Mentioned by James Moberg on Twitter
A #ColdFusion Taffy API was timing out due to 3rdparty MSSQL table locks. I started using @hyperjump_tech Monika to log performance every 60 seconds to expose impact. monika.hyperjump.tech #CFML Metrics are logged to SQLite DB. #opensource #portable #yaml #notifications
Monika is an open source synthetic monitoring command line application. It is actively developed and completely free!
Loads of integrations.
https://monika.hyperjump.tech/ ICYMI - Adobe ColdFusion Builder (VS Code) Beta
Do you want to help us test and improve our upcoming Adobe ColdFusion Builder Extension for VS Code? Well, the time is nearly here. We are collecting emails of interested users.
We are starting with a very small closed beta just to shake any lingering bugs out. This is happening over the weekend.
Once we feel comfortable, users who have signed up for this beta (form link below) will slowly begin getting invites for a pre-release forum dedicated to the full closed beta program. This is likely to occur early to mid next week.
We need people who are fired up, willing to put in time testing and provide us with solid, informative feedback. The full, open launch of the product is coming shortly after Dev Week but this is your opportunity to get a chance to see it early, test it and help us make it as awesome as possible.
Please note: There may be bugs. This should not be used in production during the time of the beta testing. I shouldn't have to tell you that lol. But here we are. I use this tool already in my day to day. But your workflow might be different. We will be adding people slowly, so if you don't get an email early next week, just give it a moment. The earlier you sign up, the more likely you get in.

Thursday, July 7, 2022
9:00 AM to 10:00 AM PDT
In this session, we are going to plan and build our very own Developer Feud Quiz. To do this, we will analyze and plan our app, starting with the User Stories, and then mapping that to Database, Models, and we can start building out our API, using CRUDDY by Design philosophies. We’ll shell out our TDD style Tests, and then create a couple of resources and routes.

From Slack re Adobe Certified Professional
The Adobe Certified Professional: Adobe ColdFusion cert is a totally different, MUCH more difficult and comprehensive certification than the CF Specialist previously offered.
Mark Takata, Nolan and Dave F + the CF engineering team, Elishia and Kishore all spent a week together building the new one and it is HARD.
I highly recommend it as a test of your skills, I guarantee everyone will learn something new.
Yes, but there's also over 100 hours of video to go over before the 1 day lecture + cert. So you watch videos, sit in class, then take the exam there. It is no joke, definitely challenging, but super satisfying to pass.
Plus you get access to those videos for a year, which is nice for going back and reviewing things down the line.

https://coldfusion.adobe.com/?p=11117 7/12/22 - Blog - Charlie Arehart - What's new FusionReactor 8.8.0, just released?
Good news for FusionReactor users: a new version, 8.8.0, has just been released. You can see a list of several bullet points about it in the release notes.
TLDR: If it's enough for you to know that FR is now updated and those bullets may suffice, you now have what you need to know. :-)
In this post, I want to expand on those to give more context. I have no inside info or advanced knowledge of the release: this comes from my own assessment of things as I just applied the update this morning. As such, I could be wrong on some points, or may need to come back to clarify something. But in the meantime, I hope this overview may help folks, as sometimes the single bullets in the release notes can leave you wondering. :-)

Hey #ColdFusion & #CFML devs, what function do you use to safely repopulate an INPUT value attribute? I've used htmlEditFormat, but it's deprecated in CF11. Use encodeForHTMLAttribute? Docs state "use in HTML attribute, such as table width or image height". No mention of "value".

A few cool new things have been added thanks to Eric Peterson.
It is easy to create a jasper site through the command line. Inside an empty directory, jasper init will create a scaffold of jasper-cli. Tip of the hat to Eric.

Earlier this week, I looked at using form POST-backs to build up complex objects in ColdFusion. That technique allowed for deeply-nested data to be seamlessly updated using dot-delimited "object paths". My previous demo used a single page to render the form. As a fast-follow, I wanted to break the demo up into a multi-step form workflow in which each step manages only a portion of the complex object.

ForgeBox Module of the Week
commandbox-jasper
A static site generator implemented in Commandbox
Last year I wrote a static site generator called Jasper. So far I have built Jasper using ColdBox as well as FW1. I am going to take things one step further and I will implement Jasper as a CommandBox module. Apparently I really enjoy writing SSGs.
I decided to split the project into two main parts: the jasper-cli blog scaffold and the jasper command that handles generating the static site.
