Are you ready to enter the exciting world of app building? In today's world, 60% of people are viewing your website on a mobile phone most sites are hard to navigate.  People constantly have to scrolling around and zoom in and out to get all the information. The first option is to make a responsive site which will help but in squishing all your content down into a smaller screen, you lose a lot of the design aspects you spent all your time working on. 

What about a mobile app? Well that's just way too expensive to create, and plus you have to know Objective-C (or Swift) and Java.... Well thanks to some help from our friends at Ionic Framework now you too can create a mobile app without having to learn new languages. Now you can fully customize your user's experience on your site, plus use all of the functionality that is available to the phone. You can easily integrate popular plugins such as the Camera, Geolocation, Contacts, Bluetooth, TouchID, Accelerometer, and much more...

In my Webinar on March 30th I will give a quick overview of Ionic Framework and the Ionic Ecosystem, create a ContentBox REST API, and build an Ionic App that will pull live data from the ContentBox API to display pages and blog posts.

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.
