098 Adobe CF Summit West 2019 (All that is new) with Kishore Balakrishnan

Sep 24, 2019

Kishore Balakrishnan talks about “Adobe CF Summit West 2019 (All that is new) with Kishore Balakrishnan” in this episode of the CF Alive Podcast, with host Michaela Light.

"...all the ColdFusion developers, that's one place where you get to meet the actual ColdFusion developers who develop the product and interact with them as well. And it's also one place where, and they also in fact, but, uh, it's sort of a place where you could get some ideas from each other. Uh, it's not, it's not an everyday occurrence that I could envision a developer who's developing ColdFusion that is the Adobe engineers, uh, get to interact with the developers, but the actual code developers to know how the features which they're developed are being utilized..."
