With ColdBox 3.0.0 you can use any kind of regular expression with your SES routes which makes it extremely flexible.  One way to accomplish this is by using the constraints arguments when calling the addRoute() method to add a routing entry. So if I wanted to add a placeholder that matches a regex then I would do this:

addPattern(pattern="/api/:format/", constraints={format="(xml|json)"})

As you can see from the code ab...

I have been getting some inquiries of why not also allowing the purchase of the 2 days of CBOX-101 at our training right after Scotch on the Rocks.  So we listened!  You can now either purchase the 3 day training which includes the 2 days of CBOX-101 plus a one day coding bootcamp or you can just purchase the 2 days of CBOX-101 training.

We are only about 4 weeks away, so reserve your sea...

Last night I had the honor to share the stage with 8 other amazing developers to do a Pecha Kucha style presentation.  It was a ton of fun and I encourage anyone who has a chance to present in this style to take it.  It a unique style of presenting.  20 slides, 20 seconds per slide...What would you say?

I spoke on MockBox.  Here are my slides if your interested.

Mocking, Its not just for picking on people-slides

Also, here is a video of me presenting. It was taken on my co-workers Blackberry, so the quality is might not be great

To wow the crowd, I also wore a Jedi robe I "happened" to have with me at the conference.

Hey everybody, its M5 time!  After several months of intense work we arrive at our almost last milestone in our road to 3.0.0 greatness.  One more milestone and we go gold!  This milestone is dear to my heart as it includes one of my favorite new features of ColdBox, ColdBox Modules!  We have also managed to document pretty much every single update ...

Our now famous LogBox: Enterprise Logging Library reaches another step in maturity to version 1.3.  This release includes the following:

I am very excited for this years cf.Objective().  This will be my third year and each year it has gotten better and I always leave inspired and ready to improve all aspects of my craft.  It is great to be surrounded by like minded individuals with the same goal to make themselves better at what they do. 

This year I have the unique honor to present at the Pecha Kucha BOF that Bob Silverberg organized.  I will be presenting on Mocking, it's not just for picking on people.  So, you should come join the crowd at the BOF and mock me, or at least learn new ways to mock. 

If you haven't registered for cf.Objective().  I believe you still can today.  You should also be sure to register for the ColdBox  1 day training workshop.  So, stop what your doing right now and head on over to the registration page and go for it.

Hope to see you at the BOF.  And thanks Bob for organizing it.
