Hawaii CFUG - Using CFCs in your ColdFusion Applications with John Barrett

Friday, February 25, 2022 - 5:00 PM CT - Central Time (US and Canada)
This will be a talk on using CFCs in your ColdFusion applications. Creating and developing applications using CFCs enables you to separate the code logic from the design and presentation. Utilizing CFCs and creating a clear structured format for your code will help reduce the complexity of logic within your pages and improve the application speed. Having a clearly structured, the well-organized code base will make it easier to develop as an individual and share resources within a team. This is the instant benefit of CFC development.

Tweet - Brad Wood - X-Forwarded-For in CommandBox vNext
Fair warning-- for a more secure-by-default behavior, CommandBox vNext will no longer trust X-Forwarded-For HTTP headers unless you configure it to. This is to prevent IP-based access control being circumvented. https://ortussolutions.atlassian.net/browse/COMMANDBOX-1424 #CFML #ColdFusion #InfoSec #SecureByDefault

Blog - Ben Nadel - I Always Design The Database Schema First, Then The ColdFusion Code
Throughout my career, I've often heard that it is a best practice to design your "Domain Objects" and your "Business Logic" first and then, eventually, to design a database schema that allows your domain objects to be persisted. I've even seen many ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) systems that will happily churn-out database schemas based solely on your Objects (and their metadata). Personally, I've never done this. In fact, I find this approach to be antagonistic to how my brain operates. When I'm working on a ColdFusion application (or a feature therein), I always start with the database schema first and then layer the ColdFusion application upon it using an iterative, ground-up approach.
