Unfortunately, the ColdFusion Bloggers platform is no longer active at this time due to the unfortunate demise of Wil Genovese, who maintained Cfbloggers after Raymond Camden provided Wil with the keys.https://gregoryalexander.com/blog/2021/2/13/CfBlog-Feeds--A-New-ColdFusion-Blog-Aggregator Ortus Webinar - Take Control of Logging and Error handling with Stachebox with Jon ClausenFriday, February 26th - 11:00 AM CDT (GMT -6:00)Tracking, handling, and resolving bugs between different tiers can be challenging, especially in containerized or cloud environments.

It is Rick Mason’s user group and details will follow. I am going to put a special emphasis on Traefik if anyone is interested. I am a user now, not an expert but find it a better experience than Apache, HAProxxy, IIS or Nginx so far. Your experience may vary. https://community.ortussolutions.com/t/docker-cfug-meeting/8755?u=john_farrar CFUG Website: http://www.mmcfug.org/ Teams Link: https://bit.ly/3didqEQ Adobe Webinar - SQL, I know enough to break everything - Dave FergusonFebruary 24th 2021 @ 8 AM PTIf you are reading this you have probably written SQL in one form or another.  I would also bet that you have written SQL that looked great but didn't act great.  Looking back at it was more like a little puppy that tilts its head at strange sounds.  We all have, even the "experts" among, us have written SQL that had intentional consequences.  On the other hand, maybe you support a system that has SQL that you just don't quite understand.  If some of this is true, this session is for you. This session will take a look at why SQL may not run the way it was intended.  We will look well beyond just the select statement and look deeper into how SQL runs.  We will go over what the DBA's keep to themselves as well as other metrics.  We will also look at some well-intended SQL and why the results were less than ideal.  https://cfwebinar-sql.meetus.adobeevents.com/ New Book from Luis Majano in the next week or so - 102 ColdBox HMVC Quick Tips and TricksReminder about the new Ortus CommunityOrtus has rolled out our new Ortus Community site to help consolidate all of our community support and interaction.  As part of that effort, all our Google Group threads have been imported to the new Ortus Community and effective immediately, our Google Groups are closed for further posting.If you're a member of our Google groups, don't worry-- your user has already been imported into the community forum and as soon as you sign up, you will be automatically associated with all of your old posts so you can pick up your conversations right where you left off!  We've even added single sign on options for Github, Facebook, Google, and Twitter (coming soon).  If your new account is under a different E-mail address, let us know and we can merge your accounts together.https://community.ortussolutions.com/ CFCasts Content UpdatesJust Released - CommandBox Zero to Hero    - Running Commands    - Shell Features, REPL and CFML Commands    - Special CommandsComing up - More CommandBox Hero to ZeroConferences and TrainingDevnexusJoin the VIRTUAL <dev/>olutionFeb 17 2021 - Onlinehttps://devnexus.com/RedisConf 2021Virtual: Apr 20-21Call for speakers ended Feb 14 - https://sessionize.com/redisconf2021/ https://redislabs.com/redisconf/DockerConMay 27th 2021https://www.docker.com/dockercon/ Ortus Workshops - Dates coming soonQuick WorkshopMarch 11-12Lead by the creator of Quick himself, Eric Peterson.Information: https://www.ortussolutions.com/events Register now https://www.eventbrite.com/e/up-and-running-with-quick-tickets-124157021995 More dates to come - CommandBox Zero to Hero - ColdBox Zero to Hero - ColdBox Hero to SuperHeroOrtus’s Possible Conferences for 2021Dates subject to changeDue to Online conference overload, we are thinking about not expanding the number of events, but more content in more timezones with a different format.ITB - Developer Week StyleWith some European Timezone Friendly slots from our European Community MembersSeptember 2021Call for speakers coming soonITB LatamDecember 2021More conferencesNeed more conferences, this site has a huge list of conferences for almost any language/community.https://confs.tech/CFML Is now on the list - https://confs.tech/conferences/new Blogs, Tweets and Videos of the WeekBlog - Ben Nadel - Using ColdFusion Custom Tags To Create An HTML Email DSL In Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47, Part IILast week, I shared a proof-of-concept (POC) that I had been working in which I used ColdFusion Custom Tags as a DSL for HTML emails.
