We were planning on releasing the videos on Dec 24th, but we couldn't wait any longer.

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.

ColdBox 8.2.0: Middleware, Streaming, AI Gateways, and a Whole Lot More

ColdBox 8.2.0 is the result of work we started in March. Several of its headline features, including route-scoped middleware and Server-Sent Events, were incubated for months before shipping. We held them back on purpose: we wanted the APIs settled, the edge cases covered, and the testing story complete before asking you to build on them. They're ready now.

Assert Like You Mean It, TestBox 7.1 Part 1: Set Expectations

Assert Like You Mean It, TestBox 7.1 Part 1: Set Expectations

If you have ever tested that two collections contain "the same stuff, order doesn't matter," you already know the workaround: sort both arrays, compare them element by element, and hope nobody adds a duplicate. It works, but it isn't what you meant to write. You meant "these are the same set."

Is Your QA Process Ready for Your Next ColdFusion or BoxLang Release?

Is Your QA Process Ready for Your Next ColdFusion or BoxLang Release?

As applications continue to evolve, QA can easily become reactive. Teams may test late in the development process, focus only on happy-path scenarios, repeat manual checks, or rely on AI-generated changes without fully validating the results. ​ These gaps can create risks that are not always visible until they affect users, disrupt operations, or require costly fixes in production.
