Into the Box 2020 can’t come soon enough! To prepare, we asked our speakers to share a little bit more about their lives and experiences so that we can get to know them better…
 
Meet Colombian Javier Quintero. When he was a child, he waited in line for almost two hours to get into a roller coaster and when it was his turn, he got scared and left! The Ortus developer is a fan of all things Box, but his favorite without a doubt, is ColdBox. When asked why he responded: “It has everything we need to develop any type of app. Everything is inbuilt and it has great performance. So easy to learn, very flexible and adaptable to meet our needs.” 
 
Javier will be leading the “Just Do It! ColdBox Integration Testing” session on May 7th from 3:10 PM until 4:00 PM and the “cbSecurity - Secure All Things Box!” session on May 8th from 3:10 PM until 4:00 PM. Make sure you don’t miss his sessions as they are not only relevant, but also key for any developer. As to why, he said: “believe it or not, more than 50% of developers don't write tests because they think they are complex and will take forever to implement. I will show how to easily create unit and integration tests using TestBox.” 
 
Into the Box will give attendees the opportunity to chat with speakers one-on-one. Javier is looking forward “to learning new stuff and have nice conversations about CFML and web development in general with the attendees that always have something  of value to share.”

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.
