ColdBox 3.0 Modules Contest

Create a ColdBox 3.0.0 module that is a fully functional application that can be portable for any ColdBox 3.0 application. Here are some guidelines the ColdBox team will be evaluating the module on

  • Download ColdBox

  • The code must reside on either github or a public repository so it is publicly accessible

  • The user must create a forgebox entry and submit the module code to it: http://coldbox.org/forgebox

  • The more internal libraries it uses the more points it gets: LogBox, MockBox, WireBox, CacheBox

  • The module should do something productive, no say hello modules accepted

  • Best practices on MVC separation of concerns

  • Portability

  • Documentation (You had that one coming!!) as it might need DB setup or DSN setup

  • Be creative!

  • Make sure it works!

  • Six pack of "BrewFather" beer

BoxLang 1.18.0 Released : Every Cloud, Every Node, Every Agent

Azure joins the serverless family. Scheduled tasks become cluster-safe. And the whole platform gets documentation and skills built for developers and AI agents working side by side.

If you run a technology organization, you are being asked to do three things at once: ship faster, keep the estate you already have running, and make AI part of how your teams work. Most stacks make you choose. BoxLang 1.18 is another step toward not having to.

ColdBox 8.2 Deep Dive, Part 4 of 5 : AI Routing and Gateways

We've been building AI into the core of ColdBox since 8.0, because the applications teams are asked to build have changed. They talk to models, stream answers, expose tools to other AI systems, and increasingly host agents that act on behalf of users. None of that should require bespoke plumbing in every project.
