Next week is Scotch on the Rocks and immediately following the conference we will be holding our 3 day ColdBox Training marathon. If you have not attended one of our seminars, well you should, they are intense,fun and a great way to learn. Doug Boude puts it best here in his blog: http://www.dougboude.com/blog/1/2009/11/Coldbox-101-Training-Review.cfm

If you are doing Coldbox development and you have not attended Luis' Coldbox 101 training class, I guarantee you that what you are writing is not all that it could be. It won't be architected as well as it could be, it won't be leveraging all of the shortcuts and features that it could be, and it won't be top of the line. That isn't to say that you aren't capable of writing a good Coldbox app, but without the in-depth understandings that this class offers, your app will very likely not be a great Coldbox app.

If you are serious about writing solid, load-bearing apps in Coldbox, do this for yourself: attend Coldbox 101 training.

We still got a few seats left and we close registration this FRIDAY!!  So hurry and book your seat today: http://coldbox-uk.eventbrite.com/?discount=vivaUK

12 days of BoxLang - Day 3: SocketBox!

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.
