In this talk, veteran Adobe ColdFusion troubleshooter and presenter Charlie Arehart will continue his tradition of identifying hidden gems, this time in Adobe ColdFusion 2016 (formerly known as CF12, or code-name, Raijin). Sure, we hear all about the big, new features in each release, or some that wow certain developers (or disappoint others), but in every release of ColdFusion there are always lots of little things that go unheralded and may be just what you've been waiting for, and this is just as true in Adobe ColdFusion 2016. Some may solve a long-standing problem for you, or provide a new technique, whether related to coding, troubleshooting, administration, configuration, enterprise integration, and more. | API Economy: Realizing The Business Value of APIs Through Adobe API Management - Elishia Dvorak | | The Internet of things and business solutions as services are driving major growth in the use of web Application Program Interfaces (APIs) as currency in digital strategies.

| | Why Everyone Else is Writing Bad Code - Dan Wilson | | Coding can be considered an art form. However some art is better than others (I'm looking at you Jackson Pollock!). In this presentation, we'll look at code that is poorly written and look at other ways to express the same functionality in a clearer more concise way. | | PDF’s Dynamic Features Made Possible with Adobe ColdFusion - Masha Edelen | | Being born to Adobe family ColdFusion and PDFs have a native way of communication, allowing developers to create, edit, and protect PDFs on-the-fly. This presentation will show you how to take your PDFs to the next level utilizing latest arsenal of features, including form manipulations and advanced security features. | | Crash Course in jQuery - Nolan Erck | | jQuery has become ubiquitous with modern web development. It makes many common JavaScript tasks much easier, provides cross-browser support, and that’s only the beginning. After the basics, jQuery can also be used to easily add animation, asynchronous functionality (Ajax), and more to your projects. This session will cover installing and using jQuery basics, then we’ll get into integrating jQuery into your HTML forms, Ajax, adding animations, and other effects to your websites, as well as some jQuery best practices. | | Building APIs with Adobe ColdFusion, and the REST is easy... - Giancarlo Gomez | In this session, we will quickly discuss the benefits and constraints of RESTful services. REST does not have to be hard, in fact it’s not meant to be. We will learn this by building a simple API from scratch using the features available to us in Adobe ColdFusion. We will also explore how to achieve this using other popular community driven frameworks.
By the end of the talk, you’ll have a better understanding of REST use cases, and will be launching point for you to start integrating into your projects. |
