColdFusion engine? Jenkins, Gitlab? and the list goes on and on.

Inherited a CFML Application With Few Tests? Here’s Where to Start!

You need to change an application that has been running for years.

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.
