As part of my “Introduction to MVC in ColdFusion” presentation that I’ve given at CF Summit 2016 and NCDevCon 2017, I have a sample application written three ways: In procedural style (all CFMs), As a FW/1 MVC application, and As a ColdBox MVC application. This might be a useful reference for folks contemplating starting to write applications in MVC or migrating existing apps to MVC. Here’s the repo on GitHub (along with the presentation slide deck): https://github.com/cfvonner/Intro-to-MVC-ColdFusion
Hi. I’m interested to find out if anyone else has written some frequently used code that generates at least 100,000 personalised emails at a time? e.g. a mailing list.

All of the recipients are in a query and I’m using <cfmail query=”#query#”> to loop through it. There are several cfif/cfelse parts to provide some personalisation based on what’s […]

ColdFusion 2016 added a handy enhancement to make writing secure CFML code easier for developers. This enhancement helps developers protect large chunks of code from a security vulnerability known as Cross Site Scripting or XSS. What is Cross Site Scripting? A cross site scripting vulnerability allows the attacker to execute client side code on the victim’s browser. In many cases the cross site scripting vulnerability can be used to exploit additional vulnerabilities or even leverage browser vulnerabilities to install malware on the victims […]
