New Releases and Updates

ICYMI - OpenAI-powered ChatGPT has arrived for Ortus Documentation
We are pleased to announce a fun little project that our Patreon supporters have been testing in private for a week or so. Ortus has rolled out our own OpenAI-powered chat bot, which is fueled by all of the documentation in our GitBooks! This behaves similar to the ChatGPT you’ve likely played with, but is custom loaded with all of our most recent documentation.

Webinar / Meetups and Workshops

Exploring APIS: Building Applications with ColdFusion, REST, & GraphQL
Mark Takata
April 18, 2023
10 AM - 11 AM PT
Online

In this session, Mark Takata will demonstrate the power of ColdFusion's data access capabilities by building three different applications. These applications will include a Google Translate clone, a low-code Contacts Manager, and an ETL workflow that integrates no-SQL with a relational database. Mark will use a combination of built-in ColdFusion tooling and freely available third-party integrations to build these applications, providing attendees with valuable insights into ColdFusion's API & data access development capabilities. All code samples will be available on GitHub following the talk in order to help attendees kick-start their own versions of the apps.
