CFMeetup: Intro to NativeScript (View video , Show Description )Web developers are people too. They have needs and wants beyond just slinging code that is destined for the modern browser. They may also dream of building native mobile apps. But learning XCode and Android Studio and objective C might not be in the cards.
This is where NativeScript comes in; a framework that allows web developers to build native mobile apps using JavaScript and CSS. Alex Ziskind, the creator of NativeScripting.com, a school for learning NativeScript, will show you how to get started.

CFMeetup: What Web Developers Can Learn From Native Mobile Developers (View video , Show Description )Web developers tend to be unabashed defenders of the web platform, and tend to view native mobile platforms as proprietary, gated and bloated.
As a long-time web developer I felt this way too, but then something unexpected happened: I joined the dark side, and spent five years of my career working on--*gasp*--iOS and Android applications.
Now, like an explorer returning from a multi-year safari--I have so much to share! In this talk I'll discuss how native development has improved the way I write code for the web, and how you can incorporate the best native app performance and testing tips into your web workflows.

CFMeetup: Your best options to build modern front-ends with JavaScript (View video , Show Description )The JavaScript ecosystem moves fast. In the last few years, the ecosystem has consolidated into several dominant choices like React, Angular, and Vue.js. Picking the right frameworks means you will be able to efficiently build apps your users will love. The right choice depends a lot on philosophy and your circumstances. In this presentation we'll go over the major frameworks and discuss the pros and cons to each. We'll also look at sample code and the overall developer experience. At the end of this talk, you'll be better prepared to make the best choice for your company.

CFMeetup: Keeping CF (and Java) updated: challenges and solutions (View video , Show Description )Are you keeping up on whatever updates are available for the CF version you're running (2018, 2016, or so on)? And how about updating the Java/JVM that CF uses? You should be, for security as well as bug fix reasons. And what about the web server connector (wsconfig)?
Ever since CF10, the mechanism to update CF has been a single-click operation in the CF Admin--or at least, that's how it's supposed to be. But sometimes things go amiss, and you can be left with CF not coming up, or the admin not opening, or something in your app failing to work right which you may not notice for even days or weeks.
And the same is true when it comes to updating the Java/JVM that CF uses: there are several things you can easily do "wrong" that will have CF not starting. And even if you do it "right", there may be something amiss (because you missed an important step) that might not bite you for some days--when someone tries to make an https call out of CF. And you may wonder, "what version of Java can I use with my version of CF?"
The good news is that there are answers and a few key best practices to follow in updating CF, the JVM, and wsconfig, which if followed can ensure that each is a quick and painless task. In this session, veteran CF troubleshooter Charlie Arehart will walk through all this, based on his decade-plus experience in helping people troubleshoot such problems daily. The session will apply both to those using the Admin or command line for such update mechanisms.

CFMeetup: How to transform DB tuning into a rewarding effort (View video , Show Description )Poor database performance can cost you customers, and when it's happening that's not the best time to be making decisions about how to monitor and tune things. Better to consider options in advance, and even proactively tune things if possible. Tuning might also allow you to reduce overly-scaled out instances, reducing DB licensing and/or server costs.
In this session, join Josh Patterson who will show you Vroom Performance Suite, a db monitoring tool built by performance engineers for performance engineers. It offers substantial performance information both in real-time and based on historical snapshots. And who wants to be watching a monitor all day? So it also offers real-time alerts. And when it comes time to dig in, it offers help with tracking and assessing db indexing, analysis of expensive queries, and execution plan insights. Hopefully it will also offer you better sleep at night.

