Gavin uses the site for JavaScript often and it would be awesome if CFML was available too.There is an API so we could tap into this and build some cool CFML tools related to this, as well as have another great training tool for new and experienced CFML Developers.After a lot of tweets, retweets, and a blog post, lots of thumbs up, Codewars now has CFML as well.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2020/01/help-us-get-cfml-coldfusion-added-codewars-website/https://www.codewars.comGavin’s Live Coding ChallengeSo Gavin likes this live streaming thing, so he started a daily challenge for himself, to do a daily kata on CodeWars, and stream it live. So follow him on Twitter for the live stream notifications, or watch after the fact on his YouTube. The first few were Javascript, but since CFML has been accepted now, he will mix it up and do some javascript and some CFML.https://twitter.com/gpickinhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC55cdDHnLI4HkSgoTxWJ-KA/ConferencesAdobe CF Summit East 2020Date: Wednesday, April 22, 2020Time: 8:00am - 4:00pm *Time subject to change.Location: Renaissance Washington, DC Downtown Hotel999 Ninth Street NWWashington, DC 20001Cost: ComplimentarySave the date to join Adobe and Carahsoft for our interactive Adobe ColdFusion Summit East 2020 to exchange ideas, inspiration, and experiences among fellow designers, developers, strategists, and thought leaders alike.Adobe ColdFusion delivers a single platform to rapidly develop, deploy, and manage scalable, high-performing web and mobile enterprise applications — enabling agencies across the U.S. to embrace futuristic technologies with ease.Information: https://carahevents.carahsoft.com/CFSummit2020/Custom?name=About%20the%20SummitRegister: https://carahevents.carahsoft.com/Event/Details/138812-webeventAdobe CF Summit East 2020 WorkshopsAdobe - ColdFusion Specialist Certification POST ConferenceDate: Thursday, April 23, 2020Time: 8:00am - 5:00pm*Time subject to change.Location: Renaissance Washington, DC Downtown Hotel                 999 Ninth Street NW                 Washington, DC 20001Cost: $499.00 USD *early bird discount          $699.00 USD *after February 29, 2020Description: The Adobe ColdFusion Specialist Program is a full-day certificate classroom program, delivered by top Adobe ColdFusion experts.
