CFML developers have dead-simple access to S3 via built-in functionality. S3 goes way beyond just uploading and downloading files, though. By dropping down into the AWS Java SDK, we can unlock the full potential of S3, and that's exactly what we'll do in this session.Meetup Link: https://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/events/272261010/Blog: https://brianklaas.net/aws/coldfusion/conferences/2020/08/10/Slides-Recording-Cfmeetup-S3-Presentation.htmlSlides: https://brianklaas.net.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/assets/pdf/CFMeetupAug2020-S3.pdfVideo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNcOfG9Vkbgalist=PLG2EHzEbhy0-QirMKgSxhjkUyTSSTvHjLOnline CF Meetup - "Migrating or comparing CF Admin settings", with Charlie ArehartThu, Aug 13 · 11:00 AM CDTHave you ever wished you could easily compare the CF Admin settings between one instance and another?

So why is it now that after 25+ years have passed we are back to building internet connected applications with HTML, CSS and JavaScript and calling them Progressive Web Apps?

I presented at ITB2020 about cbvalidation, and I’ve contributed some code so I thought it had no secrets anymore. But when trying to solve this case I discovered cbvalidation still had some hidden lines for me. When discussing this validation problem we tried to solve it with UDF validators, but -spoiler alert-finally we agreed it was not powerful enough. So time to build a CustomValidator, which is a lot easier than you might think.https://shiftinsert.nl/cbvalidation-udf-or-customvalidator/Blog - Ben Nadel - Mapping Arrays-To-Structs And Structs-To-Arrays Using Mapping Functions In Lucee CFML 5.3.6.61When mapping one data-set onto another data-set in ColdFusion, we can usually use the built-in .map() functions. This works great when the input and the output data-sets are the same type. But, every now and then, I want to map an Array onto a Struct; or, a Struct onto an Array; which isn't something that the current mapping functions cater to. Normally, I implement this type of mapping with a for-loop; but, as a sort of code-kata, I wanted to see what a more "functional" type of solution might look like in Lucee CFML 5.3.6.61.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3874-mapping-arrays-to-structs-and-structs-to-arrays-using-mapping-functions-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-6-61.htm Blog - David Byers - ColdFusion Needs to DieSummary: It’s time for bold action in order to make ColdFusion grow… and it starts by killing the reputation that ColdFusion is anchored with.For 20 years, I’ve listened to ColdFusion nay-sayers who haven’t had faith in the language.  My first CF project in 1999 was met with resistance about using ColdFusion as part of the technology stack.  I’ve endured companies and developers alike tell me that ColdFusion is dying; that ColdFusion developers are too hard to find; that ColdFusion isn’t as modern as other languages.  ColdFusion has a bad reputation, regardless of how the die-hards, myself included, love and are passionate about the product.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2020/08/coldfusion-needs-die/Blog - Steven Neilland - Delete duplicates but keep first recordLast week I posted about getting the most recent entry in each group of records. This week I want to expand on that by showing how you can use the same technique to remove duplicate entries but saving the first entry.Related: SQL SQL Serverhttp://www.neiland.net/blog/article/delete-duplicates-but-keep-first-record/Blog - Fusion Reactor - Cloud live mode – just like traditional on-premise FusionReactorFusionReactor Cloud (the SaaS solution) has a lot of functionality that the traditional on-premise Java agent (On-Prem) has, but has struggled with the perception that its not as ‘real-time’.Both Cloud and On-Prem have live mode for many features; both have the same information and update as quickly.http://www.fusion-reactor.com/blog/technical-blogs/cloud-live-mode/Blog - Ben Nadel - isNumeric() And numberFormat() Can Work With Very Large Numbers In Lucee CFML 5.3.6.61For historical reasons, I'm a bit weary of any kind of numeric value that won't fit into a Signed Integer in ColdFusion. I can't point to specific issues necessarily; but, I know that I've run into errors working with large numbers. That said, yesterday when I was looking at how to implement an in-place natural sort of an alpha-numeric Array in Lucee CFML I discovered that the isNumeric() and numberFormat() functions can work fairly large strings. Though, upon closer examination, the numberFormat() function is a little funny. As such, I wanted to put together a quick demo in Lucee CFML 5.3.6.61.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3873-isnumeric-and-numberformat-can-work-with-very-large-numbers-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-6-61.htmBlog - Ben Nadel - Performing An In-Place Natural Sort On An Alpha-Numeric Array In Lucee CFML 5.3.6.61In the past, I've looked at implementing a "Natural Sort order" in both JavaScipt and ColdFusion. However, my ColdFusion-based approach has always created a new array as part of its algorithm. Most of the time this doesn't matter; however, yesterday at InVision, I ran into a situation in which I needed to conditionally perform either a numeric sort or an in-place natural sort on an Array. As such, I wanted to quickly revisit the idea of a natural sort, this time using an in-place sorting algorithm in Lucee CFML 5.3.6.61.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3872-performing-an-in-place-natural-sort-on-an-alpha-numeric-array-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-6-61.htmBlog - Preside - Release notes for 10.12.0We are proud to announce the release of Preside 10.12.0.
