CommandBox Zero to Hero Workshop

August 27th - 28th

Instructor: Brad Wood

CommandBox is an indispensable tool for the modern CFML developer. Whether you're using it for local development, or production deployment, this workshop will start with the basics of using CommandBox CLI in your everyday workflow. We'll show basic command line usage, helpful modules, and tips/tricks for being fast and efficient. Day 1 will cover package management, CLI scripting with Task Runners, and extending CommandBox with modules. Day 2 will be a deep dive into server management with CommandBox. We've review all the JSON files you need to know about to spin up servers easily and cover how to deploy to production on CommandBox, whether in Docker or with the Service Manager module. As an added bonus, we'll be offering a free license of the CommandBox Service Manager module to attendees. For tickets and more info, click here!

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.
