12 Days of BoxLang - Day 4: TestBox
Today we’re celebrating one of the most exciting new additions to the BoxLang ecosystem:
the TestBox BoxLang CLI Runner — a fast, native way to run your TestBox tests directly through the BoxLang Runtime. ⚡
No server required. No CommandBox needed. Just pure, ultra-fast BoxLang-powered testing from the command lineon Windows, Mac, and Linux.
If you’re building modern applications with BoxLang — web apps, CLIs, serverless functions, Android apps, or OS-level utilities — this new feature gives you a unified, flexible testing workflow you can run anywhere.

12 days of BoxLang - Day 3: SocketBox!
As BoxLang continues evolving into a modern, high-performance, JVM-based runtime, real-time communication becomes essential for the applications we all want to build: dashboards, collaboration tools, notifications, live feeds, multiplayer features, and more.
That’s where SocketBox steps in — the WebSocket upgrade listener built to work seamlessly with CommandBox and the BoxLang MiniServer. ⚡
Today, for Day 3, we’re highlighting how SocketBox supercharges BoxLang development by giving you fast, flexible, and framework-agnostic WebSocket capabilities.

Luis, Great Preso last night.. I'm looking forward to playing with CB more in the coming weeks.. I downloaded last nights' RC 2 release and launched the dashboard .. in the docs you have the default password to coldbox but I'm not able to login.. I have ColdBox directory sitting on C:inetpubframeworkscoldbox (with cf mapping to that directory) and the dashboard in the C:inetpubwwwrootdashboard folder.. any help would be greatly appreaciated.. Thanks...

HI Phil, That should be the password. However, you can manually change it by do the following: Open the config/settings.xml.cfm and locate the password hash. You can change the hash by using the hash method in CF and the "SHA-384" algorithm So try it out.

I second the comments. It was an amazing presentation of a framework, I almost passed up. I will be definitely be installing it and giving it a whirl. It seems to solve some of my issues with MG and seems easier to have an easier learning curve (especially with your documentation OCD). Thanks for all the hard work.

Hi Luis, Nice presentation.... Is it possible if you do a more advance level of presentation, to cover caching, interceptors, decorator, coldboxproxy. ColdBox documentation is too good. Again thanks for all your hard work and offering incredible toolkit ( coldbox ). Many Thanks
