ColdFusion Development Skills

Back-End Capabilities

CFML and CFScript: I'm skilled in both tag-based and script-based ColdFusion programming.
Adobe ColdFusion: I have extensive experience with multiple versions of the ColdFusion server.
Lucee: I'm knowledgeable about this open-source CFML engine for cost-effective solutions.
Database Integration: I can connect with various database systems, including legacy databases.
API Development: I create robust APIs to power web and mobile applications, and integrate legacy systems.

Front-End Skills

HTML5: I structure content for modern web standards whilst maintaining backward compatibility.
CSS3: I craft responsive and attractive user interfaces that work across browsers.
JavaScript: I implement dynamic features, from vanilla JS to modern frameworks.
Legacy Front-End Technologies: I'm proficient in older technologies to maintain and gradually upgrade legacy systems.

Legacy ColdFusion Support and Modernisation

I offer specialised legacy support to ensure that older ColdFusion applications continue to deliver value whilst paving the way for modernisation. This includes:

Legacy System Assessment: Evaluating existing ColdFusion applications to identify areas for improvement and modernisation.
Code Refactoring and Optimisation: Streamlining and improving legacy codebase for better performance and maintainability.
Version Migration: Moving applications from older versions of ColdFusion to newer, supported versions, or to Lucee.
Security Audits and Enhancements: Identifying and addressing security vulnerabilities in legacy systems to protect valuable data and comply with modern standards.
Database Modernisation: Upgrading and optimising database structures and queries for improved performance and compatibility.
UI/UX Modernisation: Gradually updating user interfaces for better usability and responsiveness without disrupting familiar workflows.
API Integration: Connecting legacy ColdFusion applications with modern systems and services through custom API development.
Documentation and Knowledge Transfer: Creating comprehensive documentation for legacy systems and advising on best practices for ongoing maintenance.
Phased Modernisation Planning: Developing strategic plans for incrementally modernising legacy applications whilst ensuring business continuity.

ColdFusion for Legacy and Modern Applications

ColdFusion remains a powerful choice for both maintaining legacy systems and developing new applications, offering:

Rapid Development: Complex applications can be built and modified quickly and efficiently.
Scalability: It easily handles growing user bases and increasing data volumes.
Security: It benefits from built-in security features and best practices, even in older versions.
Integration: It seamlessly connects legacy systems with modern technologies.
Performance: It provides high-speed processing and optimal resource utilisation.
Longevity: It leverages ColdFusion's long history of stability and continuous improvement.

My ColdFusion Development and Support Process

Assessment: I thoroughly evaluate current systems and requirements.
Strategy Development: I design a robust plan for development, maintenance, or modernisation.
Implementation: I write clean, efficient code and make careful updates to existing systems.
Testing: I conduct rigorous testing to ensure applications are bug-free and perform optimally.
Deployment: I handle smooth deployment or updates to your chosen environment.
Ongoing Maintenance and Support: I provide continuous support to keep applications running smoothly.
