I had the privilege of presenting at the Boston CFUG last night on the glories of ColdBox. I was cordially invited by mi friend Brian Rinaldi, so first of all, thank you very much Brian for inviting me to speak. It was a very cool presentation showcasing all of the 2.6.0 features, the methodologies behind it and some very cool examples. I showcased a flex app talking to a coldbox application and using the coldbox debugger, being able to monitor and see the data coming in and out of both technologies. Granted my charting blew up (TEST TEST TEST), but overall, it was a great presentation. The presentation recording has been added to the presentations and media section of the wiki or you can launch it here.

BoxLang 1.17 Series Part 4 : WriteDump Enhanced!
You call writeDump() on an ORM entity or a very rich class graph . The browser locks up. Thirty seconds later you get a page with forty thousand rows on it, you scroll for a while, you give up, and you go edit your code to dump a sub-key instead. Or worse, you crash the server.

BoxLang AI 3.4 Blog Series Part 4 : Locking Down Prompt Injection
LLM applications face a class of attack traditional input validation was never built for: prompt injection. An attacker embeds instructions in user input, a retrieved document, a web page your tool fetched, or an MCP result, trying to override your system prompt, exfiltrate data, or hijack a tool call. BoxLang AI 3.4.0 ships four layered, configurable defenses against exactly this, plus one more that's on unconditionally.

Great preso, Luis. I don't know how much you could sense over Connect, but people were very impressed. Even Adobe's own Steven Erat, who was at the meeting (which was held at the Adobe HQ in Newton MA), had favorable things to say.
