From Legacy Risk to Modern Agility: A Phased Modernization Roadmap for CFML Teams
Many organizations running CFML applications today face the same challenge.
Their systems still work.
They support core business processes.
They generate revenue.
But at the same time, those platforms are increasingly exposed to risk.
Unsupported runtimes, operational fragility, security exposure, and difficulty integrating with modern systems are becoming more common in environments still running older versions of Adobe ColdFusion or Lucee.

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. What if you could write templates in a dynamic JVM language that gives you the full power of the platform, feels natural, and requires zero setup to integrate?

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