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 :)

BoxLang 1.18.0 Released : Every Cloud, Every Node, Every Agent

Azure joins the serverless family. Scheduled tasks become cluster-safe. And the whole platform gets documentation and skills built for developers and AI agents working side by side.

If you run a technology organization, you are being asked to do three things at once: ship faster, keep the estate you already have running, and make AI part of how your teams work. Most stacks make you choose. BoxLang 1.18 is another step toward not having to.

ColdBox 8.2 Deep Dive, Part 4 of 5 : AI Routing and Gateways

We've been building AI into the core of ColdBox since 8.0, because the applications teams are asked to build have changed. They talk to models, stream answers, expose tools to other AI systems, and increasingly host agents that act on behalf of users. None of that should require bespoke plumbing in every project.
