ICYMI - Online CF Meetup - "I Didn’t Know S3 Could Do That!", with Brian Klaas

Thursday Aug 6th at 12pm US Eastern Time, UTC-4.
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 have dead-simple access to S3 via built-in functionality. S3 goes way beyond just uploading and downloading files, though. By dropping down into the AWS Java SDK, we can unlock the full potential of S3, and that's exactly what we'll do in this session.

Online CF Meetup - "Migrating or comparing CF Admin settings", with Charlie Arehart

Thu, Aug 13 · 11:00 AM CDT
Have you ever wished you could easily compare the CF Admin settings between one instance and another? Whether on different machines or multiple instances on the same machine, or even between one version of CF and another? What about between CF and Lucee?

Online CF Meetup - "PWA's How Did We Get Here?", with Simon MacDonald

Thu, Aug 13 · 5:00 PM CDT
Back in the mid 90’s we only had one cross platform choice for building internet connected applications and that was HTML, CSS and JavaScript. So why is it now that after 25+ years have passed we are back to building internet connected applications with HTML, CSS and JavaScript and calling them Progressive Web Apps? Join me as we journey from the webs earliest beginnings to get back exactly where we started, or have we?
