How to not create shelfware – webinar 7/8/2014 1pm EDT

July 1, 2014 By Michaela Light Leave a Comment

The event that was held on 7/8/2014 was very interesting.

I was able to talk to some of the best CFers out there. What I like about webinars is that one can learn as much as teach. Just by talking to the people from ColdFusion world makes me happy and proud to say that I am working with them.

About the webinar

If you don't get users involved early in the project, you risk ending up with shelfware. That means that you wrote some great code, the operation was a success but the patient died on the table. None of the users want to use the application and it's left on the shelf.  What can you do about this?

HownottocreateshelfwareSome of the keys to successful projects are getting

·        executive support

·        having a project champion

·        early user buy-in

·        early usability testing

Thanks to all attendees, it was fun, as always! Looking forward to seeing you soon!

CF Rocks!

Michaela Light is the host of the CF Alive Podcast and has interviewed more than 100 ColdFusion experts. In each interview, she asks "What Would It Take to make CF more alive this year?" The answers still inspire her to continue to write and interview new speakers.

Michaela has been programming in ColdFusion for more than 20 years. She founded TeraTech in 1989. The company specializes in ColdFusion application development, security and optimization. She has also founded the CFUnited Conference and runs the annual State of the CF Union Survey.

Because… perhaps you are responsible for a mission-critical or revenue-generating CF application that you don’t trust 100%, where implementing new features is a painful ad-hoc process with slow turnaround even for simple requests.

What if you have no contingency plan for a sudden developer departure or a server outage? Perhaps every time a new freelancer works on your site, something breaks. Or your application availability, security, and reliability are poor.

And if you are depending on ColdFusion for your job, then you can’t afford to let your CF development methods die on the vine.

You’re making a high-stakes bet that everything is going to be OK using the same old app creation ways in that one language — forever.

All it would take is for your fellow CF developer to quit or for your CIO to decide to leave the (falsely) perceived sinking ship of CFML and you could lose everything—your project, your hard-won CF skills, and possibly even your job.

Luckily, there are a number of simple, logical steps you can take now to protect yourself from these obvious risks.
