ColdFusion Legacy To Modernization E-Course
The first ever e-course designed to take your legacy CF app all the way to Modernization.
So you’re a CIO with a legacy ColdFusion app. You want to modernize, but you’re concerned about:
- Finding the time to do it
- The potential cost
- Not knowing where to start
- The pushback from your team
- Hobbits eating all of your spaghetti code for second breakfast
What if you had a clear, step-by-step CF modernization roadmap?
I’ve been modernizing CF apps since 2013 -back when Gandalf’s beard still had a hint of black!
I guess you could label me a ColdFusion fanatic because:
- I wrote a book on ColdFusion modernization
- I’m the host of the CF Alive Podcast
- I’ve worked exclusively on CF apps for the last 11+ years
- I attend and speak at CF conferences around the world
- I moderate the ColdFusion Inner Circle private Facebook community
You could say I’m the Gandalf of ColdFusion—guiding it through the ages, minus the staff and the pointy hat.
Have You Experienced Any of The Following?
- You feel like your ColdFusion app is on thin ice and you’re afraid of a security disaster or a pending crash
- Your app’s performance is lagging and your dev team refuses to address the technical debt
- When a dev does work on your app, for every bug it fixes, four more bugs emerge
- The key developer who understood the legacy system just left or got promoted and now you’re uncertain about how to move forward without disrupting operations.
