3 sessions related to ContentBox. Getting started with ContentBox 101, Headless CMS and then deploying to the cloud.

Daniel Garcia - ContentBox 101

This session will give you an introduction to ContentBox CMS, what it is, what can you do with it, and why you should consider ContentBox for your next ColdFusion/CFML project. ContentBox is a professional open source (Apache 2 License) modular content management engine that allows you to easily build websites, blogs, wikis, complex web applications, and RESTFul web services. It can also be used as a full Headless CMS or a hybrid CMS. Built with a secure and flexible modular core, designed to scale, and combined with world-class support, ContentBox will get your projects out the door in no time. ContentBox CMS can be deployed to any ColdFusion/CFML engine or any Java Servlet Container.

Esmeralda Acevedo and Javier Quintero - Off with their heads - ContentBox 5 - Headless CMS

ContentBox is a Headless CMS, which means the admin can live on it's own, and you can create your own site, accessing the data via API. This session explains Headless CMS and shows it in action.

12 days of BoxLang - Day 3: SocketBox!

As BoxLang continues evolving into a modern, high-performance, JVM-based runtime, real-time communication becomes essential for the applications we all want to build: dashboards, collaboration tools, notifications, live feeds, multiplayer features, and more.
