Launch a Campaign to Expand the Realms of ColdFusion

Ye noble CF developers and CIOs of Middleware-Earth, let us embark on a grand quest not just to bolster the spirits of our existing CF fellowship but to extend the renown of ColdFusion far beyond the borders of our world. Let us take inspiration from the great journeys across Middleware-Earth as we explore ways to promote the vast potential of our beloved platform. ????♂?

??? The Call of the Podcasts

In the tradition of the bards of old, sharing tales of ColdFusion's prowess through the medium of podcasts can enlighten the broader developer community. From the heroic narratives on the ColdFusion Alive Podcast to guest appearances on other tech sagas, let's voice our ColdFusion chronicles far and wide.

??? Webinars: The Modern Councils of Elrond

Gather around the digital palantírs for webinars that showcase the magic of ColdFusion. Through Zoom's portals, we can share our knowledge and projects, mirroring the unity and purpose of the Council of Elrond, albeit with a tech twist.

?? Live Stream Events: The Fires of Anor Light up the beacons with live stream events on platforms like FB Live and Twitch, drawing in developers and curious minds alike. Plan these gatherings with care, and let the wisdom of ColdFusion veterans guide these interactive sessions.

?? Reddit AMAs: The Gathering of Minds

Venture into the realms of Reddit for an Ask Me Anything session, a modern-day gathering where questions fly like arrows in the Battle of Helm's Deep. This is a golden opportunity to illuminate ColdFusion's strengths to those both within and outside our community.

“I'm a big believer in the phrase, when you teach you learn. I always find that I walk away energized from teaching as well. I look forward to sharing knowledge, just going to conferences where you get a chance to connect with peers and walk away re-energized about your work. As developers know, there's a lot of days that you're just slogging through lines and lines of code and some days it's not fun.” — Jon Clausen , President, Silo Web From CF Alive episode, "011 Portable CFML with Cloud deployments, Microservices and REST with Jon Clausen"

??Onwards!

?? Over the next two weeks, we shall delve into the strategies and lore behind hiring ColdFusion programmers, seeking out those who will join and enrich the ranks of our fellowship. Together, we will explore how to identify, attract, and welcome the Gandalfs, Aragorns, and Legolases of the ColdFusion world into our midst. ??♂???♂????

Together, let us illuminate your CF venture with the light of Galadriel, scattering the shadows that dwell within the web's deepest fissures.
