This Tuesday the 28th we'll be bringing back the ColdBox Connection to introduce TestBox, CFML's new unit testing platform.  The show will be at Noon Central time.  TestBox is MXUnit-compatible so it's easy to get your current testing suite set up.  TestBox is also more flexible and supports the Behavior Driven Development (BDD) style of testing.  Come join us, and if you can't make it we will be recording the show.

A proper indication of the time would be nice.... but if that rather vague reference is to 12:00 CET, that's 12:00:00 +0100, right? 11:00 UTC.

Sorry for the confusion. The Connection is at Noon Central Standard Time-- That is the standard time for all our ColdBox Connections. http://www.coldbox.org/media/connection

Which is still a cute little local nickname for a time zone, not a time zone. Googling..... UTC-6? Maybe? If it's America, not any of the other places that have a centre?

Hmm, not sure if I follow you. I'm pretty certain "Central Standard Time" is the actual bonafide name of a real time zone. http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/na/cst.html
