Online #ColdFusion Meetup - "GET /cfml - A Guide to Writing API Wrappers" with Matthew Clemente

Thu Oct 31, 12p US ET
Nearly everything has an API; they are the language of the internet. With a simple HTTP call, you can process a payment, send a text, and yes, even return random cat pictures. While many API providers have official libraries, ColdFusion may not be one of the supported languages. In this session, I'll show you how to craft your own coherent wrapper for APIs that don't already have ColdFusion support. We'll examine code from real-world examples to learn practical design strategies, as well as the theory behind them. After all, while every API is different, the underlying RESTful principles are the same.

Blog - Grae Desmond on ColdFusion.Adobe.Com - ColdFusion Summit 2019 Recap (Vegas Edition)
So a little late putting together my thoughts on the ColdFusion Summit 2019 in Vegas earlier this month.  Oh well, it happens but at least I’m getting around to it now.  Better late than never.

FusionReactor tracks calls to any logging implementation made within your application. These logs are captured within the request object and can be configured based on their log severity.
We capture log statements for both Java frameworks and CF log statements

Tweet- Matt Gifford - Lessons learned from his first Live Coding Stream
Things I have learnt from my first live coding stream: 1. It’s hard to talk about what you are coding and why you are coding it as you are coding it. 2. It’s a new experience to fill up dead air with chatter as you do so. 3. It’s a lot of fun. #monkehVideo #cfml #lucee

Blog - Matt Gifford - Monkeh Video Live Stream
On Friday 25th October 2019 I broadcast the first live video stream for Monkeh Video.
My plan is to essentially have some fun on streaming media. Monkeh Video will cover presentations, code refactoring, tips and tricks, tutorials on certain frameworks and practices and some live coding exercises that some may find useful.
