Demo applications to Demo DBs?

Question

Hello, I just installed CF2016 Developer to make a test application and found that come with few Demo Databases to work with but I didn't found demo templates which uses these DBs... where can I get them?

I didn't installed the Builder yet because the license is only for 30 days, and I will only have enough time to work on it in few weeks, but I would love to put something to run to make sure all the installation is ok and start to getting used to the new CF.

I worked for 10 years with CF but I didn't touch anything since 2008, and really would like to comeback to CF and learn all the new stuff released on the last 10 years. I'm working with C/C#/C++ in the last decade so I need to re-learn lots of stuff.

I need help to setup the enviroment and make it run, then I can move foward easily I think... with a simple demo application working will help me a lot.

thank you!

To my knowledge, no "example" apps are available from Adobe. However, if you look at many of the popular ColdFusion frameworks (FW/1, ColdBox, CFWheels, etc.), they often come with sample applications to demonstrate their functionality. You might also peruse GitHub for projects tagged as using ColdFusion/CFML.

Keep in mind though, that every application you develop is different. So there is no "one best config" for starting out a new application. Also, consider moving to Application.cfc rather than Application.cfm as it allows more fine-grained management of your applications settings and behavior.

I got everything I want at Adobe Coldfusion YouTube channel. Have a full detailed step by step which help me a lot in the bridge from the old CF that I'm used to, until the new CF 2016 version. Funny that anyone here knows about it.

"Also, consider moving to Application.cfc rather than Application.cfm as it allows more fine-grained management of your applications settings and behavior."

this is a "best config available" that I meant... I already learned that on YouTube, very nice indeed.

I think at YouTube have everything I need. Thanks anyway.

I don't know about CF2016, but in CF10 and CF11, I don't believe there are any templates for testing with the sample databases. However, I believe that there are many online examples of code for use with those sample databases.

HTH,
