Into the Box - Hackathon added to Happy Box
During the first day of Into the Box Conference 2023; on May 18th, we're hosting a Happy Box Party where attendees can connect and network with one another. We're excited to announce that this year, we're introducing a new activity: a Hackathon team-up event! This hackathon is an excellent opportunity for tech enthusiasts to come together, collaborate, share their skills and knowledge, and work on innovative projects that tackle real-world problems. We hope you'll join us for this exciting time!

We are currently in the process of finalizing the topics for the hackathon and would love to hear your feedback.

Charlie’s Blog Anniversaries
An interesting pair of anniversaries for my blog: 600 posts, over 17 years this month
After I posted my last entry, I happened to notice that it was exactly my 600th post here at carehart.org/blog. How about that? And in that time I've had 3,645 comments from folks. I do write mostly for you all, so thanks!
I also noticed that it marks my 17th year of blogging here, almost to the day with my first entry posted this same week back then, Apr 15 2006. That's "pretty darn interesting", as Ray Camden might say.

FWIW, I'd also blogged elsewhere--yes, on CF--prior to starting this one. And the first of those posts were in early 1998--so technically it's my 25th anniversary of blogging about CF. :-)

Mark Takata
April 18, 2023 - 10 AM - 11 AM PT
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.
