I'm delighted to announce that I've been selected to speak again (for the 12th straight year) at the upcoming Adobe CF Summit conference, to be held in Las Vegas Sep 30-Oct 1.

Actually, I've had two of my talks selected. The first will be a repeat of the one I offered at CFCamp in Germany last month (June), while the second is a brand new talk (and one I've been meaning to offer for a long time):

If you may have missed the news, Adobe recently held an online event over several weeks (Mid-Feb to Mid-March) where they had most of the presenters from the Adobe CF Summit 2023 in Vegas give repeats of their talks. (They call it the "Online Summit", though some may refer to it also as the "summit online"). Of course, it's a great way for those who can't attend the event to see the talks--and for the presenters it can be a great chance to tweak their talks since giving them a few months before.

And the recordings are all available online, and here's how to find them.

Just wanted to share news for my readers here that tonight (Apr 9 at 7pm US Eastern time) I will be presenting at the online meeting of the Mid-Michigan CFUG, on the topic, "What if no one is monitoring your DB server?".

Anyone can join in live, and the meeting will also be recorded and posted eventually at their Youtube Channel.

Here's the description for my talk, which is also offered on my site's presentations page:

Last week (Feb 15) I gave the first talk in the annual Adobe ColdFusion Online Summit for CF2024, and the recording of that session has now been posted by the Adobe CF team (as the first of many such recordings to come).

Sorry that I didn't get a chance to offer a blog post announcing this talk (or the Online Summit). My wife had some rather significant surgery early last week (planned for, and she's ok), which had me quite busy taking care of her and my work. The announcing of this talk slipped between the cracks (but Adobe had announced it and the Online Summit themselves, of course). I have a few more posts to offer that have been delayed.

I've done a few online presentations in recent weeks, and while I've done a blog post announcing each when it was upcoming, I was torn about also doing a blog post after each, just to mention their recording URL. I don't want people to feel there are "too many" posts. Also, since I use youtube live for the CFMeetup sessions, technically the url for the meeting is indeed the same one to use to view the recording of it: so if you know one, you know both.

But some people seem to notice when news is shared of a recording being made available, so here you go.:-) These are 4 sessions I've done in Jan 2024 and Dec 2023.

Do you feel you understand all there is to know about the CF Package Management feature (and cfpm tool), added by Adobe in CF2021? It has far more capabilities than most may realize.

So I'll be presenting a talk on this topic, online this Thursday, at noon US Eastern, on the CFMeetup youtube livestream (which will be recorded). Folks who are members of the Online ColdFusion Meetup will have already gotten email notification about this, including the meeting URL, but for those who are not members here are the details:

Presenting "Updating the Java underlying ColdFusion: considering it, doing it" Thurs Jan 18, Online

As most know, ColdFusion runs atop Java (and has since CF6). Did you know that JVM updates come out quarterly (including one just this week)? While some may find the process of doing them to be "old hat", others are often surprised to discover it's their responsibility to keep that Java updated. And on the surface, "installing Java" is easy--but like so many other things, "the devil is in the details".

So I ~~will be presenting~~ presented a talk on this topic, online ~~this Thursday, at noon US Eastern~~, on the CFMeetup youtube livestream (which ~~will be~~ was recorded).

Last week I did a talk on MIGRATING to CF2023 (as that's a challenge that many contemplate BEFORE proceeding to install it). This week I will follow-that up with a talk on INSTALLING it, and addressing various challenges in doing that. Some people don't do development and only deal with installing it. (Others don't ever want to install CF, and I address alternatives for them also.)

So I ~~will be presenting~~ presented this talk online ~~this Thursday, at noon US Eastern,~~ on the CFMeetup youtube livestream (which ~~will be~~ was recorded).

It's that time of the year...well, I don't mean the holidays: I mean time to talk about migrating to CF2023, which came out several months ago. I'm getting asked more and more about it, as people proceed with making or considering the move--and sorry for the brief notice, but I thought I better get this talk out before the end of the year, and before the holidays.
