We have now released version 2.1 of the ColdBox Platform Utilities extension for ColdFusion Builder. This version brings new application templates that are ColdBox 3.0.0 M6 compatible and ready. We have also introduced a new application template called SuperSimple that is nothing but MVC and well, super simple. So enjoy!
The super simple template has bare bones MVC. Very simple to use, no pesky inheritance, pure conventions. So hopefully for those naysayers that say that ColdBox is sooo big. Nope, our core is conventions and we do it well my friends!
Let's look at the handler:
Can't get easier than that! Hope you enjoy the template..svg)

In what way is this super simple? Is it just that there is less mark-up in the code/templates? That appears to be the main difference between the Advanced template or Super Simple templates.

@brad, It has plain MVC only without all other concerns activated so you can get rid of some cruft if you are learning.

@Luis Thanks, but can you please briefly explain how the handlers have access to some inherent functions in Coldbox, i.e. getPlugin and getSetting when they don't extend anything?

All this is in the documentation Brad. The short version is that we decorate the objects at runtime, mixins of methods and state, once the handler is requested for the very first time. Luis
