GreenRope is a subscription-based CRM and marketing system. GreenRope is an accessible and flexible platform that allows its users to choose and use the features that work for them. When Lars was in the air force, he was part of a very large ‘machine'. He found the bureaucracy stifling, he wanted to express his creativity and solve problems and effect change, which he felt he could do so if he worked for himself. As an entrepreneur, you have to be able to think about what value you can provide to people and consider the right price for it. When you choose to grow organically you can only grow alongside the capital you create which can become challenging as the market you are in matures. Perseverance and dedication are what Lars attributes to his continual success throughout his business journey. He also stresses how important it is to be flexible and pivot when needed.

They looked at how to add tags, security, parameters, requestbody, responses and different ways to organize your apidocs after great questions from one of the Patreons, David Bellanger. David prompted them to go down a rabbit hole, but opened an interesting train of thought, with modularized tests and apidocs, where the goal is encapsulation.The session covered a lot, and finished with Gavin showing a couple of box.json scripts using CommandBox task runners to validate your swagger docs, and how to import your swagger doc into Postman, and using Environment Variables with Postman tests.https://cfcasts.com/series/koding-with-the-kiwi-+-friends/videos/20220701-koding-with-the-kiwi-+-friends-daniel-garcia-api-documentation No koding with the kiwi this week! - Gavin will be back next week!Adobe WorkshopsJoin the Adobe ColdFusion Workshop to learn how you and your agency can leverage ColdFusion to create amazing web content.

My last post outlined how I used CommandBox to allow me to manage my blog from the command line. I enjoyed that experience so I thought I would work with CommandBox once again.Last year I wrote a static site generator called Jasper. So far I have built Jasper using ColdBox as well as FW1. I am going to take things one step further and I will implement Jasper as a CommandBox module. Apparently I really enjoy writing SSGs.I decided to split the project in to two main parts: the jasper-cli blog scaffold and the jasper command that handles generating the static site.https://kisdigital.com/post/commandbox-jasper-ssg-generatorhttps://github.com/robertz/jasper-cli.git 7/4/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Building-Up A Complex Objects Using Form POST-Backs In ColdFusionNormally, when building forms in ColdFusion, I have simple key-value pairs that map neatly onto individual form fields. Recently, however, I've been working on a form workflow that needs to both construct and populate a complex object before the data can be persisted. To manage this workflow, I'm borrowing an idea from ASP.net wherein the "state" of the page is posted back to the server on each form submission. This "state" can then be acted upon by the ColdFusion server in order to maintain complex data structures across page loads.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4294-building-up-a-complex-objects-using-form-post-backs-in-coldfusion.htm 7/3/22 - Tweet - James Moberg - Updated our MSSQL JDBC libraries from 9.4 to 10.2 for use with #ColdFusionI just updated our MSSQL JDBC libraries from 9.4 to 10.2 for use with #ColdFusion (better than Adobe's built-in third-party drivers IMHO.) A breaking change = secure-by-default.

But, the "randomness" isn't entirely random: the set values needs to be assigned using a weighted distribution. Meaning, over a period of time, each value should be "randomly assigned" a limited percentage of the time. I'm sure there are fancy / mathy ways to do this; but, I've found that pre-calculating an array of repeated values makes the value-selection process simple in Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4292-using-an-array-to-power-weighted-distributions-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-8-201.htm CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 100 ColdFusion positions from 55 companies across 47 locations in 5 Countries.3 new jobs listedFull-Time - Senior Full Stack Developer [Coldfusion, Contract, 6 months .. - United States Jul 04https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Senior-Full-Stack-Developer-Coldfusion-Contract-6-months-recurring-at-Boston-MA/11490 Full-Time - COLDFUSION DEVELOPER at Hyderabad, Telangana - India Jul 01https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/india/COLDFUSION-DEVELOPER-at-Hyderabad-Telangana/11489 Full-Time - Coldfusion Professional at Chennai, Tamil Nadu - India Jun 29https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/india/Coldfusion-Professional-at-Chennai-Tamil-Nadu/11488 PATREON SPONSORED JOB POSTING!Hagerty - MotorSportReg (pronounced REDGE)Senior Software Engineer, MotorsportWe are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to work primarily with Node/Vue.js, ColdFusion, and AWS to improve our platform and build greenfield experiences.We are a 25-person team supporting 1,600 organizations with our SaaS CRM, commerce and event management platform.

