June 1st was (Inter)?National Regular Expression day celebrated the world over.  Regular Expressions are something I have just a base knowledge of and was on my goals to learn in 2010, so I tried my hand at the contest by Ben Nadel.  And through the power of complete randomness, I won.

Mastering Regular Expressions

So, thanks Ben for sending me  Mastering Regular Expressions by Jeffrey E.F. Friedl and O'Reilly Media.  I am enjoying the book so far and it was a great birthday present as it arrived just on time.  I look forward to becoming a RegEx Master.

Heck yeah :) I hope you like the book. I haven't read this one personally, so I am excited to hear what you have to say about it when you get to it. And as always, thanks for making RegEx day so much fun :)

CommandBox: A Smarter Foundation for BoxLang and CFML Workflows

In day-to-day development, some tools simply do their job… and others quietly change the way you work. CommandBox falls into the second category.

It doesn’t replace your editor, framework, or existing applications. Instead, it becomes the common ground where CFML and BoxLang development meet ,giving teams a consistent, reliable way to build, run, and evolve their projects.
