This is our first ColdBox Boot Camp in the DC area thanks to RIACON 2012.  Boy are we excited: http://coldbox-riacon.eventbrite.com?ref=elink.This boot camp is taking place right after RIACON 2012 on August 8th, 9th and 10th.

We will be doing CBOX 100 that concentrates on core ColdBox and MVC basics, and CBOX204 which concentrates on testing, unit testing, TDD, best practices, mocking and more.

Want to go to both courses? We want to make that happen so we will offer you a specially priced Boot Camp Bundle: http://coldbox-riacon.eventbrite.com?ref=elink. It is not in our nature to stop there so if you do bundle the courses then we will give you your choice of either an Apple iPod Shuffle or a $50 Apple iTunes gift card.

MatchBox and WebAssembly: Running BoxLang in the Browser and at the Edge

MatchBox and WebAssembly: Running BoxLang in the Browser and at the Edge

The MatchBox open beta is live at https://boxlang.ortusbooks.com/boxlang-framework/matchbox, and it brings something genuinely new to the BoxLang ecosystem: a path into WebAssembly.

That means BoxLang code can now move into browser applications, static-site deployments, edge runtimes, and WASI-style containers - without requiring a JVM. The feature is still beta, but the core direction is already useful: write BoxLang, compile it with MatchBox, and ship the generated WASM artifact to wherever a small portable runtime makes sense.

BoxLang 1.14.0 : BoxSet is Here: BoxLang's New First-Class Set Type

BoxLang 1.14.0 : BoxSet is Here: BoxLang's New First-Class Set Type

BoxLang 1.14.0 ships something that JVM developers have wanted for a long time: a true first-class Set type baked directly into the language. Not a wrapper you reach for manually, not a createObject( "java", "java.util.HashSet" ) incantation you paste from a Stack Overflow answer years ago. A real BoxSet with literal syntax, operator overloads, a full functional pipeline, change listeners, JSON serialization, and deep Java interop.
