ColdFusion Summit East 2023 Recap

The 2023 CF Summit East Conference wrapped up yesterday — it was a fun, albeit short, trip. I’m already on a flight back hope; sadly no time for tourist things on this trip (tho my sushi dinner with Minh Vo yesterday was fantastic so I’ll take that as a win).

My CF Summit East Schedule

Greetings from the Chicago Airport! I'm currently waiting on my flight that's been delayed several times. This place becomes even more of a zoo every time I'm here. Anyway, assuming they find a way to get me to DC before morning (cross your fingers!), I'll be speaking at the CF Summit East tomorrow.

Are you taking the ColdBox Master Class on CFCasts? Some folks were asking where to find the Vandelay Forum app that I used in the video training.

Free ColdBox Training For The Rest Of 2022

CFML developers that still say "I don't know how to use ColdBox", your excuses are now officially invalid. ;) The ColdBox Master Class video training series that I produced for Ortus Solutions is FREE for the rest of the year!

Adobe CF Summit 2022 Recap

The Adobe CF Summit 2022 is done! I'm down in the hotel lobby waiting for my ride to the airport which means it's officially time to work on my conference recap! Honestly I can't think of any reason that this conference wasn't a huge success for everyone involved.

Recently I’ve been experimenting with Hazelcast, trying to wrap my head around various uses cases and how I might take advantage of the technology in some of our projects.

Why Do Some CFML Jobs Require Degrees?

Earlier today in the ColdFusion Programmers forum on Facebook somebody asked (I’m paraphrasing a little) why do some ColdFusion jobs require a Computer Science degree when they don’t teach CFML in college? I have 2 answers...

ColdFusion Summit 2021 Recap

Last month was the ColdFusion Summit 2021 Conference. Like many events lately this one was virtual (as opposed to the usual meetup in Vegas) but I'd say this was still worth attending for anyone near the CFML space.

Speaking at ColdFusion Summit 2021

It's official -- I'm speaking at the Adobe ColdFusion Summit 2021!  It's been way too long, I'm looking forward to seeing all of your smiling faces, even if it's just virtually.

CFCamp Notes: Lucee 5 and 6

Gert and Micha kicked off day 1 of CFCamp with several demos of new things planned for Lucee. We saw code, we heard plans. There were demos, there were jokes, and there was lots of entertainment watching people try to use a German keyboard. :)
