ColdBox Platform Ref CardWe are pleased to announce our release of the ColdBox LITE Ref Card.  It is available in PDF form so you can view it in the browser, or download it to any mobile/reader device for later reference.  Of course, it's only a few pages long so you can print it out and keep it at your desk.

Download Here!

We have several more Ref Cards planned over the next few months.  They aim to be 4-6 page introductions to the family of ColdBox libraries that give you a high-level overview of what that library does and how to get started using it.  We won't cover every feature-- just the basics to get you started.  The ColdBox LITE Ref Card covers what an MVC framework is, how to download and install ColdBox LITE and gets you started creating your first app.

The ref cards are available freely to download and are hosted on our official GitHub repo and we encourage you to share them with any coworkers or friends who you think might benefit from an intro to ColdBox LITE.  If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to E-mail us.  Also, a special shout-out to Richard McKenna for designing the layout for us.

Keep your eyes open for these additional Ref Cards coming soon:

  • WireBox Ref Card
  • WireBox AOP Ref Card
  • CacheBox Ref Card
  • LogBox Ref Card
  • MockBox Ref Card
  • ColdBox ORM Ref Card
  • ContentBox Ref Card

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.
