Adobe ColdFusion Summit 2015 – Panel Participants Announced

You might remember the Adobe Panel discussion from last year’s ColdFusion Summit?

We’re going to have it again this year, so please be sure to stop in for the discussion.  The format will be slightly different this year, in that we’re opening it up to audience questions from the begining.  Last year we didn’t get a chance to finish all of the audience questions so I’m looking to do it differently this year.  Come with your questions for Adobe and topics that the community would be interested in hearing about.  

 

This year we have a great panel, you may know some of these community members already!

Celebrating 20 Years of ColdFusion! CF Photo Collage

In celebration of ColdFusion’s 20 year birthday here at Adobe we’re inviting you to be a part of this milestone with us by posting your picture wishing CF a Happy 20th Birthday.  All entries will come together as a photo collage wall at ColdFusion Summit later this year in Las Vegas, so even if you can’t make it to Summit you can still be a part of the celebrations there! 

Bonus points to those that have pics with ColdFusion props.  We know you all have a favorite t-shirt by now or saved the old shrinkwrap boxes in your basements, so it’s time to dust those off and show us your favorite CF memories!

The best entries will get a surprise gift, so get creative.

Obviously, no inappropriate content please.

Please post all entries to Facebook or Twitter with #CFTurns20 

Happy Birthday ColdFusion!

Tournament Scorecard Pro built with Adobe ColdFusion 11 Mobile

We would like to make an announcement to highlight a great public application that was built with Adobe ColdFusion 11 Mobile Platform Tools by one of our well-known community members, Dave Ferguson.  We think the app is a great example of the types of mobile solutions that can be built utilizing the features available.

Well done Dave!  Thanks for sharing.

 

The application was built using these mobile features of ColdFusion 11: 

Local data storage access using components.

Remote app inspection using built-in weinre server.

App debugging during development process.  

Application building via phonegap build for deployment. 

 

Bootstrap was used for UI controls and layout.  

Dynamic tempting was achieved with Mustache.

jQuery and other Javascript plugins for miscellaneous UI elements.

 

Description:

Tournament Scorecard Pro is an app for keeping score at a martial arts tournament.  These tournaments don’t have a scoreboard for spectators, so it is up to the spectators to keep score themselves.  This has historically been done with pen and paper. However, this method leads to lost scores or other issues. With the app, spectators can easily keep track of scores and always have them with them.  They can now easily look back at previous tournaments for reference.  The app also helps during the tournament when it comes to correcting scoring conflicts and figuring out ties.

 www.tournamentscorecard.com

 

 

Have you built a mobile application using any of the ColdFusion 11 tools?  Tell us about it!
