People use them as a speed contest, interview prep, company training, university coursework, practice problems, or to challenge each other.You don't need a computer science background to participate - just a little programming knowledge and some problem solving skills will get you pretty far. Nor do you need a fancy computer; every problem has a solution that completes in at most 15 seconds on ten-year-old hardware.https://adventofcode.com/2020 Coldfusion Online Meetup - "How to build Progressive Web Apps", with John WargoThursday Dec 3 at 12pm US Eastern Time, UTC-5Progressive Web Apps leverage modern browser capabilities to deliver additional capabilities for developers and app users. These web apps deliver capabilities that make a web app 'feel' more like traditional and mobile apps, providing offline capabilities (like the ability to run when offline or to perform background synchronization), receive push notifications, and installation on the system. In this session, John M. Wargo, the author of Pearson's Learning Progressive Web Apps (https://learningpwa.com) will introduce you to PWAs and show you how to build them.https://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/events/274867028/ RESCHEDULED - Seattle CFUG - Hands-on deep-dive into interacting with the Thinkific API.Wednesday, December 9th, 20206:00 PM to 7:30 PM PSTRESCHEDULED FROM Wednesday, November 11, 2020Hosted by - William Frankhouser and Leon O'DanielThis meeting features an hands-on deep-dive into interacting with the Thinkific API.Thinkific is one of the top platforms for online course delivery.

To install just use CommandBox: install testbox --saveDev or to update your TestBox installation update testbox.This release includes two important security updates just in case you have deployed TestBox or your tests to production (TESTBOX-294 and TESTBOX-293). Please note, that you should NEVER deploy TestBox and your tests to production. It is a library for development purposes and it has no purpose in being deployed to production servers.In addition to updating your Testbox installation, you need to update any test browser files that may be in your tests folder. The current version of the Testbox test browser can be found here: https://github.com/Ortus-Solutions/TestBox/blob/development/test-browser/index.cfm You can avoid installing testbox in production by using the install --production CommandBox command.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/testbox-v42-released Help us get CFML listed on Sentry.ioGiancarlo Gomez started a thread on Sentry.io to get CFML on the Create Project view.
