I just posted my Advanced Workshop session given today. It was a great presentation and attendance. If you where not there, you can still check it out by going to the wiki presentations area. The presentation shows all the demos we should have done, I am also uploading the complete workshop source code and the script that was my guide to create the demos. As a side note, I will be translating the demos to screencasts so you can follow along. It should take me a few weeks, but they will get there.

Introducing the BoxLang Spring Boot Starter: Dynamic JVM Templating for Spring
Spring Boot developers know the pain of evaluating view technologies. Thymeleaf is great — until you need more expressiveness. FreeMarker is powerful — until the syntax fights you.

Reactive vs Proactive ColdFusion Support: Why Waiting for an Outage Is the Most Expensive Strategy
Many ColdFusion environments operate in a reactive mode without realizing it.
Everything seems fine… until something breaks.
A server crashes.
Performance drops suddenly.
An integration stops working.
A security audit reveals missing patches.
At that point the response is urgent:
“Can someone help us fix this now?”
Emergency support is sometimes unavoidable. But when reactive intervention becomes the norm, it usually means something deep...

Luis,
Thanks! It was a great session. I wish it could have gone 5 hours so we could finish everything you had planned. That said, I really got A LOT out of the presentation. The layout demo was great and helped me wrap my head around some of the concepts around the layout manager.
