Many of you using models in your ColdBox app are familiar with how easy WireBox makes it to use the Singleton Pattern for components that are only created once in the life of your app.  

This can also be a bit of a pain when you are working on the code inside your singleton objects.  Any changes require you to re-create the singleton object which typically involves a reinit of the framework.  ColdBox has a handy setting for you to use on your development environment called singletonReload.  

We are at it again.  We are holding a workshop that will introduce you to our new free open source Content Engine: ContentBox.  The ColdBox Blog has more info.  Head over to the blog to find more info about the workshop.
