What's in the Agenda?

Here’s a look at what you can expect — categorized by key topics to help you plan your learning journey, there’s something for everyone covering modern CFML tools and BoxLang:

BoxLang for Modern Developers

If you're ready to embrace the next era of development, these sessions are for you:

  • Getting Started with BoxLang – A beginner-friendly session to kick things off
  • What’s New with BoxLang – Dive into features, updates, and real-world use cases
  • BoxLang IDE – A look at tooling designed to boost productivity
  • BoxLang + AWS Lambda – Learn how to go serverless with ease
  • Powering Desktop Apps with BoxLang – Going beyond the web
  • Advanced Cryptography in ColdFusion with BoxLang – Security in focus

Why it matters: BoxLang is designed to bridge the past and the future — giving CFML devs a modern, extensible runtime while opening new doors in cloud-native and multi-platform development.


Modern CFML Development & Tooling

From security to CI/CD and real-time features, we’ve got your back:

  • Passkeys and cbSecurity
  • CommandBox WebSockets
  • JWT, cbSSO, and Authentication
  • CI/CD with GitHub and GitLab
  • Let’s Encrypt + CommandBox
  • FusionReactor Hidden Gems for BoxLang, ACF, and Lucee

Why it matters: Today’s CFML developer isn’t just writing code — you're securing, deploying, monitoring, and scaling. These talks will help you stay competitive and current.


AI, APIs, and User Interfaces

Want to integrate smarter features or build intuitive front-ends?

  • OpenAI API Integrations
  • GSAP for UI Animations
  • Atomic Design and Scalable Interfaces
  • CBWire + AlpineJS

Why it matters: Modern apps demand both power and polish. These sessions blend creativity with practical implementation so your apps look great and feel intelligent.


Legacy, Testing, and Performance

Transform your existing apps and write cleaner, more reliable code:

  • Legacy Code Lessons
  • Stupidly Thorough Unit Testing
  • Database Performance Tips with JSON
  • Mura/Masa to ContentBox Migrations

Why it matters: Not everyone starts with a blank slate. Learn how to refactor, migrate, and test smarter — without breaking what already works.

Everyone knows the datasource password should not be sitting in plain text in a config file. Everyone has also, at some point, shipped exactly that, because the alternative was a pile of environment variable plumbing that nobody wanted to build on a deadline. x

BoxLang AI 3.4 Blog Series Part 3 : Batched Approvals

BoxLang AI 3.4 Blog Series Part 3 : Batched Approvals

Here's a bug that's easy to miss until it bites someone in production: an agent turn asks for two tool calls at once, both need human approval, and only the first one actually suspends. The second one gets silently skipped. Not rejected, not queued, just gone. That's what happened before 3.4.0, and it's fixed now with batched tool-call approvals.

Getting Started with BoxLang as an Alternative CFML Engine

Getting Started with BoxLang as an Alternative CFML Engine

If you have an existing ColdFusion or Lucee application, one of the first questions you may have about BoxLang is probably not:

“Should I rewrite my application in BoxLang?”

It is much simpler:

“Can BoxLang run the CFML application I already have?”

That was the focus of veteran CFML troubleshooter Charlie Arehart’s session at Into the Box 2026, Getting Started with BoxLang as an Alternative CFML Engine.
