How have the versions changed, in ways that some older code may not run on CF2021? And if you're skipping some CF version/s, what might have tripped you up in those, though not really "new" in CF2021 itself? And what can you do to mitigate such challenges?In this session, CF troubleshooter Charlie Arehart will share from his experience helping folks make such migrations the past year (and for years with previous CF versions), whether in his role as an independent consultant or providing assistance to the CF community. He'll cover things you can consider in advance of the migration as well as things that might help during or after the migration. Most importantly, this talk will focus on the differences between CF2021 and various earlier CF versions. (Note that he has previously given a talk on migrating CF admin settings, and he plans a future talk on some other aspects of migration.)https://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/events/281800384/ ICYMI - Online CF Meetup - Using LaunchDarkly for feature flag management in CF applications, w/ Brad WoodThursday, October 28, 2021 at 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM PDTFeature flags are a system of enabling certain functionality in your app based on test groups, cross-cutting segments of users, and your internal release processes. Feature flags can be updated on the fly at any time by any user and don't require deploying new code to your servers. LaunchDarkly is a system that helps you manage your feature flags and how they respond to the users of your site. It offers detailed tracking of each user, each flag, and a robust set of rules for determining which users see which features. In this session, we'll see an overview of how to use the new LaunchDarkly SDK which can be used in ColdFusion applications. Demos will include both ColdBox apps and non-ColdBox legacy apps.https://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/events/281577538/ Recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjboLKvbGDc Ortus Webinar for November - Javier Quintero on ForgeBox BusinessDetails coming soonCBWire is ALIVE!!!Grant Copley is knocking out some great new features and documentation on CBWire, follow him or the #cbwire hashtag to keep up on everything.
