My favorite book of all time. It is the definitive work. Written by a guy that was blinded at Harvard by a crust of bread during a food fight.

6 years ago I joined a 20-person startup. I wanted to quit after my first week, but didn't. Now our company is worth over $1B and has 200+ employees. Here's what I've learned about succeeding at a startup:

There are several examples out there of Electron apps that bundle CommandBox to start servers, etc. In fact, you can bundle the box.jar directly so you have the full CLI but it's OS independent. github.com/fyroc/cfml-electr…

I got sick of googling for datasource configuration examples for H2 and HSQLdb, so I built a searchable CFML snippets website. michaelborn.me/entry/announc… #cfml #modernizeordie

So you've identified a need, but before you plunge in to creating a solution, Wait!. Consider your motives Talk to the people who you think are "victims" of the need. Talk to the people who cause that need to exist Find out if there are other people working on this "need"

Replying to @lariki @cf_camp
CFML is a JVM-based abstraction layer language for backend development (web or APIs etc). If that interests you, there's a great "Modern CFML in 100 minutes" gitbook: modern-cfml.ortusbooks.com There are two implementations of CFML: @lucee_server and Adobe ColdFusion . Use Lucee!

Wow, this is a very concerning Adobe forum thread RE their recent EULA re-interpretation that is threatening long-time CFers w/ legal action. forums.adobe.com/thread/2648… I would be VERY cautious of any CF upgrades & now would be a great time to begin your @lucee_server migration!