I wrote a CF static site generator called Jasper that manages content by dropping markdown files into the /posts folder, dynamically generating a static site that can be deployed anywhere. The current iteration of the blog is running Jasper as a server; Instead of reading markdown files, posts are returned from a database.The system works well, but the one downside to using a database how to manage the posts. I did not want to write an admin interface, I would prefer to manage it like it is a static site generator. The posts will be saved in the database, but I can retrieve a post and save it as a markdown file for editing and posted back to the server when done. As a matter of fact, I am editing this post in vscode.I thought about how I would implement something like that. As it turns out, it was much easier than I expected.https://kisdigital.com/post/how-i-use-commandbox-with-my-blog6/25/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Namespacing Components With Per-Application Mappings In ColdFusionIn my ColdFusion applications, I use a lot of components. But, these components are, for the most part, application-specific and live seamlessly alongside my application's custom mappings. Recently, however, I've been thinking about writing a "module" (ie, a set of related components) that I might want to use in multiple applications. And, it wasn't immediately obvious to me how I might define my ColdFusion per-application mappings in order to avoid conflicts with an application's existing component tree. As such, I wanted to experiment with using per-application mappings to create "namespaces" for shared ColdFusion components.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4291-namespacing-components-with-per-application-mappings-in-coldfusion.htm 6/23/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Updating My Mental Model For Shared Array / Struct Iteration In ColdFusionIn the very early days of ColdFusion, it was considered a "Best Practice" to synchronize access to all shared data structures. Meaning, to single-thread the access in order to avoid race conditions. Over time, this practice became much more nuanced; and, more of the native data types within ColdFusion became synchronized by default. Meaning, they were being made thread-safe internally. I believe that my mental model for iteration over shared data structures is outdated. As such, I wanted to run some parallel iterations in Adobe ColdFusion 2021 and Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4289-updating-my-mental-model-for-shared-array-struct-iteration-in-coldfusion.htm 6/24/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Looking At The Performance Overhead Of A Read-Only Lock In Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201In yesterday's post, I demonstrated that iterating over shared Structs and Arrays is thread-safe in ColdFusion; assuming, of course, that the access is read-only. But, what if I need to occasionally mutate the shared data? In that case, I'd have to acquire an exclusive lock some of the time; which, in turn, means that I'd have to acquire a read-only lock most of the time. This got me thinking about the performance overhead of a read-only lock in Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201.The performance overhead of an exclusive lock is easier to understand because it essentially single-threads access to a given block of code. So, if nothing else, there's a limit to the throughput on an exclusive lock. But, with a read-only lock, throughput isn't an issue (unless there's a competing exclusive lock) - multiple threads can access the same read-only lock at the same time.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4290-looking-at-the-performance-overhead-of-a-read-only-lock-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-8-201.htm 6/24/22 - Blog - Charlie Arehart - Understanding the "cost" of cflock, part 1In a post today on his blog, Ben Nadel did an experiment "Looking At The Performance Overhead Of A Read-Only Lock". (He happened to do it in Lucee, but the concept applies equally to CF.)And I wanted to offer some additional thoughts--first planning to offer them as a comment--because there's a lot behind the question and his observations. But as it got longer, I realized it was too long for a comment. Also, I didn't want people to think (in reading a comment on Ben's blog) that I was challenging Ben or questioning his understanding of the matter! Not at all. :-) Instead, I was just wanting to add more context, to help other readers, and based on my years of observing the community.https://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2022/6/24/understanding_cflock_cost_part_1 CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 100 ColdFusion positions from 55 companies across 47 locations in 5 Countries.3 new jobs listedFull-Time - Senior ColdFusion Developer at Remote - United KingdomJun 27https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-kingdom/Senior-ColdFusion-Developer-at-Remote/11487 Full-Time - SE-ColdFusion at Bengaluru, Karnataka - India Jun 27https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/india/SEColdFusion-at-Bengaluru-Karnataka/11486Full-Time - Senior ColdFusion Developer - GeoNorth Information Systems a.. - United StatesJun 25https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Senior-ColdFusion-Developer-GeoNorth-Information-Systems-at-Alaska/11485 PATREON SPONSORED JOB POSTING!Hagerty - MotorSportRegSenior Software Engineer, MotorsportWe are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to work primarily with Node/Vue.js, ColdFusion, and AWS to improve our platform and build greenfield experiences.We are a 25-person team supporting 1,600 organizations with our SaaS CRM, commerce and event management platform.

From their discussion, I learned that there is an experimental value called, stale-while-revalidate. And, while this post isn't about HTTP caching, their discussion got me thinking about different ways in which I might manage a server-side cache of data that needs to be kept in-sync with a remote data source. I wanted to do some noodling of what a "stale while revalidate" workflow might look like in ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4287-considering-a-stale-while-revalidate-pattern-to-caching-in-coldfusion.htm 6/20/22 - Blog - Peter Amiri - CFWheels - CFWheels HTMX Plugin publishedA few weeks ago I published a Todo app using CFWheels on the backend and HTMX to provide the interactivity on the front end to make the app look and feel like a full blown SPA app. As I was developing that app I ran into a few things that I wish we had to make development with HTMX a little easier. But I'm getting ahead of myself.https://cfwheels.org/blog/cfwheels-htmx-plugin-published/ 6/20/22 - Blog - Brad Wood - In response to Ben Nadel - Output ANSI formatting in your server logBen Nadel recently asked me on Twitter if he could put colored text in his server's console log… and the response didn't fit in twitters little box.https://community.ortussolutions.com/t/output-ansi-formatting-in-your-server-log/9291 6/20/22 - Blog - Peter Amiri - CFWheels - Wheels CLI matures to Version 1.0It's hard to believe it took so long to get here but modern CFML development has come a long way thanks to tools like CommandBox and ForgeBox. The Wheels CLI is built as a CommandBox module and wouldn't have even been possible without the support of the fine folks at Ortus Solutions.The first commit to the repo for this project was committed back in July of 2016. It's taken a while, that's an understatement, to get here but Wheels itself jumped to 2.0, CommandBox matured, and we were able to put the plumbing in place to support the communication between the CLI and the running server. With nearly 300 commits in the repo, 25 commands in the CLI, and over 20 pages of documentation, it's now time to take the alpha/beta label off send this baby out into the world.Note: Wheels CLI is a CommandBox module that you can use to work with the framework (generate scaffolding, tests, etc)https://cfwheels.org/blog/wheels-cli-matures-to-version-1-0/ 6/20/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Playing With Java Pattern's Named Capture Groups In ColdFusionIn yesterday's post on the new jreExtract() method in JRegEx.cfc, I was aliasing the Regular Expression (RegEx) capture groups with human-friendly labels as part of my demo-output. This reminded me that the Java Pattern class added named capture groups in Java 7 (circa 2010); and, I've yet to ever try them out. As such, I thought it was high-time to give named capture groups a try in ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4286-playing-with-java-patterns-named-capture-groups-in-coldfusion.htm 6/20/22 - Blog - Ortus Solutions - Into the Box - Updates as of June 20th, 2022Into the Box Super Early Bird ticket pricing is over, but you can still get the Early Bird.

