I was lucky enough to attend (and speak) at this year's Into the Box conference in Houston, TX.

ForgeBox.io, in case you didn't know, is directory of CFML packages - bits of code both large and small - written and shared by the developer community to make all of our lives easier.

At Adobe's ColdFusion Summit (2017), I was able to attend Brian Klaas's presentation, "Level Up Your Web Apps With Amazon Web Services."

I've recently begun working on a CFML project that involves interacting with AWS Lambda.

I'm flying home from my first CFSummit - what a great conference!

I'm speaking next month at Adobe ColdFusion Summit 2017 in Las Vegas.

Admission: I've only recently started using tags to version my Git repositories.

This past weekend I had the opportunity to present at NCDevCon in Raleigh, NC.

My latest side project has been developing SendGrid.cfc a CFML wrapper for the SendGrid API (v3).

This is the third in a series of posts about getting started with Docker.

I just got Docker up and running, and now I want to use it to run some of my actual ColdFusion code.

Our team is planning on moving to Docker in the coming months.

Well, they say that all good things must come to an end, which turns out to be the case for Mailgun's free email address validation API, a service about which I've spoken highly in the past.

I'm frequently digging up documentation for various CFML functions.

What's the name of that function?

I'm making an effort, when I learn something while resolving an issue, to document the process.

As evidenced by the dearth of posts, life, both personally and professionally, has been extremely busy of late.

The TL;DR of this post, which should be readily apparent from the title, is that Mailgun provides an excellent service for email validation.

While struggling to write a different post, I procrastinated by deciding that, to boost my productivity, I needed the preview of the post to live-reload.

This is just an update on the cfscript lexer for Rouge.

Well, I submitted by PR for adding CFScript to Rouge, so we'll see how that turns out.

This wasn't supposed to be long post - just a quick write-up on a helpful function that I stumbled upon.

We recently had the need to validate rich text input in one of our applications.

When I started blogging with Jekyll, one of the projects that interested me was working on a CFML lexer for Rouge.

There are two small projects I've been working on: salesforceiqcfc and screenshotlayercfc.

We recently encountered a memory leak that I suspected was the result of poor var scoping, but I couldn't locate the offending code.

One of the most common application requirements is outputting an arbitrary amount of data in organized rows and columns.

We recently upgraded to ColdFusion 11 (I know, less than ideal timing).

I wrote procedural CFML for a long time.

One of the most regularly occuring frustrations in development is spending time working through what seems like a complex problem, only to discover, in the end, that it was caused by something embarrassingly simple.

We're still using ColdFusion 10 in production, but we're using ColdFusion 11 for some new development (I doubt we'll use ColdFusion 2016 until it's been out in the wild for a few months.)

We recently migrated to Mailgun (from SES on AWS) and in general have been thrilled with the change.

This is the final installation in my three part attempt to get up and running with Jekyll and Github Pages.

Yesterday I wrote about getting started with Jekyll, which was really just recounting my difficulties getting Ruby set up and configured correctly.

This was supposed to be a post complaining about the standards, or lack thereof, applied by ThemeForest, to the Wordpress Themes they well.

I want to blog, but never actually do.
