As we're recovering from our third annual ColdBox Developers Week, we'd like to give a shout out of thanks to everyone who participated.  From our sponsors, to the speakers and the attendees; everyone helped play a part in making these 21 training sessions fun and informative.  We hope everyone had as much fun learning as we did putting this on.

Prizes

Thanks to our sponsors, Ortus Solutions and Computer Know How, we had tons of prizes to give away. Here's a recap of the winners.  Congratulations!

Furthermore, we offered additional prizes to the first two people to submit new packages to ForgeBox-- CFML's newest and most comprehensive code repository.  The following two people stepped up:

Recordings

The most common question I've gotten is, "Was this session recorded?"  The answer is, YES!  Every session including our special guest session by Gert Franz of Railo was recorded and is posted along with the slide decks over on the CBDW 2014 recording page.

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.
