Updated Mar 30, 2022] If you would like to view the videos from the Adobe ColdFusion Summit 2021, which happened Dec 7-8, you can view the recordings via the CF Portal “videos“. For a time, you could also find them another way, discussed below, but I am finding on Mar 30 2022 that the other way is failing. Perhaps it’s a temporary problem. Anyway, I have updated the post here to clarify above how you CAN […]

CF Builder 2018 and version control question

I am new to ColdFusion Builder 2018, but I see that it has the ability to track history of file modifications within a workspace. Is there any way that you can check in/out files within CFBuilder 2018 though? It would be nice to know that a file is checked out by someone and needs to be checked in before I work on it. Best I can tell, I double click a file and it asks to take it out of […]