I use them probably every day in some capacity. And, I've loved having my JRegEx.cfc project to simplify many pattern-based interactions. Today, I'm adding one more tool to that toolbox: jreExtract(). The jreExtract() method matches a Java Regular Expression against an input String and returns a Struct of the captured groups. Sometimes, I want to use a single pattern-match to pluck-out parts of a string in ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4285-adding-jreextract-to-pluck-captured-groups-using-regular-expressions-in-coldfusion.htm 6/17/22 - Blog -  Ortus Solutions - Ortus Content Digest for week of June 17thWhat has Ortus been publishing this week?

This workshop Legacy Code Conversion To The Modern World! with Dan Card, will start with an app that has been created as a single .cfm page. During the day we'll look at why the idea of refactoring is even worth considering if the code we have is working. What makes a site “traditional” vs “modern”? We'll start off looking at the issues that usually drive working on your code and how refactoring is definitely a process and the accumulation of many small changes rather than an single massive event.http://www.intothebox.org/blog/itb-2022-podcast-series-workshop-legacy-code-conversion-to-the-modern-world-with-dan-card.ITB 2022 Podcast Series - Workshop - TestBox - Getting started with BDD-TDD with Brad WoodThis podcast is a special podcast for attendees or undecided attendees, to get a view of what the workshop has to offer.

Each day will have 2 sessions, 11am CDT and 2pm CDT Sessions will be live, with Q&A via Zoom for ITB Attendee ticket holders. The recorded sessions will be provided to the ITB attendees for download to watch prior to the conference (on the plane for example) in case they cannot attend the live session. We will also have a viewing area on site, which will act like a 3rd track at the conference itself. Speakers will be announced next week New Releases and UpdatesA MEW feature has rolled out to the CommandBox Service Manager - Task ServicesA mew feature has rolled out to the CommandBox Service Manager module.

I often hear many of these points in discussions, but I wonder how many people know and consider them, so I wanted to share my pros and cons.This presentation will help convince you that libraries are not EVIL like so many haters believe. Choosing the right libraries will make you more productive and efficient, not lazy. We'll look at how to identify solid use-cases for using a 3rd party library in your application. It gives you a checklist of questions to help you identify the red flags of unsafe, unreliable, poorly supported, or ill-suited libraries.We'll look at some CF Landscape exampleshttps://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/events/286262739/ Recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JP-_U41zW9Q Online CF Meetup - “How to find, install and implement 3rd party libraries in CFML” with Gavin PickinThursday, June 23, 20229:00 AM to 10:00 AM PDTIn this meetup, Gavin will show you how to find, install and implement 3rd party libraries in ColdFusion / CFML. He will look at how to find them, how to install them, whether they are zips, gists, copy page, package managers, or even Java Jar files. We'll look at the pros and cons of different approaches, and discuss the best practices for using those 3rd party libraries.Meetup Link: https://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/events/286569044/ ICYMI - Live Stream Series - Koding with the Kiwi + FriendsSpecial Guest - Adam Cameron - Talking TDDFriday, June 10th, at 1pm PDTCFCasts Recording: https://cfcasts.com/series/koding-with-the-kiwi-+-friends/videos/20220610-koding-with-the-kiwi-+-friends-adam-cameron-tdd-testing Live Stream Series - Koding with the Kiwi + FriendsSpecial Guest - Kai Koenig - Talking Databases, ORM, and Database TestingFriday, June 17th, at 1pm PDTPatreon's check your email, there will be an email sent Wednesday with the registration link for the zoom call… or keep an eye out in the Patreon Only BoxTeam Slack channel or the Ortus Community Forum section.Not a patreon?

I highly recommend it as a test of your skills, I guarantee everyone will learn something new.Yes, but there's also over 100 hours of video to go over before the 1 day lecture + cert. So you watch videos, sit in class, then take the exam there.

The other day, I was writing an Update method in a data access object (DAO) within my ColdFusion application. This update method was updating an optional relationship within my domain model. Meaning, the target row wasn't guaranteed to exist. As such, I decided to author the underlying SQL statement as an Upsert method that would use the ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE semantics. This would allow me to either update the existing row or create a new row on-the-fly. Technically, this worked like a charm; but, emotionally, I felt deeply conflicted.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4281-its-ok-to-be-super-explicit-in-your-data-access-method-names.htm 6/14/22 - Blog - Michael Born - How Can I use a Jar library in CFML?CFML makes it simple to instantiate and use native Java classes without leaving CFML-land. For example, we can use Java's SimpleDateFormat library to format a date object. In order to use a third-party java library, however, such as the Jsoup HTML parser, you will need to load the jar into the CFML engine first, so let's see how we can do that.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/how-can-i-use-a-jar-library-in-cfml 6/14/22 - Wil De Bruin - Logbox: automated archiving of your logsWhen you start using Logbox the amount of logged messages can add up quickly, leading to huge logfiles or database tables with many many logEntries. Logbox has many different appender types, and in some cases size of your logs is controlled by external systems such as lucee or for example the logrotate system in Linux. If you are logging to a file you could use a rollingFileAppender which limits the file size, and for this appender you can configure the max number of file archives.https://shiftinsert.nl/logbox-automated-archiving-of-your-logs/ 6/13/22 - Blog / Podcast - ITB 2022 Podcast Series - Workshop - TestBox - Getting started with BDD-TDD with Brad WoodThis podcast is a special podcast for attendees or undecided attendees, to get a view of what the workshop has to offer.

