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.

Introducing the BoxLang Spring Boot Starter: Dynamic JVM Templating for Spring

Spring Boot developers know the pain of evaluating view technologies. Thymeleaf is great — until you need more expressiveness. FreeMarker is powerful — until the syntax fights you. What if you could write templates in a dynamic JVM language that gives you the full power of the platform, feels natural, and requires zero setup to integrate?

Meet the BoxLang Spring Boot Starter.

Reactive vs Proactive ColdFusion Support: Why Waiting for an Outage Is the Most Expensive Strategy

Reactive vs Proactive ColdFusion Support: Why Waiting for an Outage Is the Most Expensive Strategy

Many ColdFusion environments operate in a reactive mode without realizing it.

Everything seems fine… until something breaks.

A server crashes.

Performance drops suddenly.

An integration stops working.

A security audit reveals missing patches.

At that point the response is urgent:

“Can someone help us fix this now?”

Emergency support is sometimes unavoidable. But when reactive intervention becomes the norm, it usually means something deep...
