Blogs, Tweets and Videos of the Week


Ortus Solutions Blog - Eric Peterson - A New Template Approaches: Quick with Auth! 

Tweet - Michael Born
Hey #cfml fans, what's the One Big Thing we desperately need in the ecosystem? No wrong answers.

Ben Nadel - Blog - Solutions Don't Have To Work For Everyone
I used to believe that when I added a new feature to a web application, said feature had to help all users. But, as I've grown older - and I've had to operate under greater constraints at work - I've come to embrace the idea that solutions don't have to work for everyone. A solution that adds value to some segment of users is just that: a value-add. And, there's nothing wrong with incrementally adding value to an application. Especially if you're incrementally adding value on a regular basis. In retrospect this is so obvious that it seems silly to have to articulate; but, this was not always obvious to me. And, I'm excited to be adding more measure and perspective to my current Product Thinking.

Ben Nadel - Blog - Shape Up: Stop Running In Circles And Ship Work That Matters By Ryan Singer
I've been a long-time fan of the good people over at Basecamp (formerly 37 Signals). Their books, like It Doesn't Have To Be Crazy At Work, have a knack for cutting through industry mythology; and, their designs are clear and effective. I've even fantasized about pulling some of their user experience (UX) decisions into InVision. So, when I heard that Ryan Singer wrote a new book - Shape Up: Stop Running in Circles and Ship Work That Matters - I immediately prioritized reading it. And, I'm glad that I did - it's easily one of the most important books that I've read in the last few years.

Brian Klaas - Blog - Start and Stop the ColdFusion 2018 Performance Monitoring Toolset from Anywhere in the Mac OS Terminal
Once of the really nice additions to ColdFusion 2018 is the Performance Monitoring Toolset. This is a very robust tool which helps you see directly inside the black box that the Adobe ColdFusion runtime can sometimes be.
I develop on the MacOS, and any time I restart my machine, I have to also restart the Performance Monitoring Toolset. Rather than having to change directories to this directory each and every time I need to start or stop the Performance Monitoring Toolset, I’d like to simply say “Start the Performance Monitoring Toolset” no matter where I am in the terminal.
Tweet - Andreas Schuldhaus @cfexpert
Glad to see that there is a much more diverse line up at #CFCamp2019  cfcamp.org/sessions.html  Looking forward to a great 10th anniversary of the conference #cfcamp #cfml #coldfusion #lucee

Kai Koenig - Blog - Yeeeeah, there’s that ColdFusion thing - Why CFML is not the web development tech zombie everyone thinks it is.
People who’ve known me for a bit would also know I had a life before mobile development on Android and Flutter.
Apart from being a Flash- and Flex-developer for a few years and being quite involved in those communities, I’ve been doing back-end development since the late 1990s. For that I mainly used various JVM-languages and -platforms. And still, a good amount of my work revolves around the integration on mobile apps with back-end services.
One of the platforms I use for this is CFML. Yes, the infamous ColdFusion Markup Language — quite often erroneously known as ColdFusion in short.

I finally figured out how to find the Modernize or Die (@ortussolutions) podcast on Apple... I had to search for "CFML", not "ColdFusion". Now dinning on some piping-hot ColdFusiony goodness. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mod… #ModernizeOrDie #CFML #ColdFusion #Lucee


Lucee - Blog - Zac Spitzer - TLS v1.2 Support for CFMAIL just added in the 5.3.4.34-SNAPSHOT
The problem with CFMAIL not supporting the TLS 1.2 has been fixed, if anyone who has been affected could test the latest SNAPSHOT that would be great.

Blog - TeraTech - Upgrade Your ColdFusion Today (Security, Performance and Cost)
Think upgrading ColdFusion is a waste of money?
That’s what one of my clients is thinking and he’s making a big mistake. He could lose hundreds of thousands of dollars.
This client’s company was stubbornly sticking to ColdFusion 8. It kept piling new lines of code onto its existing apps. After a while, the company’s code became a Frankenstien’s monster. https://teratech.com/upgrade-your-coldfusion-today-security-performance-and-cost/

cborm version 2.2 is out! With new fluent design for criteria queries, active entity and much more!

Charlie Arehart - Configuring FusionReactor to show "real ip address" when behind a load balancer or other proxy
If your server is behind a load balancer or other sort of proxy, you may have noticed that when you view information about requests in FusionReactor, they all have the same (or nearly the same) IP address. This can be easily fixed, and I show you how in this post.