Adam suggested submitting a GUID (Globally Unique ID) along with the form POST and then storing that GUID in the target table. I think this is definitely the right direction; but, I didn't like the idea of storing a value in the table simply for the sake of uniqueness. And then it occurred to me: can I have a separate database table that does nothing but prevent double form-submissions in ColdFusion?https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4280-a-relational-database-table-to-prevent-double-form-submissions-in-coldfusion.htm 6/10/22 Blog - Ortus Solutions - Ortus Content Digest for week of June 10thWhat has Ortus been publishing this week?

I often hear many of these points in discussions, but I wonder how many people know and consider them, so I wanted to share my pros and cons.This presentation will help convince you that libraries are not EVIL like so many haters believe. Choosing the right libraries will make you more productive and efficient, not lazy. We'll look at how to identify solid use-cases for using a 3rd party library in your application. It gives you a checklist of questions to help you identify the red flags of unsafe, unreliable, poorly supported, or ill-suited libraries.We'll look at some CF Landscape exampleshttps://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/events/286262739/ Ortus Webinar - June - Getting started with the Legacy Migration with Dan CardJune 24th 2022: Time 11:00 AM Central Time ( US and Canada )We will look at the process of converting legacy .cfm based sites into a more modern coding design which has less overall code, is easier to maintain and manage, mistakes and errors can more readily and speedily identified and fixed, and is easier to read.Registration Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAvceqsqj4vGd2jojyCgn7cUnytPpBeWvV5 View all Webinars: https://www.ortussolutions.com/events/webinars June 2022 Seattle ColdFusion User Group MeetingWe are restarting our Seattle ColdFusion User Group meetings and are looking forward to meeting online with all of you.This month's meeting includes a presentation by Leon O'Daniel on sending SMS messages using ColdFusion and the Twilio API.https://www.meetup.com/Seattle-ColdFusion-User-Group/events/285974950/ Adobe WorkshopsJoin the Adobe ColdFusion Workshop to learn how you and your agency can leverage ColdFusion to create amazing web content.

Much of the time, if an email is lost here-and-there, it's not the end of the world. For example, a "Forgot My Password" email can always be sent a second time. In critical ColdFusion workflows, however, when losing an email is unacceptable, I track the processing of pending emails in the database; and, I make sure to set the async (Lucee CFML) / spoolEnable (Adobe ColdFusion) attribute on the CFMail tag to false.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4278-disabling-async-attribute-on-cfmail-for-at-least-once-delivery-in-lucee-cfml.htm 6/7/22 - Peter Amiri - CFWheels - Two New Repositories PublishedWe have published two new repositories named cfwheels/cfwheels-www and cfwheels/cfwheels-api which handle the CFWheels.org landing page site and the api.cfwheels.org API documentation site respectively.https://cfwheels.org/blog/two-new-repositories-published/ 6/6/22 - Peter Amiri - CFWheels - CFWheels DotEnvSettings Plugin publishedA new plugin was published to provide support for .env settings files in a production environment. This plugin is based on Eric Peterson's CommandBox module and allows the use of .env or similarly named files to store your application secrets so they can be kept out of source control.https://cfwheels.org/blog/cfwheels-dotenvsettings-plugin-published/ 6/6/22 - Wil De Bruin - ImageNew bug in LuceeSeveral months ago Eric Peterson published the totp module, a cfml implementation of Time-based One-time Password. I  decided to give the totp module a try. I immediately discovered a bug in the module: the bar codes where not generated correctly. I contacted the author on Slack, and we soon discovered, this was only a problem on Lucee, and apparently it was caused by the ImageNew() function. As I am developing API's most of the time, I never used this function before, and I guess it is not used by many other people.https://shiftinsert.nl/imagenew-bug-in-lucee/ 6/5/22 - Ben Nadel - Adding New Regular Expression Parsing To My JRegEx Project For ColdFusionAs part of the recent Regular Expression Day celebrations, I was working on some fun and exciting ways to parse strings and lists using RegEx patterns in ColdFusion. As a quick follow-up to those joyous outbursts, I've gone and added those new methods to my JRegEx ColdFusion component. In fact, I've added a new JRegExList.cfc component to this project for list-specific parsing - I didn't want to mix the two genres together.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4277-adding-new-regular-expression-parsing-to-my-jregex-project-for-coldfusion.htm 6/3/22 - Mark Takata - Adobe - CLI Installation of ColdFusion for lower memory useOne of the key feature updates of CF2021 was the addition of modularity to the server. No longer were you limited to just installing the “whole kit and caboodle”, now you could pick and choose your connectors and packages, allowing you a leaner installation. You could, of course, use the GUI installer to get everything in place, then remove the things you didn't need. But the other way to get things in place is to use the Command Line Interface(CLI) to install ColdFusion, and then use the new Package Manager Command Line Interface (PMCLI) to install the packages you need, scan your code to see what packages you need, download packages locally, and much more!https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2022/06/cli-installation-of-coldfusion-for-lower-memory-use/ 6/3/22 - Ortus Solutions - Ortus Content Digest for week of June 3rdWhat has Ortus been publishing this week?

