First of all, let me apologize for a bad connection and even worse my fan in my mac blew up, so It felt like I was inside of a turbine. Anyways, the presso did not go as I planned, but hey, things happen. We will try again in about two weeks, and hopefully it will work better. For now, you can find the presentations posted up on the wiki if you would like a sneek peek. http://ortus.svnrepository.com/coldbox/trac.cgi#MediaPresentations Again, I apologize, and we will have better luck next time.

Inherited a CFML Application With Few Tests? Here’s Where to Start!
You need to change an application that has been running for years.
It might be a ColdFusion customer portal, a Lucee application supporting internal operations, or a CFML system your team is preparing to modernize. People depend on it, but some of its behavior lives in old tickets, scattered documentation, and the memory of whoever has supported it longest.
Now a release is approaching. You know more testing would help. The difficult part is deciding where to begin without putting every other priority on hold.
Start with one important workflow and build evidence around what it needs to do.

Your ColdFusion Upgrade Passed. Did Your Business Workflows?
The server restarted. The administrator shows the expected version. Your homepage loads, and a few familiar screens look fine.
Would you tell the business the upgrade is complete?
Consider an illustrative scenario: a customer submits an order after an upgrade. The application saves it and displays a confirmation page. But the confirmation email never arrives, and the scheduled process that sends the order to fulfillment has not completed.
From the browser, the transaction...

Thanks for all your effort Luis, even though the preso didn't go as planned the PDF you posted pointed out some great new features. I'm already making heavy use of the interceptors and the coldboxproxy (from Flex) and can't thank you enough for both! I had started with Flex/Coldbox and a separate common model with a transfer config but driving all the remote access through Coldbox (w/ Coldspring / Transfer and common security, logging and state management facilities) has made things MUCH easier. On the Flex side I've been really happy (and productive) using PureMVC (especially vs. trying Cairngorm).
Thanks again!

Thanks Chris!! That is great stuff!! Hopefully you can post your results on this and give people insight on the Flex/ColdBox integration.
Since this is so new, if you write something on it, I can publish it on the wiki. Thanks Chris!!
