Spread the word


Share your thoughts

I got word today that I could post this story, so here it is. NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory has adopted ColdBox for their web application development on several projects. This is very good news for the ColdBox and ColdFusion community as more and more companies are adopting ColdBox as their framework and software toolkit.Another announcement is that two books are in the works. I have started to compose a definitive guide and a pocket reference guide. This will be part of a corporate training package that I will be planning to offer for 2008. So companies can benefit from physical training materials as ColdBox moves into the POSS (Professional Open Source Software) arena. The books will be self-published via on-demand. However, if you are a publisher or know of a publisher that would be interested in creating these training materials with me, please contact me offline at lmajano@ortussolutions.com. As 2.5.0 reaches completion, more and more success stories will be posted. Also a new section in the wiki has been created to showcase companies, applications and websites that are using ColdBox technology. So if you are interested in showing up your company, website or application built on ColdBox, then please submit it to this post, the google mailing list or info@coldboxframework.com. There are only two guides left for update before a final release of ColdBox 2.5.0 becomes a reality. So stay tuned as a release could happen any day now.

That's great news! There is a 'rocket science' joke in there somewhere....

I guess NASA does things right sometimes.

And of course the lame joke about how this news is going to 'propel' Coldbox to the next level.

Sorry.

Congrats, Luis!

MatchBox and WebAssembly: Running BoxLang in the Browser and at the Edge

MatchBox and WebAssembly: Running BoxLang in the Browser and at the Edge

The MatchBox open beta is live at https://boxlang.ortusbooks.com/boxlang-framework/matchbox, and it brings something genuinely new to the BoxLang ecosystem: a path into WebAssembly.

That means BoxLang code can now move into browser applications, static-site deployments, edge runtimes, and WASI-style containers - without requiring a JVM. The feature is still beta, but the core direction is already useful: write BoxLang, compile it with MatchBox, and ship the generated WASM artifact to wherever a small portable runtime makes sense.

BoxLang 1.14.0 : Navigate Anything: JSONPath Comes to BoxLang's DataNavigator

BoxLang 1.14.0 : Navigate Anything: JSONPath Comes to BoxLang's DataNavigator

Every application eventually has to deal with deeply nested data. JSON API responses with payloads six levels deep. Configuration files where the key you need is buried inside an array of objects, one of which has a null for the field you thought was required. Module metadata structures that nobody wrote a schema for. Runtime introspection data shaped like a tree that grew without a plan.
