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 :)

TestBox 7.2 Real Browser Testing, Smarter Reports, and Agent-Ready Results

Ortus Solutions today announces the general availability of TestBox 7.2, the biggest TestBox release in years. Built on the new bx-playwright 1.0 module, BoxLang specs can now drive a real browser, assert with web-first matchers that wait until they pass, and keep the screenshots, traces and videos of every failure. Around it, TestBox gains spec retries, a Run Failed option, a rebuilt set of HTML reporters with Ask AI on every failure, and a new Agent reporter that lets AI agents read a test run at minimal token cost.
