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.

Regretably Michael's site is down for rework... but the message says relaunch Real Soon Now.
I worked through the first five installments and I believe it's worth going back there till it is back on line. Good step-by-step, good foundation, MORE, MICHAEL, MORE!
Can't wait for installment six, and for the rest of the community, for the site to be back on the air.
HEY LOUIS, could you talk to Michael about hosting the tut's as like a mirror? You could stay one tut behind him so folks would still go to his site for the latest, but could get a taste from your site if/when his is down?

That is a very good idea orc,
I will definitely mention it to Michael, to see if he agrees.
Well, I guess he would read this? Michael?

Luis,
Do you know of any other tutorials? The link above doesn't work anymore.

Luis,
I was wondering if your book has step-by-step on how to build a fully functional Coldbox application?