Lists are the unsung heroes of the CFML language; and, are usually delimited by a single character (or set of single characters). But, the beauty of a list is that it's just a String; and, you can make a list out of anything using any delimiter. And, sometimes, I'd like that delimiter to be something more flexible, more dynamic. To start exploring this concept, I'm going to create jreListFirst() and jreListRest() functions.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4275-parsing-lists-using-a-regex-delimiter-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-8-201.htm 6/1/22 - Ben Nadel - The 15th Annual Regular Expression Day - June 1st 2022Happy Regular Expression Day! This is your annual reminder to learn you some Regular Expressions for great good! Pattern matching is a skill that comes with a massive return on investment (ROI). It is no exaggeration that I use ColdFusion and JavaScript Regular Expression (RegEx) functions every single day. Literally! Once you understand how patterns work, you see them everywhere! They are a game changer!https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4274-the-15th-annual-regular-expression-day-june-1st-2022.htm 6/1/22 - Gavin Pickin - Ortus - How to Make Windows Folders Case SensitiveIn the last blog post in this series, we discussed Case Sensitivity on Windows, what is it, why does it matter, and how it could mess up your developer day in ways you never thought of.

It gives you a checklist of questions to help you identify the red flags of unsafe, unreliable, poorly supported, or ill-suited libraries.We'll even look at some examples in the CFML Landscape.https://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/events/286262739/ ICYMI - Ortus Webinar - May - Clearing the Fuzzies on Fuzzy Search with Michael BornMay 27th 2022: Time 11:00 AM Central Time ( US and Canada )Take a walk through the world of search in this webinar which will show why your database search is not smart enough, explain the basics of how fuzzy search works, and show how to use CBElasticsearch to bring the power of fuzzy searching to your CF application.https://cfcasts.com/series/ortus-webinars-2022/videos/michael-born-clearing-the-fuzzies-on-fuzzy-search View all Webinars: https://www.ortussolutions.com/events/webinars Ortus Webinar - June - Getting started with the Legacy Migration with Dan CardJune 24th 2022: Time 11:00 AM Central Time ( US and Canada )We will look at the process of converting legacy .cfm based sites into a more modern coding design which has less overall code, is easier to maintain and manage, mistakes and errors can more readily and speedily identified and fixed, and is easier to read.Registration Link: Coming SoonView all Webinars: https://www.ortussolutions.com/events/webinars June 2022 Seattle ColdFusion User Group MeetingWe are restarting our Seattle ColdFusion User Group meetings and are looking forward to meeting online with all of you.This month's meeting includes a presentation by Leon O'Daniel on sending SMS messages using ColdFusion and the Twilio API.https://www.meetup.com/Seattle-ColdFusion-User-Group/events/285974950/ Adobe WorkshopsJoin the Adobe ColdFusion Workshop to learn how you and your agency can leverage ColdFusion to create amazing web content.

I had never heard of Liquid Tags before. Apparently, it's a syntax that some platforms use to enable dynamic content. One subset of this syntax allows users to embed external content within their own content. This piqued my curiosity since something like this might give me a way to allow readers of this blog to embed fun things within the comments. As such, I wanted to experiment with parsing and processing Liquid Tags in Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4272-parsing-liquid-tag-embeds-with-jsoup-and-lucee-cfml-5-3-8-201.htm 5/25/22 Blog - Adam Cameron - A super-quick Observer Pattern implementation in CFML, and I skip TDD. Or do I?There's a possible "Betteridge's law of headlines" situation there. I'm not actually sure yet.A few days back I was chatting to someone about application-scope-usage, and how to trigger an event when any changes to the application scope took place. I mentioned that the application scope should never be accessed directly in one's application code, and it should be wrapped up in an adapter. And it's easy for one's adapter to trigger events if needs must. An implementation of the Observer Pattern would do the trick here.Then it occurred to me that I have never actually implemented the Observer Pattern, and I thought I might give it a go.https://blog.adamcameron.me/2022/05/a-super-quick-observer-pattern.html 5/30/22 Blog - Adam Cameron - CFML: Implementing an ObservableScopeAdapter using the Adapter Pattern, Decorator Pattern and Observer PatternIn my last article (A super-quick Observer Pattern implementation in CFML, and I skip TDD.

And, now that I'm done (crushing it), I need a little breather. As a fun code kata, I thought I might play around with calculating array interactions, unions, and differences in Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201. This isn't something that comes up often in my day-to-day work. But, it's yet another opportunity to showcase the unyielding power of the Struct as Index pattern in ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4271-code-kata-array-intersection-union-and-difference-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-8-201.htm 5/28/22 Blog - Tony Junkes - PDF to Images With PDFBox and CFMLRecently, I worked on part of a feature for viewing a PDF, page by page, in the browser.

