Ortus Solutions is proud to announce that one of our newest steps in our Modernize or Die ® movement, announced at Into the Box 2019, is now launched. The Modernize or Die Podcast CFML News Edition has been launched and is now available online, on youtube, and in your favorite Podcast player.

For your hosts, you will get the pick of the litter with these two. Gavin, a Kiwi, and Andrew a redneck, bringing you the latest and greatest CFML News. You'll also see a few of the other Ortus team members drop in from time to time. Gavin is a member of the Ortus Team and Andrew is a solid CFML Community Member, trying to do what they can to improve the CFML community.

Gavin and Andrew will do their best to keep you up to date on everything ColdFusion related. Events, Engine updates and releases, Frameworks Tools and Module releases, the best quality blog posts, tweets and videos from the community as well as the ForgeBox module of the Week and the VS Code Hint Tip and Trick of the week. The goal is to keep it short and sweet, but there is a lot of news right now, so we're averaging about 20 minutes.

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.
