Brad Wood will be giving a presentation on our newest Ortus project CommandBox this Thursday to Charlie Arehart's Online ColdFusion Meetup.  The session will be noon US Eastern and like all Online CF Meetups, will be recorded.

Topic Description:

CommandBox is a standalone, native tool for Windows, Mac, and Linux that will provide you with a Command Line Interface (CLI) for developer productivity, tool interaction, package management, embedded CFML server, application scaffolding, and some sweet ASCII art. It seamlessly integrates to work with any of the *Box products but it is also open for extensibility for any ColdFusion (CFML) project as it is also written in ColdFusion (CFML) using our concepts of CommandBox Commands.

CommandBox also functions as a package management tool which integrates seamlessly with ForgeBox, our community of ColdFusion (CFML) projects, but can also integrate with git,svn,http, ftp and many more code endpoints. Come learn about one of the coolest tools for CFML in years and how it can help your everyday productivity. 

You can find more info here at the official event page.  We hope to see you there!

ColdFusion Modernization for UK Universities Without Downtime

Across the United Kingdom, many universities still rely on legacy ColdFusion and CFML systems to power student portals, enrollment platforms, research databases, payment gateways, and internal academic workflows.

These systems are often:

  • 15 to 25 years old
