ColdBox Training next week at CFUnited 2009

I have been asked quite a few times why not make a ColdBox lite
version where you can only have the basics? Well, not many people now
that this already exists. Therefore, I am linking to the SimpleMVC
template you can use if you are just starting with ColdBox. This
template is just the basic ColdBox conventions and a few settings,
that's it. This template will ease you in to ColdBox MVC development.
Once you are comfortable with just the basics of how to build apps with
conventions you can always add on and start brining in extra features
from the Coldbox Platform like: caching, logging, AOP, interceptors,
feed integrations, security, etc. However, you won't feel as
intimidated as if you where starting with a huge settings file.
The reason of having all the settings listed out is to tell the
developer that there are all these settings you can use. It is also
hard to create templates when everybody's level and approach is
different. However, this can be overwhelming to entry level users,
therefore we are now including the SimpleMVC template in the coldbox
downloads to come or you can download it from here now: http://www.coldbox.org/downloads/simpleMVC.zip (3.0 template)
So let's do a simple ColdBox for Newbies guide:

This topic has been going on for a while, where some people have come up with the idea of having a private request collection that is unaffected by the incoming URL/FORM/REMOTE variables but still have access to it via the request context object. You already CAN do this by just building a simple request context decorator. However, some people think that this could be a cool core addition. I am starting to think so also, so here are my thoughts on the topic.
The purpose of this pos...
As you have probably read a few days ago we released LogBox: An enterprise ColdFusion Logging Library, part of the new ColdBox 3.0.0 Platform Suite. The library's core of logging takes place thanks to its appenders that send messages to different destinations. As of now, the distribution has 11 appenders included, but if you want to build your own, you can very very easily. Not only that, since we are in Beta, you can submit your appenders and we will include them in the distribution if t...
