Coders, mark your calendars for Adobe ColdFusion Developer Week 2021!
ColdFusion users should be aware that there were updates released last week (Apr 20) to the long-term support (LTS) versions of Oracle Java, 8 and 11 (the two versions supported currently by CF2021 and CF2018). For more on the updates, see the Oracle technotes: Release notes for java 11.0.11 Release notes for java 8.0_291 For some, that’s all they need to hear. For other folks, you may want to (need to) to know a lot more. For that, see a […]

It seems in 2018 the password used when sending a CFMail is encoded in the message. So what if CF was configured with the wrong password. Several hundred messages were queued up, and you realize the issue. You fix the password. Verify the connection is confirmed and go to copy the messages from undelivered to spool to send out. Nope! They all fail. Bad idea Adobe.
As one of the fundamental backbones of DevOps, a CI/CD pipeline can provide many strategic advantages for your organization. In the 2016 release of Adobe ColdFusion, we first introduced Docker Image which made cloud-based applications, modern methodologies and automated development pipelines a reality. DevOps started to gain popularity and developers were able to speed up development, secure their codes and deploy in an automated step. Further, Adobe ColdFusion 2018 made it significantly easier to deploy complex cloud architecture, microservices, and […]
I may need therapy after trying to do something so simple… download the installer via wget to an ubuntu AWS EC2 instance using the terminal.
This is an on-going series of posts covering ColdFusion basics for new developers. This series is intended to cover basic concepts. In this article, I over the building blocks of ColdFusion; Tags, Script, and Functions, focusing on functions.

We are pleased to welcome Mark Takata, to the Adobe ColdFusion Family. Mark would be taking the role of Technical Evangelist. I first met Mark at CF Summit 2018 and again at 2019 where he was a speaker. He is very passionate about anything related to ColdFusion and always has ideas on new features to be included in CF. Mark learned CF in the late 90s as his first programming language. Over a career spanning two decades Mark has worked […]
Let’s all offer a hardy welcome to our new Adobe ColdFusion Technical Evangelist, Mark Takata. It’s great to see Adobe creating (recreating) that position. I’m pretty sure that the last formal CF “evangelist” (with that name as their title) was Terry Ryan (about 10 years ago), and before that Adam Lehman (who later became Product Manager). And while Elishia Dvorak did indeed work AS an evangelist for CF, though her title was Technical Marketing Manager (she has moved over to […]
This may not be “news” for everyone but somehow it had slipped by me: the ColdFusion 2021 Lockdown Guide has been available since December 2020 (and was updated slightly in Jan 2021). I find no mention of it here, so I thought it a good post to share. The 2021 guide is about 9 pages longer than the 2018 version. The new version covers security-related aspects of new features in CF2021, such as CF package management (cfpm), as well as […]