Myself, Nolan and Dave F + the CF engineering team, Elishia and Kishore all spent a week together building the new one and it is HARD. I highly recommend it as a test of your skills, I guarantee everyone will learn something new.... Yes, but there's also over 100 hours of video to go over before the 1 day lecture + cert. So you watch videos, sit in class, then take the exam there. It is no joke, definitely challenging, but super satisfying to pass.Plus you get access to those videos for a year, which is nice for going back and reviewing things down the line.- So this is not the same certification as the specialist, the professional seems like a big step up.VueJS Forge June 29-30thOrganized by Vue School_The largest hands-on Vue.js EventTeam up with 1000s of fellow Vue.js devs from around the globe to build a real-world application in just 2 days in this FREE hackathon-style event.Make connections.

I tend use a lot of SVG images when generating PDFs using WKHTMLTOPDF with ColdFusion 2016-2021 and Lucee. I thought I'd try writing a cross-compatible UDF to parse this information. I've added support for desc, title and id metadata. The dimensions will be pulled from svg.viewBox (if exists) rather than width and height tags as I noticed that these dimensions seemed to be used more often with some generators. (NOTE: While the "S" in SVG means that images "scaleable", the dimensions are still extremely beneficial when embedding so you can explicitly code the dimensions using the correct aspect ratio.)https://dev.to/gamesover/parsing-widthheight-from-svg-file-using-coldfusion-ljo 5/21/22 - Tweet - James Moberg - isValid doesnt support IPv4 but 20 year old UDF doesI'm validating an IPv4 value & just realized that #ColdFusion isValid() doesn't support it. (I know type="regex" can be passed, but I'm just surprised that it's 2022 and it's not already built-in.)NOTE: This #cfml UDF from ~20 years ago supports IPv4.https://cflib.org/udf/CheckPattern https://twitter.com/gamesover/status/1527782375580647430 https://twitter.com/gamesover 5/20/22 - Podcast - CFAlive - Are your Database Relationships in a Rut? with Dave Ferguson Dave Ferguson talks about "Are your Database Relationships in a Rut?" in this episode of the CF Alive Podcast, with host Michaela Light.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgklYsTkuk0 5/18/22 - Blog - Gavin Pickin - Why should I use 3rd party libraries vs Roll my own?There is always a trade-off between using a 3rd party library and rolling your version in software development. I often hear many of these points in discussions, but I wonder how many people know and consider them, so I wanted to share my pros and cons.TLDRThis article will help convince you that libraries are not EVIL like so many haters believe. Choosing the right libraries make you more productive and efficient, not lazy. This article identifies solid use-cases for using a 3rd party library in your application. It gives you a checklist of questions to help you identify the red flags of unsafe, unreliable, poorly supported, or ill-suited libraries.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/software-craftsmanship-why-should-i-use-3rd-party-libraries-vs-roll-my-own/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=podcast 5/14/22 - Podcast - Wicked Good Development - Developer and Open Source Contributor Stories at Dev Nexus - Part 3 - Luis Majano his episode is three fold as we finish up the roundtable discussion on Devnexus 2022 and we get a chance to interview two more developers who contribute to the open source community. We connect with Luis Majano, CEO of Ortus Solutions and long-time computer engineer, about putting in the open source work. From using a 70/30 ratio to dedicate time building open source in between client work to getting the next generation involved in maintaining minor code fixes first-hand, hear how the level of work put in makes the difference in professional open source. https://open.spotify.com/episode/5WivNKfSCekMycmig4WiVk?si=tidx5sOwQT67g4L0-99OtQ Ben Nadel Corner5/18/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Code Kata: Getting Initials For A Name In Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201At work, we have many user interfaces (UI) that use initials instead of full names, such as the "face pile" widget. The current technique for extracting initials from names is rather simplistic: we grab the set of tokens defined by the RegEx pattern, S+, and then pluck out the leading character of each match. As a code kata, I wanted to see if I could author a slightly more clever user defined function (UDF) that could take a name and return initials in Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4265-code-kata-getting-initials-for-a-name-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-8-201.htm 5/19/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - SQL "Join Tables" Are Just "Entity Tables" With Hard-To-Name ConceptsOver the past few months, I've been incrementally modernizing the public-facing portion of this ColdFusion blog. And, all in all, it's been going quite smoothly! But, when I started to work on modernizing the administrative portion of the blog, things got a little hairy. Not only is the administrative code even older and jankier than the public code, it requires CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on "join tables" in the MySQL database. And, up until now, I haven't had to think about modeling these join tables in a data access layer (DAL)https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4267-sql-join-tables-are-just-entity-tables-with-hard-to-name-concepts.htm 5/20/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Parsing Nullish Date "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z" In Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201At work, one of the APIs that I consume returns data for a Date column that didn't always exist. And, instead of returning a null or an empty string for rows in which the value in the database is NULL, they return what I assume is a null-coalesced date: 0001-01-01T00:00:00Z. I didn't realize that this was happening until I started to see dates in my system showing up as 2001 - which is many years before the API in question even existed. It turns out, passing a date/time mask into the parseDateTime() function is kind of important in Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4268-parsing-nullish-date-0001-01-01t00-00-00z-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-8-201.htm 5/21/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Dynamically Enabling / Disabling Session Management In Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201Currently, my blog is composed of two completely separate ColdFusion applications: one for the public facing functionality (you) and one for the content publisher (me). The public facing ColdFusion application has no session management. But the internal facing ColdFusion application has sessions and login-based authentication. As I've been refactoring this platform, I briefly considered combining the two ColdFusion applications and just dynamically enabling sessions for my user. I dismissed this approach as unnecessarily complicated; but, the fact that it's even possible is a fascinating aspect of ColdFusion. As such, I thought that I might quickly demonstrate that you can dynamically enable and disable session management in Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4269-dynamically-enabling-disabling-session-management-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-8-201.htm Adam Cameron Corner 5/17/22 - Blog - Adam Cameron - Why I'm doing this TinyTestFramework exerciseI have listened to both Modernize or Die® and Working Code Podcast (the specific episode of the latter is not public yet: I get it early as I'm a patreon… which you should be too: Patreon: Working Code is creating podcasts) this evening, and I appreciate them both mentioning my series on TinyTestFramework, but they both kinda got my motivations for doing it wrong.I'm not doing it for these reasons. I mean… I am doing it, yes, obviously. But these are not my motivations:To work out how to write a testing framework. This is not really that interesting to me. How to do it within a single expression (the whole thing is one struct literal)? Yes, interested in that. Def.Because I think TestBox is doing anything wrong. It could not be further from the truth: I think TestBox is one of the best CFML projects out there. I am using it as inspiration, as I want code written in TinyTestFramework to be lift-and-shift-able into TestBox.https://blog.adamcameron.me/2022/05/why-im-doing-this-tinytestframework.html 5/18/22 - Blog - Adam Cameron - CFML: Filler article with code but no TDD at allI'm still working on the TinyTestFramework though: some things don't change.My test file for this work, which is the framework and all its tests in one is getting a bit weighty: >1200 LOC, and I'm finding it difficult to navigate about the place. Especially as I'm using trycf.com as my dev environment :-).Using the technique I recently documented to execute code on trycf.com remotely ("Running CFML code on trycf.com via a remote HTTP request"), I've split-out the framework and the tests into different gists, and wrote a wee calling-harness to run them all… and for completeness on both ColdFusion 2021 and Lucee 5.https://blog.adamcameron.me/2022/05/cfml-filler-article-with-code-but-no.html CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 89 ColdFusion positions from 50 companies across 45 locations in 5 Countries.4 new jobs listedFull-Time - Senior Software Engineer - Coldfusion/C# at Plano, TX - United States Posted May 24https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Senior-Software-engineer-coldfusion/11475 Full-Time - Software Engineer-ColdFusion at Reno, NV - United States Posted May 18https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Software-EngineerColdFusion-at-Reno-NV/11471 Full-Time - Software Engineer-ColdFusion at Bloomington, MN - United States Posted May 18https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Software-EngineerColdFusion-at-Bloomington-MN/11472 Full-Time - Software Engineer-ColdFusion at Roseville, CA - United States Posted May 18https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Software-EngineerColdFusion-at-Roseville-CA/11476 PATREON SPONSORED JOB POSTING!Hagerty - MotorSportRegSenior Software Engineer, MotorsportWe are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to work primarily with Node/Vue.js, ColdFusion, and AWS to improve our platform and build greenfield experiences.We are a 25-person team supporting 1,600 organizations with our SaaS CRM, commerce and event management platform.

