Interview Transcript

Michael:                           Hi, welcome back to the show. I'm here with Steven Hauer from cf.Objective(). We're going to be talking about everything cf.Objective(). Welcome, Steven.

Steven Hauer:                Well thank you, Michael. It's good to be able to talk to you today.

Michael:                           What exactly is cf.Objective() for anyone who hasn't heard of it? I know it's been around for 11 years, but maybe someone out there hasn't heard of it. It's a ColdFusion conference, right?

Steven Hauer:                It is a ColdFusion conference. It initially started in 2006 in Minneapolis and a simple one line description of the conference  CFML and web-centric conference. It covers a wide variety of topics relating to software development.

Michael:                           Why the objective in the name?

Steven Hauer:                That was sort of a play on a CMFL tag at one point when we originally started the conference. It was, I guess we were making it our objective to put on a conference that was meeting the needs of the community that were in an area that weren't particularly being addressed by what was available at the time. The conference has always had a focus on the strong intermediates to high-level user rather than the beginning user of CFML. That was … most conferences come off as either to the general population within a community or a product specific conference where somebody has whatever it is that they're developing, they want to  support for that. With cf.Objective() we were targeting the best of the best, the programmers that either were already or wanted to go beyond what the everyday average developer's going to do.

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.
