Today we’re celebrating one of the most exciting new additions to the BoxLang ecosystem:
the TestBox BoxLang CLI Runner — a fast, native way to run your TestBox tests directly through the BoxLang Runtime. ⚡
No server required. No CommandBox needed. Just pure, ultra-fast BoxLang-powered testing from the command lineon Windows, Mac, and Linux.
If you’re building modern applications with BoxLang — web apps, CLIs, serverless functions, Android apps, or OS-level utilities — this new feature gives you a unified, flexible testing workflow you can run anywhere.
As BoxLang continues evolving into a modern, high-performance, JVM-based runtime, real-time communication becomes essential for the applications we all want to build: dashboards, collaboration tools, notifications, live feeds, multiplayer features, and more.
That’s where SocketBox steps in — the WebSocket upgrade listener built to work seamlessly with CommandBox and the BoxLang MiniServer. ⚡
Today, for Day 3, we’re highlighting how SocketBox supercharges BoxLang development by giving you fast, flexible, and framework-agnostic WebSocket capabilities.
BoxLang + CommandBox: The Enterprise Engine Behind Your Deployments

How about a discount on it for those of use that already ordered (and received) the hard copy? BTW, my book arrived very quickly. I ordered it the morning after it was announced.

The ebook is 39.99, but I still don't know how to offer discounts under the ebook system. Once I do, if they offer discounts, I could honor them. However, I have no control over it now.

This is really good news, I would still like a hard copy so may wait until I can get it from the UK Amazon store, but thanks for this option. :)

Hi Luis, Thank you for the book. I have a few questions: 1. If I purchase the eBook now and a discount code is available later can I claim it? 2. When version 3 is available as an eBook, will people who bought this one get a discount? 3. If I buy this book can I use the version 3 of the framework or it will jut confuse me? Thanks

Mike once I get the ability to offer discount codes I will blog about it and you must send me the original invoice and I will honor the discount. As for discounts for version 3 the same will apply. However as of now I am still waiting to see if it is possible on the ebook versions. Version 3 is a progression of the platform and still in active development. The core concepts remain the same. The differences can be seen in the compatibility guide. However I say that 85-90% of 2.6 applies to version 3.