And then there's a war going on 2 countries down the road, which adds at least some economic uncertainties and concerns about sanctions, people willing to travel and spend money on events etc. Then there is all of the general annoyances around international travel - the organizers are being very careful and "wanting to do everything to avoid international travel for anyone when running an event" side of things when it comes to Covid.So, a lot of energy would have to be spent on making the event safe enough from our own point of view… so best to wait until hopefully Summer 2023More conferencesNeed more conferences, this site has a huge list of conferences for almost any language/community.https://confs.tech/Blogs, Tweets, and Videos of the Week 5/17/22 - Blog - Into the Box - Announcing Speakers for Into the Box 2022 - Round 1We are excited to announce the first set of speakers and sessions.

Whenever I have an issue with some CFML that needs to be demonstrated to someone else; eg: I'm asking for help on Slack or Stack Overflow, or demonstrating an answer to someone else's question: I create a portable / repeatable repro case on trycf.com. I use it to demonstrate bugs and behavioural differences to Adobe or Lucee when both vendors don't give the same result from the same code. I use it every day.I believe trycf.com is the handiest resource available to CFML developers.https://blog.adamcameron.me/2022/05/if-yer-cfml-dev-you-should-consider.html 5/16/22 - Blog - Peter Amiri - CFWheels - CFWheels Announces a Bug BountyWe are happy to launch a new program that we hope will lead to a more stable framework for all of us.

I recently needed to alert a Slack channel whenever an application was deployed, and found that using Eric Peterson's module Hyper along with Slack's Incoming Webhooks did the trick nicely.I'll share how to do this with a FW/1 application - just know that with ColdBox it would be even easier, and the general approach could even be modified to work without a framework.https://blog.mattclemente.com/2022/05/12/cfml-slack-incoming-webhook-hyper/ 5/12/22 - Blog - Gavin Pickin - Ortus Solutions - Tips, Tricks and Tools to write DRYer more Reusable Code in ColdFusionIn the last blog post, we learned many reasons why we wanted DRYer more reusable code in ColdFusion.

