For the last 3 years, Ortus Solutions has put on a week-long online training extravaganza called ColdBox Developers Week, or CBDW.  These are completely free webinars that you can watch from the comfort of your home or office, and the best part is they're ALL RECORDED for your belated viewing pleasure.  Obviously we've grown to more than ColdBox despite the name  You can expect to learn about ContentBox, our modular CMS; CommandBox, our CLI, REPL, and embedded CF server; or our sweet Lucee Couchbase cache extension.  

This year CBDW will be held the entire week of November 16-20th.  We're still finalizing the schedule, but we'll most likely have 4 webinars a day between 9am and 4pm Pacific time. We're also working on a collection of raffles and door prizes to give away, so please mark your calendars now.  

We'll have signups for the actual sessions later on once the schedule is tightened up.  If you'd like to present on a cool topic that relates to a Box library, please feel out this form here and we'll get in touch.

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 : BoxSet is Here: BoxLang's New First-Class Set Type

BoxLang 1.14.0 : BoxSet is Here: BoxLang's New First-Class Set Type

BoxLang 1.14.0 ships something that JVM developers have wanted for a long time: a true first-class Set type baked directly into the language. Not a wrapper you reach for manually, not a createObject( "java", "java.util.HashSet" ) incantation you paste from a Stack Overflow answer years ago. A real BoxSet with literal syntax, operator overloads, a full functional pipeline, change listeners, JSON serialization, and deep Java interop.
