TODAY - 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.

Sac Interactive Meetup - Crash Course in Web Components with Nolan Erck

Wednesday - April 19th, 2023 - 6:30PM PT

Web Components provide a modular way to build a consistent design system and user experience across your entire application. Instead of copy/pasting the same chunks of coded into various places, you can have a JavaScript/HTML expert focus on getting the UX correct, without them needing to worry about what's happening in the back-end at all.

Web Components offer reusable functionality on the front-end, with native JavaScript. They are a great middle-ground between standard request/response based traditional web applications, and apps that aren't quite ready to move to a full-on JavaScript SPA framework. Web Components themselves are 100% native JavaScript - no new libraries required! Let's learn how Web Components work, then look at integrating them into a back-end like CFML or PHP -- I promise it's easier than you think!
