Streams to rule the world
Gavin Pickin
Welcome to the world of functional programming and streams!
Streams to rule the world
In this session, we will discuss what Java streams are, each of the available methods and options, and how to implement cbStreams into your applications. With real-world examples of stream implementations, this session will also show how using streams can enhance the performance of your application and reduce latency.

Continuous Integration: Zero to Infinity
Pete Freitag
Maybe you've heard the buzz about Continuous Integration (CI) or Continuous Delivery (CD), but what does this look like for a CFML developer? What tools should I look at? How do I start? You will leave this session with an understanding of CI/CD and how you can recharge your team with CI in place.

Do It with CFML: Building Your Own Tools with CommandBox
Matthew Clemente
If you’ve used CommandBox to spin up ColdFusion servers on your local machine, you already know it’s a very powerful tool - but did you know it’s capable of far more?
Do It with CFML: Building Your Own Tools with CommandBox
In this session we’ll explore a completely different use for CommandBox - building custom tooling. That is, we’ll use your existing knowledge of CFML, along with CommandBox, to automate, extend, and enhance your development workflows, servers, and environment.
We’ll begin by examining the code, structure, and functionality of existing CommandBox custom commands (say that three times fast and Brad Wood will appear). Some of these commands you may be familiar with - others may be new to you. You’ll see how the helper components, convenience methods, and available utilities within CommandBox all come together to make custom commands and task runners possible.
CommandBox makes it trivial to harness all the functionality of CFML (think PDF generation, emails, and more), as well as provide commandline interactivity. This is all put together with an intuitive DSL and conventions that make creating your own shareable, reusable command modules straightforward and accessible. So, we’ll build on what we’ve learned from existing CommandBox modules, and I’ll walk you through the process of crafting your own commands and task runners.
By the end, you’ll be ready to take full advantage of the power of CommandBox to automate all-the-things. You’ll have a deeper understanding of CommandBox, its inner-workings, and how you can tap into them for your own applications, projects, and day-to-day tasks.
QB For the Rest Of Us: 1.21 Gigawatts of Fluent and Functional
Samuel Knowlton
If you develop with CFML, sooner or later you're writing queries. Whether you've never used QB or you want to pick up a few new tips and tricks, you'll barely touch queryExecute() again with Eric Peterson's fantastic QueryBuilder library, inspired by Laravel.

No previous experience with QB? Don't use Coldbox? No problem: we'll introduce the power of builder objects, the benefits of SchemaBuilder and migrations, and also show off some new features in the recent release of QB version 7.
Finally, we'll share how we went from being QB neophytes ('that's one of those tools the Ortus guys use, right?') to making QB (and Quick) a cornerstone of our development process.

Serverless Container Deployments on AWS
Seth Stone
If you've experienced the power of running Commandbox servers in Docker for development, you'll love being able to deploy the same setup to production. Using CodePipeline and AWS Fargate you can be up and running in minutes with a fully-automated production pipeline for your containerized CFML app.

Power up your search with cbElasticSearch
Michael Born
If you think database full-text search is slow and bare-bones, you're right. ElasticSearch is becoming the de-facto standard for lightning-fast search, and with cbElasticSearch, the Ortus-built ElasticSearch API client, you can easily integrate with ElasticSearch in your ColdBox application to provide your users with fast and powerful search.

Just Do It! ColdBox Integration Testing
Javier Quintero
In this session, we will go over how to successfully do integration testing with any ColdBox application.
Just Do It! ColdBox Integration Testing

Validate! (or fail.....)
Wil de Bruin
Validation is boring, writing the same logic again and again.

Validation is boring, writing the same logic again and again. Save yourself some trouble and use coldbox validation. With cbvalidation you can validate all incoming request sata or populated objects. Create your own custom validators to use cbvalidation to the max!

5 CommandBox Modules you should be using
Brad Wood
CommandBox has a lot of features out of the box so to speak, but it can also be extended via a modular architecture.

Are you having problems with your web app, which you think might be due to your database? Are you able to monitor what's going on in the DB? Is anyone doing that? Often, no one is. Or you or the DBA are watching the wrong metrics. There are many tools that can help, some better than others.

I Didn't Know S3 Could Do That!
Millions of developers know Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) as the file system for the Internet: it's fast, cheap, and super durable. CFML developers can go beyond built-in access to S3 and unlock its true power by tapping into the AWS Java SDK. That's exactly what we'll do in this session.

Get your Front End Rolling with Vue and InertiaJS
Eric Peterson
Inertia.js lets you "quickly build modern single-page React, Vue and Svelte apps using classic server-side routing and controllers."
Get your Front End Rolling with Vue and InertiaJS
Using Inertia.js is like using your favorite MVC server-side framework (ColdBox, of course) with Vue as the templating language - no need to build a separate API.
In this session, we will take a look at what apps Inertia is a good fit for, go through setup and usage, and take a look at a demo application to get a feel for the framework. This session will explore the cbInertia module, which provides the needed lifecycle and ajax responses to integrate Inertia.js into a ColdBox app on the server. We will show how to render Inertia responses, both for the initial page visit and subsequent client-side transitions, as well as share data on every Inertia request.
To the future with cbFutures
Luis Majano
In this session, we will explore one of the most anticipated ColdBox 6 features: cbFutures.
To the future with cbFutures
We will review the asynchronous and parallel programming SDK built into the core to support not only asynchronous and parallel programming in the framework, but also leverage it for your own applications. To the future!

The Golden Hammer: Confessions of a Recovering Database Abuser
Shawn Oden
Early in my dev career, I often (unwittingly) abused my systems. My code didn't care about things like databases or networks, as long as the results were right. I had a cfHammer, and I needed to pound out a solution. I never knew I was an anti-pattern.

Mental Helpers
Jeffrey Kunkel
How to support your team's mental health without losing yours...
Mental Helpers
Mental health is an ever increasing concern today. As leaders and teammates we can feel powerless to help those around us suffering from mental health issues like depression and anxiety. Navigating the world of mental health is a treacherous path that can lead you to accomplishing the opposite of your goals, or even ending up with issues of your own.
This talk will focus on summarizing a few common mental health issues in the tech / office environment. Giving attendees some tools for recognizing signs, understanding what's going on in their coworkers heads, and being supportive without being intrusive or overbearing.
I will also focus heavily on making sure to maintain your own mental heath while trying to help others, by including helpful resources and advice for seeking professional assistance or helping someone else do so.
I end the talk with a short round table discussion to brainstorm and share ways attendee's have personally dealt with these issues.
This talk is for leaders and coworkers that want to be resources for their teams to help them with their mental health and get them up and running again.
