## Workshop 1: BoxLang from Zero to Hero **A Complete Journey into Modern CFML Development with BoxLang** **Instructor:** Brad Wood **Level:** Beginner to Intermediate If you’re new to BoxLang or looking for a structured way to understand how it fits into modern CFML development, this workshop is the perfect place to start. **BoxLang from Zero to Hero** will guide attendees through the language, runtime, tooling, and real-world development patterns that make BoxLang a powerful option for developers modernizing their applications. This workshop is ideal for CFML or Java developers who want to modernize their stack, understand where BoxLang fits, and gain hands-on experience with the language and ecosystem. ### What You’ll Explore - BoxLang syntax and core language features - Runtime features and modern development tools - CLI tools and local development workflows - Modules and reusable code patterns - Functional programming concepts - Async operations - Java interoperability - Web development patterns - Migration strategies from traditional CFML - Hands-on labs and real-world examples By the end of the day, you’ll have a stronger understanding of how BoxLang works, where it can fit into your projects, and how it can support modernization without leaving behind the applications and skills your team already relies on.

The real challenge is understanding how to bring AI into existing applications in a way that is practical, maintainable, secure, flexible, and not locked into one provider or one workflow. That is exactly what the **BoxLang AI Bootcamp from Zero to Hero** is built to help developers solve. This hands-on, one-day workshop introduces participants to building AI-driven applications using BoxLang’s native AI module. BoxLang provides a unified, fluent API to work with multiple LLM providers, helping developers avoid the complexity of each provider’s SDKs, formats, and workflows. Instead of spending your time fighting provider-specific integrations, you’ll learn how to focus on the actual features your applications need.

These systems cannot simply be replaced every time a new technology trend appears. BoxLang AI gives CFML and JVM developers a practical path forward. With BoxLang’s AI module, developers can work with multiple AI providers through a unified API, build chat interactions, create tools, define pipelines, work with agents, use memory, and integrate AI-powered functionality directly into real applications. ### Real Problems BoxLang AI Helps Solve - Reducing provider-specific AI integration complexity - Avoiding lock-in to a single AI provider or SDK - Adding AI features to existing applications without a full rewrite - Creating smarter internal tools and developer workflows - Automating repetitive processes - Building AI-powered assistants for teams or users - Generating, summarizing, and analyzing content - Extracting structured data from unstructured inputs - Improving application search and knowledge workflows - Supporting modernization efforts across CFML and JVM-based systems This workshop is not about AI hype. It is about learning how to build practical AI features that solve real problems. For CFML teams, it also shows how BoxLang can help bridge existing skills and applications with modern JVM-based development and AI-powered workflows. ## What You’ll Learn in the BoxLang AI Bootcamp By the end of the bootcamp, participants will be able to: - Understand BoxLang’s AI module architecture and design principles - Configure and use multiple AI providers through a unified API - Build chat interactions and asynchronous AI calls - Work with options, parameters, roles, return formats, and responses - Explore multi-modal inputs and provider switching - Create `aiTool()` functions with structured inputs and outputs - Understand tool safety and how to integrate tools into chats - Build AI pipelines using runnable interfaces, contexts, transformers, and chained steps - Understand agents, memory concepts, tool usage, and orchestration patterns - Integrate AI functionality into BoxLang applications effectively and efficiently This is a practical workshop for developers who want to understand how AI can actually fit into their applications, not just in theory, but in real implementation. ## Who Should Attend? These workshops are designed for developers and teams who want to build, modernize, and experiment with confidence. They are a great fit for: - CFML developers looking to modernize their applications - ColdFusion developers exploring what comes next - Java and JVM developers interested in BoxLang - Engineers looking to integrate AI with less boilerplate - Technical leads evaluating how AI fits into modular JVM systems - Teams exploring BoxLang adoption - Developers who want practical, hands-on training before CFCamp begins - Anyone interested in learning how to build AI-driven applications using BoxLang If your team has been talking about modernization, AI, or “we should really look into BoxLang,” this is the moment to do it. ## Prerequisites for the BoxLang AI Bootcamp To get the most out of the AI Bootcamp, attendees should come prepared with: - BVM or the latest BoxLang installed - VS Code IDE with the BoxLang module - API keys for at least one AI provider: - OpenAI - Claude - OpenRouter - Docker installed Docker will be useful for: - Running a standalone Ollama server - Running vector databases ## Ticket Options: Solo, Duo, and Trio Packs Whether you’re attending individually or bringing your team, we have ticket options designed to make it easier to join. Ticket sales end on **June 16, 2026**, so now is the time to reserve your spot before the pre-conference day arrives. ### Solo Pass — $499 Perfect for individual developers looking to get hands-on with BoxLang and AI workflows in a focused, interactive training experience.
