Ortus Solutions prides itself on always learning, and evolving. Whether we learn from our colleagues, clients, community members, or other languages and communities, this all helps Ortus keep pushing forward and innovating. The CFML Community has been asking for Docker information lately, we knew Docker would be very important moving forward, and that is why we made it a priority for Ortus Solutions over the last 2 years. This week Luis and Gavin will be attending Docker Con 2018 in San Francisco ( June 12 - 15, 2018 ) to help further our learning, through great content, and great networking. If you are attending, we'd love to talk to you.

Gavin is hard to miss, and will be wearing Ortus shirts all week, but Docker Con is going to be a huge event, if you would like to catch up with us, please send us a message on our boxteam slack. http://boxteam.herokuapp.com/ is setup so you can invite yourself if you are not already in the slack channel. #dockercon2018 is a channel we setup for the conference, so jump in and say 'hi' if you are at the conference.

We are really looking forward to attending, learning a lot, and meeting people, old friends and new. Hope to see you there.

If you are unable to go, there are some resources below that will keep you busy.

You can register for the keynote live stream here https://blog.docker.com/2018/06/livestream-dockercon-2018/

We also have our Roadshow from 2017 on Containers on our Ortus Solutions website - https://www.ortussolutions.com/events/container-roadshow-2017 This contains numerous blog posts, and several videos.

Feel like your missing out? There are a lot of great videos available from last year's docker con 2017 available here https://2017.dockercon.com/ One word of warning, 1 year in docker is like 7 years of tech, so a lot has changed in a year, but there is still a lot of great content available.

12 days of BoxLang - Day 3: SocketBox!

As BoxLang continues evolving into a modern, high-performance, JVM-based runtime, real-time communication becomes essential for the applications we all want to build: dashboards, collaboration tools, notifications, live feeds, multiplayer features, and more.

That’s where SocketBox steps in — the WebSocket upgrade listener built to work seamlessly with CommandBox and the BoxLang MiniServer. ⚡

Today, for Day 3, we’re highlighting how SocketBox supercharges BoxLang development by giving you fast, flexible, and framework-agnostic WebSocket capabilities.
