WORKSHOPS

Async Programming
& Scheduling

In this session, we will explore the concepts of asynchronous and parallel programming with the ColdBox Async Manager and Java’s Completable Futures APIs. We will explore the concept of async computations, async pipelines, exception handling, scheduling and so much more. Pain medication not included.

Containerizing & Scaling
Your Applications

In this workshop, you will gain knowledge and proficiency in utilizing Docker containers to develop, deploy, and scale ColdFusion (CFML) applications. Be it to Docker swarms, Kubernetes, or other orchestration services. Get ready to send your applications out into the great wide world of containerization!

Legacy Code Conversion
To The Modern World!

This one-day workshop will focus on converting legacy .cfm based sites into a more modern coding design that has less overall code, is easier to maintain and manage, mistakes and errors can be more readily and speedily identified and fixed, and is easier to read.

TestBox: Getting started
with BDD-TDD Oh My!

This course will enhance your application toolbox and development skills: Understand the theory and principles behind software testing. Understand all types of testing and know when to apply them. Review tools of the trade. Implement TDD, BDD, and CI (Continuous Integration). Everything you wanted to know about the TestBox Framework.

VueJs SPA and Mobile App
with Rest APIs

In this workshop, we will be building a CFML ColdBox REST API powered Quiz Game with VueJS and deployed with SPA and Android + more

Meilisearch: A Search Platform for the Rest of Us Meilisearch is a lightweight, lightning-fast search platform which offers a full-text search experience for smaller websites and applications. In this session, Michael Born will be demoing Meilisearch capabilities, integrating a ColdBox app with Meilisearch, and showing us how we can benefit from Meilisearch's zero-config, minimal-fuss approach to the complex world of fuzzy search.	Cold Brews: Getting Started with Java in Your CFML Apps Matthew Clemente For CFML developers without a background in Java, the language can be intimidating and its use within applications ignored or misunderstood. More... Cold Brews: Getting Started with Java in Your CFML Apps For CFML developers without a background in Java, the language can be intimidating and its use within applications ignored or misunderstood. Let's dispel this confusion and deepen our understanding of Java, opening our ColdFusion applications up the wealth of features and functionality it provides. This session won't be abstract or theoretical - instead we'll explore practical examples of using Java to solve real-world CFML developer problems.

Modern ways to keep on top of crashes and errors in your applications Kai Koenig It doesn't matter if you're working on a website, an app or on a complex back end enterprise system. More... Modern ways to keep on top of crashes and errors in your applications It doesn't matter if you're working on a website, an app or on a complex back end enterprise system. We all know that software is usually not free of bugs. Monitoring your backend systems and having error logging mechanism for them is reasonably common nowadays. Logging issues in client-side apps is usually more complicated and requires some planning and usually additional libraries, but ideally you’d be able to track and follow issues across your tech stack and be notified of critical problems. All of these requirements fall into the bigger bucket of APM (Application Performance Management) This talk will provide insights into various approaches available to CFML developers. We'll start by having a look into the different types of exception and error objects you can run into when using ACF or Lucee and some of the underlying Java platforms. While you're developing useful information is usually presented to you on the screen or in some kind of device log or browser developer toolkit. But when your system is out there in production, you'll need some way to look at what's going on under the hood. A lot of people have built homegrown solutions over the years and reinvent the wheel over and over again. But Forgebox unveils a bunch of different available integrations: Raygun, Sentry, Bugsnag and others. They all follow a similar approach - sending error information to a cloud system where it's being analysed and displayed for you in a meaningful way. If you want to stay closer to home, the Box universe offers Logbox and Stachebox to work with error and logging information and make them easily accessible. Each of these solutions has its pros and cons, some of them can (and should probably) even be mixed-and-matched. After this session you'll have a much better understanding of the error logging and crash reporting ecosystem and will have seen common usage patterns. The session will also cover typical organisational concerns such as perceived performance overhead or cost and how to counter and debunk some of these myths by looking at the benefits of a comprehensive error logging solution.
