JWT authentication is everywhere. But rolling it correctly — with proper algorithm enforcement, key management, clock skew handling, JWE encryption, and zero security footguns — is anything but trivial. Today, we're shipping bx-jwt, a production-ready JWT/JWE module for BoxLang that handles all of it out of the box, so you can focus on building, not fighting cryptography.
“Modernize or Die” is not about forcing teams into MVC, chasing trends, or rewriting every CFML application from scratch. It means making sure your applications, teams, and processes can survive the future: easier to maintain, test, secure, deploy, document, hire for, and evolve. In 2026, modernization is less about adopting the newest pattern and more about reducing business risk, protecting the value already built into your systems, and ensuring CFML applications remain credible, sustai...
AI is everywhere right now, but for many development teams, the biggest question is no longer “What is AI?” it’s “How do we actually use it in real applications in a secure, practical, and maintainable way?”

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.

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.
