We are proud to announce that all of the ColdBox sample applications have been updated for the upcoming ColdBox 3.0 release. Sample applications are important as they increase the speed of entry into any development related task.

Give me a good sample and I can adopt it to my needs and be well on my way to learning the concept.

We believe so much in them, that there are over 20 of them covering a number of different techniques and tasks for ColdBox.

You can download the latest versions of our sample applications for ColdBox from http://github.com/ColdBox/coldbox-samples

Here is a quick run down of the sample applications.

This is a port of the actual application. It is by far specifically designed for ColdBox. It might contain unusual or redundant code.

Mike,

Not sure who was planning on doing that. If I get some time I will look at creating it. Looks like a nice way to compare some of the frameworks.

Hi Mike,

We never did a litepost one as we have our series of simpleblog. So I don't have it as a priority unless somebody contributes it.

Your Development Team Is at Capacity. Here’s How to Keep Critical Work Moving!

The problem is not that your team lacks priorities.It is that maintenance, delivery, and long-term improvement are competing for the same people.

For companies running business-critical CFML, ColdFusion, or BoxLang applications, that pressure can be especially difficult to solve. Experienced developers are not always easy to hire quickly, application knowledge may be concentrated in one or two people, and a generalist may need significant context before taking ownership of the work. A permanent hire can also require a significant investment in recruiting, compensation, onboarding, and long-term capacity even when the immediate need is a specific project, urgent maintenance, or a period of transition.

Copy of BoxLang AI 3.4 Blog Series Part 5 : Reasoning Without the Guesswork

Reasoning-capable models have been usable in BoxLang AI for a while. params passes straight through to the provider body, so params: { thinking: { type: "enabled", budget_tokens: 10000 } } for Claude, or params: { reasoning_effort: "high" } for OpenAI, already reached the API. What never worked was reading the reasoning back. It was parsed out on arrival and silently dropped. In 3.4.0, that's fixed, and it's fixed the same way for every provider.
