There's 2 weeks left before ColdBox Developer Week delivers a solid week of online ColdBox-related CFML training.  We have 15 different sessions lined up and the one I'd like to feature today is "Seamless ColdBox-Powered Rich Internet Applications" by Phill Nacelli.  This session will be held at 1pm CST on Thursday, July 26th.

Here's the session description:

Seamless ColdBox-Powered Rich Internet Applications

"In this session we’ll be looking at different ways we can power Rich Internet Applications using the ColdBox Platform. We’ll explore how to use ColdBox’s built in proxy and how to extend its functionality to allow for a seamless integration between the server and the client. If you are already or is planning to work with Rich Client user interfaces like HTML5/Ajax or Flex/AIR this session will be a great addition to your toolbox. The speaker will also unveil a new CBProxy extension library he has been working on that you won’t want to miss."

And here's a bit of history on the presenter:

Phill Nacelli

He has led the engineering and development of multiple enterprise web based applications for the Federal Government, Commercial Software, and Non-Profit Association/Education markets.

BoxLang 1.17 Series Part1 : Module Inception

BoxLang 1.17 Series Part1 : Module Inception

BoxLang has always been an extensible language. As of 1.17.0, it is a hierarchically extensible one. Every module ecosystem you have worked in is flat. You declare a list of dependencies and something outside the language, a package manager or a build tool, resolves and downloads and orders them. The language itself has no opinion about the shape of the graph. It sees a list, not a tree.

Why Migrate from ColdFusion to BoxLang? 10 Reasons to Modernize Your CFML Applications
