Creating — and maintaining — HTML-based emails is not fun. It does not "spark joy". Part of this is because there are a large number of email clients that all have different quirks. And, part of this is because our setup uses Handlebars Templating and Node.js modules to "compile" the emails. Why am I using handlebars and node when I'm sitting on top of one of the most powerful web application runtimes available: Lucee CFML? I would love to be writing my HTML-based emails the way that I write all of my HTML-based views: using CFML. As such, I wanted to start playing around with the use of ColdFusion custom tags as means to create a Domain Specific Language (DSL) that could put the joy back into email creation in Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3975-using-coldfusion-custom-tags-to-create-an-html-email-dsl-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-7-47.htm Live stream - Matthew Clemente - Adding a CFML Language Definition to Prism.js (Learning by Trial and Error) [Part 3]Well, I'm diving back in after a long break from this project. I'll be working on  a CFML language definition for Prism.js. I want to get this project to the point where I can at least articulate its shortcomings and be able to ask for help addressing them. Gonna be a lot of trial and error in this one. Here's the repository I'm working on: https://github.com/mjclemente/prismhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atNnt12CSX4afeature=youtu.be Blog - Pete Freitag - Using Hashicorp Vault with ColdFusionHashicorp Vault is an open source, enterprise grade security vault. It is designed to grant secure access to the secrets that it stores. It can also act as an encryption as a service API. Vault is very powerful, and there are lots of resources and videos describing how it works.Using Vault is something that I often cover in my ColdFusion security training course, however I'd like to give an example of how you can use vault in your ColdFusion or CFML / Lucee applications.https://www.petefreitag.com/item/914.cfm Podcast - Working Code Podcast - Episode 007: Origin Stories, Part IAll super heroes have an origin story. And, so do nerds. Many of us can remember back to that moment when we realized that there was magic in the world - magic that we could be part of - magic that we could help create. This week, we get personal with the crew and learn more about where they came from, what kind of stuff makes them tick, and what it is that they love about being web application developers.This Part I of a two-part series. Part I includes Tim and Ben. Part II will include Carol and Adam.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3974-working-code-podcast-episode-007-origin-stories-part-i.htm Blog - Brad Wood - A quick comparison of using Python and CFML to write the same CLI toolA few days ago, Joseph Lamoree posted about a cool little command line tool he wrote in Python that would scan a list of servers check check for a public facing administrator.  https://github.com/ecivis/scan-cfml-admin http://wwvv.codersrevolution.com/blog/a-quick-comparison-of-using-python-and-cfml-to-write-the-same-cli-tool Guide - Postgres Official - Don’t do this guidehttps://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Don%27t_Do_This CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 28 ColdFusion positions from 15 companies across 23 locations in 5 Countries since Dec 1st.3 new jobs this weekFull-Time - Sr. Developer (ColdFusion Experience) at Slidell, LA - United States Posted Feb 02https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Sr-Developer-ColdFusion-Experience-at-Slidell-LA/11175 Full-Time - ColdFusion Architect (GAP Solutions) at Rockville, MD - United States Posted Jan 28https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/ColdFusion-Architect-at-Rockville-MD/11173 Full-Time - ColdFusion Architect at Rockville, MD - United States Posted Jan 28https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/ColdFusion-Architect-at-Rockville-MD/11174 ForgeBox Module of the WeeklibPhoneNumber Module by Sean DanielsA ColdBox module wrapper for Google's libPhoneNumber parse, format and validation library.https://www.forgebox.io/view/libphonenumber VS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the WeekGit Graph by mhutchie Git Graph extension for Visual Studio CodeView a Git Graph of your repository, and easily perform Git actions from the graph.
