Insightful Sessions

Our speakers delivered insightful sessions, covering various ColdFusion topics to benefit the community. For those who missed them or wish to revisit the presentations, you can find the speaker's presentations using the following links:

Session 1: A Summary of “Out of the Tar Pit"

Jacob Beers, Senior Developer at Ortus Solutions



Description: In 2006 a white paper by Ben Moseley and Peter Marks called "Out of the Tar Pit" gave developers new hope for tackling the growing complexity of enterprise level applications. In the paper the authors identify several ways in which application complexity gets out of hand, how to correct it, and how to keep things simple as your features grow. This talk will communicate a streamlined and concise explanation of the content of "Out of the Tar Pit" and provide concrete examples for developers to apply when untangling the complexity of existing applications.

Session 2: Modern Functional Fluent CFML REST

Luis Majano, CEO at Ortus Solutions



Description: In this session, we will review 6 versions of the same API to take it from just working to thoroughly modern, fluent, and functional. We will review the guiding principles of software architecture, but most of the time, we will review and compare code.
