ICYMI - Ortus Webinar - Modern Coldfusion - No more copy and paste
Friday September 25th 2020 at 11:00 AM CDT (GMT -5:00)
with Gavin Pickin
Copy and Paste coding is a tried and true development method, but as your project grows, so can your headaches. With Modern ColdFusion there are lots of tools in your toolbelt that can make your life easier when it comes to maintaining your code. In this webinar we'll look at best practices for keeping your code DRY (don't repeat yourself) and maintainable across your project and even multiple projects.
