Workshop Description

This 2 day workshop will walk us through creating a Quiz Game app with a ColdBox REST API backend and a VueJS Application, written in the Quasar Framework.

We will start with the concept, design our database, plan our API, write some tests, build our API, create our Quasar Framework App, and write some VueJS to hit those API Endpoints.

We'll tie in CBSecurity, Resourceful Routes, OpenAPI Swagger Documentation, Validation on the API side. We will use Vue-Router, Vuex, Axios, Vue Valiation and the Quasar Framework to build our interactive and modern front end. The end result will be a modern application, with all the tools you need to start creating your own.

This Quiz game will have a real-world use case, as it brings back to life an old ColdFusion / ColdBox concept, delivered in a fresh new way.

BoxLang AI 3.4 Blog Series Part 3 : Batched Approvals

Here's a bug that's easy to miss until it bites someone in production: an agent turn asks for two tool calls at once, both need human approval, and only the first one actually suspends. The second one gets silently skipped. Not rejected, not queued, just gone. That's what happened before 3.4.0, and it's fixed now with batched tool-call approvals.

Getting Started with BoxLang as an Alternative CFML Engine

Getting Started with BoxLang as an Alternative CFML Engine

If you have an existing ColdFusion or Lucee application, one of the first questions you may have about BoxLang is probably not:

“Should I rewrite my application in BoxLang?”

It is much simpler:

“Can BoxLang run the CFML application I already have?”

That was the focus of veteran CFML troubleshooter Charlie Arehart’s session at Into the Box 2026, Getting Started with BoxLang as an Alternative CFML Engine.
