As some of you might know I am not always happy with commandbox, especially with the way it handles lucee in production environments.Most of the time, we are working on some long term projects, but recently I had to setup something new, just some proof of concept. So I created a project, ran some of these box coldbox create app wizards and became the proud owner of a brand new cfml advancedscript template setup. https://shiftinsert.nl/a-new-coldbox-app-with-commandbox-a-walk-in-the-park/ Relevant Docs: https://coldbox.ortusbooks.com/for-newbies/60-minute-quick-start Blog - Charle Arehart - CF DevWeek 2021 agenda now postedWhile we’ve heard for several weeks about the coming Adobe ColdFusion Developer Week event (June 22-24) since it’s announcement here and elsewhere, some great news is that the agenda has now been posted. (The topics have also been trickled out via the Adobe CF twitter account.)You can find all the session topics and their times at the registration site. When you click the “Agenda” menu option, you’ll find the 3 days of sessions, in two tracks with about 3-4 sessions per track each day, for a total of 20 sessions.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2021/06/cf-devweek-2021-agenda-now-posted/ Blog - Wil De Bruin - Module dependencies in interceptorsInterceptors in coldbox are very powerful. They are components which listen to events which are announced by the core framework or modules or custom events created by your application. But this post is not about all details of creating interceptors, you can read all about it in the coldbox documentation. I am using them all the time since they are so powerful, but sometimes they don’t behave as expected, especially when your interceptor depends on other modules.https://shiftinsert.nl/module-dependencies-in-interceptors/ Blog - Ben Nadel - Managing Lists Of IDs Using HTML FORM Posts In Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47At InVision, I'm in the middle of building a custom feature for one of our clients. This feature lives outside of any SPA (Single-Page Application); and, uses "old school" form submission techniques to process the interactions. The techniques that I'm using are the same ones that I learned 2 decades ago. And they still work perfectly well! This is a testament to both the HTML specification and the way that ColdFusion simplifies the management of form submission data. And while this feels like "old technology" to me, it occurred to me that there might be little gems in here that newer developers don't know about. As such, I wanted to put together a quick demo on managing lists of IDs using HTML FORM posts in Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4061-managing-lists-of-ids-using-html-form-posts-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-7-47.htm Blog Adam Cameron - CFML: messing around with mixins (part 1)There was a conversation on the CFML Slack channel the other day about mixing-in functions into objects in CFML. This stemmed from some of the way CFWheels has been architected, such as how the main Controller class is composed:https://blog.adamcameron.me/2021/06/cfml-messing-around-with-mixins-part-1.html Tweet - Brad Wood - New CommandBox Themed shirt on BoxLife storeHey CommandBox users, we've added a cool CommandBox-themed shirt to the BoxLife store that says "Server is Up" to remind you of the magic of starting CF servers!https://www.ortussolutions.com/about-us/shop#!/server+is+up!?idea=60b4a32396e7c070517d5872 #CFML #ColdFusionhttps://twitter.com/bdw429s/status/1400908226854539266 https://twitter.com/bdw429s Blog - Ben Nadel - Changing Function Argument Defaults At Runtime In Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47In the vast, vast majority of cases, when I author a Function in ColdFusion that has default argument values, those values are static. Meaning, the argument falls-back to a hard-coded token like 0 or "" or false. The other day, however, when I was exploring the Password4j password hashing library in Lucee CFML, I created a ColdFusion component that had dynamic Function Argument defaults that could be changed at runtime. To be honest, it felt a little strange at the time. As such, I wanted to isolate the use-case and think-it-through a bit in Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4060-changing-function-argument-defaults-at-runtime-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-7-47.htm Blog - FusionReactor - Automatic Root Cause Error AnalysisEvent Snapshots are intended to provide deep-level insight whenever a problem, such as an exception or thread latency occurs. Snapshots are triggered automatically. The Event Snapshot provides automatic root cause error analysis by displaying source code, scope variables, stack trace, and logging information at the point the problem occurs. This, therefore, provides everything you need to isolate the issue as quickly and efficiently as possible.https://www.fusion-reactor.com/blog/technical-blogs/automatic-root-cause-error-analysis/ CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/ Listing over 134 ColdFusion positions from 60 companies across 97 locations in 5 Countries since Dec 1st. 2 new jobs listed this week Contract - ColdFusion Developer at Middle Town, NJ - United States Posted Jun 04https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/CFDev-at-NJ-MiddleTow/11281 Full-Time - Coldfusion Developer at Bengaluru, Karnataka - India Posted Jun 01https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/india/Coldfusion-Developer-at-Bengaluru-Karnataka/11280 Ortus - Senior Developer (USA and El Salvaldor)https://www.ortussolutions.com/about-us/careers ForgeBox Module of the Week JSONPrettyPrint Pretty print JSON objects with line breaks and indentation to make it more human readable. If you have an app that writes JSON files that humans need to easily be able to read, run the JSON through this library first. By default, it doesn't modify the data at all-- only the whitespace. It can, however, sort JSON object keys for you if you wish. https://www.forgebox.io/view/JSONPrettyPrint  VS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the Week Remote - Containers (Preview) by Microsoft 3,933,782 installs The Remote - Containers extension lets you use a Docker container as a full-featured development environment.
