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 CDTSessions 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 weekNew 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, insta...
