ICYMI - CBWire Updated Example App
Now with updated example app - clone the repo and start it up.
Building modern CFML apps is a pain. ColdBox makes creating server-side apps easy, but what about the client-side? Front-end JavaScript frameworks like Vue and React are powerful, yet they also introduce complexity and a significant learning curve when creating our apps.
What if you could create apps that look and feel like your Vue and React web apps but are written with CFML. Impossible, you say? Nay, we say!
Introducing CBWIRE: Power-up your CFML!

Hawaii CFUG - OOP & ColdFusion
Friday, August 26, 2022 at 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM PDT
Object-Oriented Programming is a common term in programming languages. It’s a vast concept but to sum it up in a single line, it is a set of concepts and techniques that make use of the “object” construct, to write more reusable, maintainable, and organized code. Objects are implemented differently in every language. In ColdFusion, we have ColdFusion Components (CFCs) that can be instantiated to create objects.
Anyone who has ever studied OOP must know that there are four main concepts, which are:

• Abstraction
• Encapsulation
• Inheritance
• Polymorphism
