Great first regular day of the CFSummit 2018 conference.
Much busier today as compared to the pre-conference, lots of wonderful and dedicated CF people to meet. The sessions were solid as well.
Elishia Dvorak, the rockstar of the conference, did a great job giving us a quick overview of the new Performance Monitoring toolkit - it looks like a really solid tool for debugging and troubleshooting our CF2018 applications. I'm looking forward to trying it out.
I then sat through Bouton Jone's Accessible PDF presentation. He seemed to have a great handle on accessibility, but most of the audience had generate PDF questions for him.
I thought Uma Ghotikar did a great job of her Unit Testing and TestBox session. I've been told by others that the earlier MockBox session was a good introduction. There wasn't too much new in here - if you've convinced yourself that you don't have time or resources to do TDD or BDD, there was nothing new there to change your mind. However, it was a good practical session on how to use TestBox.
Brian Klass did an amazing presentation on using Amazon Web Services Step functions. Even though there wasn't much of an obvious place for ColdFusion, it was amazing seeing how quickly his organization built workflows around serverless apps and Amazon services. Again, very practical and very inspiring.
To round out the day, I attended Dave Watts' session on upgrading legacy apps. There wasn't too much new for me here, but Dave is a great presenter and member of the CF community.
The food was good all day, and the evening pool party was a blast. Good appies and drinks, and we were entertained by Hawaiian performers that later pulled key members of the Adobe team up on stage for impromptu dance lessons. Go Tridib and David!!!
Met some great people this evening, and looking forward to another good day tomorrow. Thanks Adobe, thanks CF community!