Another exercise in TDDI have to admit I'm not sure where I'm going with this one yet. I dunno how to implement what I'm needing to do, but I'm gonna start with a test and see where I go from there.Context: I've been messing around with this TinyTestFramework thing for a bit… it's intended to be a test framework one can run in trycf.com, so I need to squeeze it all into one include file, and at the same time make it not seem too rubbish in the coding dept. The current state of affairs is here: tinyTestFramework.cfm, and its tests: testTinyTestFramework.cfm. Runnable here: on trycf.comhttps://blog.adamcameron.me/2022/05/cfml-adding-beforeeach-handlers-to-my.html 5/12/22 - Blog - Adam Cameron - CFML: for the sake of completeness, here's the afterEach treatmentThis immediately follows on from "CFML: Adding beforeEach handlers to my TinyTestFramework. Another exercise in TDD".Having done the beforeEach implementation for my TinyTestFramework, I reckoned afterEach would be super easy: barely an inconvenience. And indeed it was. Took me about 15min, given most of the logic is the same as for beforeEach.https://blog.adamcameron.me/2022/05/cfml-for-sake-of-completeness-heres.html 5/13/22 - Blog - Adam Cameron - CFML: adding aroundEach to TinyTestFramework was way easier than I expectedI'm still pottering around with my TinyTestFramework. Last night I added beforeEach and afterEach handlers, but then thought about how the hell I could easily implement aroundEach support, and I could only see about 50% of it, so I decided to sleep on it.After a night's sleep I spent about 30min before work doing a quick spike (read: no tests, just "will this even work?"), and surprisingly it did work. First time. Well except for a coupla typos, but I nailed the logic first time. I'm sorta halfway chuffed by this, sorta halfway worried that even though what I decided would probably work - and it did - I haven't quite got my head around how it works, or even quite what it's doing. So let's blog about that.https://blog.adamcameron.me/2022/05/cfml-adding-aroundeach-to.html 5/15/22 - Blog - Adam Cameron - CFML: fixing a coupla bugs in my recent work on TinyTestFrameworkLast week I did some more work on my TinyTestFramework:CFML: for the sake of completeness, here's the afterEach treatmentCFML: adding aroundEach to TinyTestFramework was way easier than I expectedOn Saturday, I found a bug in each of those.

We found some issues due to a last minute change, we rolled out a 5.5.1 patch yesterday, that seems to solve that initial issue.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/commandbox-551-released/ICYMI - CommandBox Docker v3.5.0 Images ReleasedToday we are pleased to announce the release of version 3.5.0 of our CommandBox Docker images, which contains significant upgrades to the underlying CommandBox engine.Most significantly, this release upgrades the CommandBox binary to 5.5.1, which uses Lucee 5.3.9 as the underlying CFML engine. In addition, this release changes the underlying base image over to use the eclipse-temurin image builds, as the adoptopenjdk builds are being sunsetted. With this change, the underlying Debian version changes to use Ubuntu 20.0.0 (focal). As such, some custom installs in Dockerfiles may need updates to available packages from this distro.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/commandbox-docker-v350-images-released ColdFusion 2021 and 2018 May Security UpdatesWe are pleased to announce that we have released the updates for the following ColdFusion versions: ColdFusion (2021 release) Update 4 ColdFusion (2018 release) Update 14 Note: The ColdFusion Add-Ons and lockdown installers are also refreshed.

This is a massive upgrade under the hood, but it shouldn't require any API changes if you are using just Elixir methods.

Now, it could be argued that any programming language that costs more than $0 is “expensive”, as generally languages are free to use.But, of course, Adobe ColdFusion isn't “just” a language. It is an entire ecosystem of functionality, including an incredibly useful administrator, performance monitoring toolkit and (if you use Enterprise), the API Manager.Many folks have covered the fantastic features of the API Manager, but what is talked about less is what someone might use instead of API Manager. I'm going to look at a few common 3rd party tools and compare the costs.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2022/05/comparing-adobe-coldfusion-enterprise-api-manager-to-3rd-party-options/5/5/22 Blog - James Moberg - Identifying Random Uploaded Form FilesThe benefit to this approach is that it returns a single struct containing keys that match all form "file" field names with extra information identifying the original filename, type, size and temporary file path.

This issue appears to only affect Windows.

Greg is the founder and CEO at Octopus Energy After a short sojourn in the video game industry when he finished his GCSE’s Greg returned to university to do a degree in Economics. He landed his first professional role in the marketing department at Proctor & Gamble. When Greg started at P&G the concept of technology and marketing being closely entwined was very alien. But with the advent of the consumer-facing internet that all changed and the two disciplines began gelling together. Greg seized on the developing digital marketing industry by creating a product we’d now identify as a cloud-based Saas CRM. He was one of the first individuals in the world to produce a type of technology like this. The product was reasonably successful and let Greg sold it for a tidy profit. Selling this product gave Greg enough capital to build a big business in an area that really matters. Not long after he founded Octopus Energy. He started Octopus Energy because he is passionate about bringing fairer practices and better value to the people of Britain.

We’ve all heard the term tree huggers. If you were around during the early days of server virtualization, you may remember the phenomenon of server huggers. These were the people who were adamant that their systems and applications were too important to move to virtual servers, clinging to their physical servers for dear life. The latest “hugger” variant is the data hugger - those folks that don’t want to share their data with other departments or data science groups to fill the so-called data lake to support data science and analytics. In this episode of Pivotal Insights, host Jeff Kelly talks with Dormain Drewitz, head of product marketing for Pivotal’s data business, contemplating the data hugger mindset and propose some strategies for changing hearts and minds when it comes to sharing data. The two also chat about Dreamforce - the massive Salesforce customer conference that descended on San Francisco last week - and Salesforce’s move to embed artificial intelligence into its eponymous SaaS CRM application and the wider implications for the blending of insights with applications.