CFMeetup: Low-Code for the ColdFusion Developer (View video , Show Description )ColdFusion developers know what it means to be productive. Delivering data-driven websites and solutions is familiar territory. But whether you're an employee in the enterprise, or a contractor seeking out your next gig, you may start hearing about Low-Code, if you haven't already. Maybe your company has decided to try it out, or maybe it's just something a customer asked about, but if you listen to the analysts, Low-Code is a growing segment of the IT market, and a market shaping up to be in the tens of billions of dollars.
Does that mean you should give up ColdFusion? Of course not. But it never hurts to have additional tools to bring to bear on a given problem, and a better understanding of other tools can help inform how you approach what you do today, regardless of what tools you use to do it.
In this session, OutSystems Developer Advocate G. Andrew Duthie will provide an overview of Low-Code, an approach to application development that emphasizes a visual approach to developing screens and logic. He'll show what it brings to the table and demonstrate how OutSystems implements Low-Code, and he will provide a broader look at the Low-Code (and No-Code) landscape, including other players to be aware of in this area.
Bring your curiosity and your questions, and yes, you should even bring your skepticism. All are welcome!

CFMeetup: Start Doing 'Integrated' Testing (View video , Show Description )Sadly, most Developers don't test their code like they should because testing can be hard, and it time consuming and the customer doesn't want to pay for it. In this session, I'll show you how easy testing can be, how quick it can be, and better yet, its FUN!
Integrated is a great tool released by Eric Peterson, inspired by Jeffrey Way's Integrated for Laravel. Laravel has a lot of amazing tools, and Integrated for CFML is a port of one of them.
Integrated lets you write tests in a user friendly way, allowing you to do something as simple as this for a test, interacting with your entire website, not just a UNIT of code.
- Visit this page - See if this text is on the page - Type this into this text field - Type that into this text field - Button the form - Look for an error message on the page.
Learn how this tool can allow you wrap your site in full integration tests in minutes, and give you the jump start you need with your testing, while making it fun.
By creating integration tests, vs unit tests, you don't have to rewrite all your code into testable units to begin, your code is ready, are you?
## 5 Main Points
- Learn how easy it is to add test coverage today without rewriting all your code - Automate your app testing without pressing F5 all day long - Make tests easy for your dev team, and meaningful for your client with meaningful test result pages - Learn a power Domain Specific Language (DSL) for writing your tests that makes sense to developers, new and experienced - Have fun writing tests, and sleep better at night knowing you have test coverage in your app.

CFMeetup: Please pass the salt: Serve up passwords w/ a side of entropy (View video , Show Description )Passwords are like opinions, everyone has them and some are easier to figure out than others. As application developers and DBAs, our users entrust us with the precious keys to their social media, E-mails, bank accounts, and shopping history. Hopefully everyone has figured out storing your passwords in plain text is really bad, but is a simple hash good enough?
You've probably heard someone say that if you're rolling your own crypto, you're probably doing it wrong, but what ARE you supposed to do? There's so much information out there about encryption, hashes, iterations, salts, and entropy that it's hard to decipher and sometimes even harder to convince your boss why it's worth spending time on.
Let's take a practical look into the world of password storage by starting with the most basic approach and what's wrong with it. We'll work through many of the common techniques and explain how they fall short.
We'll talk about the tools crackers use such as brute force, lookups, and rainbow tables to explain how the baddies wrench your users' secrets from your stolen databases using several recent high-profile attacks as examples. How can you protect against a thread you don't even understand?
• Why YOUR site is worth making secure • How hashing differs from encryption • What password policy creates the best entropy • What the heck is a rainbow table and does it have a pot of gold at the end? • What libraries you can start using today to do it "right"?

CFMeetup: Web Acceleration to the Rescue (View video , Show Description )Caching is one of the best ways to maximize the output of your application. However, most developers don't look past their application code and object caching for other available options. Varnish Cache can increase the performance of your website, while at the same time significantly reduce the load on your server. We'll go over how it works and demonstrate how you can use it on your site. Whether you are using ColdFusion on Windows or Linux, whether you are running IIS or Apache, join us to find out how Varish can help.

CFMeetup: SQL, I learned enough to break everything (View video , Show Description )I bet you have written SQL for your app. I would also bet that you have written SQL and looked at it a little like a puppy dog that tilts its head at strange things. We all have, even the experts among us. Nobody is immune to writing things that make you scratch your head.
In this session, we will take a look at why your SQL may not run the way you intended. We will look well beyond just the select statement and look deeper into how SQL runs. We will go over what the DBA's keep to themselves as well as other metrics. We will also look at some debugging techniques to help find problems when they happen.
