Speaking at ColdFusion Summit 2020

November 16, 2020

Hi all,

How's 2020 treating you? ;) I haven't been posting much on here of late, for all the same 2020-quarantine reasons that everyone else has. Everything is behind, and going sideways, and all the other crazy things that have been happening. Fortunately I've got a few bits of good news starting to come in that I can share. Like this one:

I'm speaking at the ColdFusion Summit on a panel titled "ColdFusion Application Modernization Challenges". We'll be talking about various issues that come up when trying to move a legacy ColdFusion application into the modern era with tools like containerization, frameworks, and a few things in between. Joining me on the panel are Charlie Arehart, Kishore Balakrishnan, David Byers, Brian Klaas, and Gavin Pickin. It should be a great discussion for anyone dealing with older ColdFusion projects that's looking to modernize things.

Also, this year, the summit is FREE! All the typical "I can't afford it" concerns are gone. All you need to do is register here.

There are some great sessions this year. Here's where I'm hoping to spend my time:
