The Conference-Edition podcast aims to provide a one-of-a-kind insight on Into the Box 2020. This episode was no exception as our host, Gavin Pickin, talked more about the famous Zero to Hero workshop. 

In this workshop, “[we’re] going to show you how Ortus Solutions builds applications. We're going to show you some great tools for like using CommandBox to scaffold out your app, using CommandBox and ForgeBox, our package manager to install some great modules. So, you'll learn about CBSecurity. We look at CBGuard, we'll be using qb and we'll mention a little bit about Quick (ORM) as well, but we're going to teach you about all these modules that we use to make our life easier and you will become a superhero because you can use all these great modules and save yourself time by doing it the right way.”

The purpose of this session is to provide a complete understanding of the ColdBox framework. It will give attendees the opportunity to learn how to work with it, manage it, and solve any problems they may encounter. Moreover, it will show them how configurable it really is. At the end of the day, the attendee will be able to build ColdBox applications. 

As evidenced above, this two- day workshop is a great opportunity to maneuver the ColdFusion world through the ColdBox framework. If interested, make sure to sign up on our website! Don’t forget, the full episode is on our Youtube channel, our website, and your podcast provider.

MatchBox and WebAssembly: Running BoxLang in the Browser and at the Edge

MatchBox and WebAssembly: Running BoxLang in the Browser and at the Edge

The MatchBox open beta is live at https://boxlang.ortusbooks.com/boxlang-framework/matchbox, and it brings something genuinely new to the BoxLang ecosystem: a path into WebAssembly.

That means BoxLang code can now move into browser applications, static-site deployments, edge runtimes, and WASI-style containers - without requiring a JVM. The feature is still beta, but the core direction is already useful: write BoxLang, compile it with MatchBox, and ship the generated WASM artifact to wherever a small portable runtime makes sense.

BoxLang 1.14.0 : BoxSet is Here: BoxLang's New First-Class Set Type

BoxLang 1.14.0 : BoxSet is Here: BoxLang's New First-Class Set Type

BoxLang 1.14.0 ships something that JVM developers have wanted for a long time: a true first-class Set type baked directly into the language. Not a wrapper you reach for manually, not a createObject( "java", "java.util.HashSet" ) incantation you paste from a Stack Overflow answer years ago. A real BoxSet with literal syntax, operator overloads, a full functional pipeline, change listeners, JSON serialization, and deep Java interop.

BoxLang 1.14.0 : Sets, Ranges, Inner Classes, and a Runtime That Talks Back

BoxLang 1.14.0 : Sets, Ranges, Inner Classes, and a Runtime That Talks Back

BoxLang has never stood still, but 1.14.0 is something different. This is the release where the language stops filling gaps and starts defining what a modern dynamic JVM language looks like on its own terms. Sixty-five issues closed. Four innovative language features. A formatter that has grown up. And a companion module - bx-mcp - that fundamentally changes how you operate a running BoxLang application with AI.
