We did a hands on workshop at our Inland Empire User group yesterday in Pomona, California.  We had fun installing CF9, Adobe CF Builder and ColdBox 3 Beta.  We managed to build a simple task manager with all the new nice ORM features and coldbox 3.0.0 features.  So if you are interested in seeing the workshop online, here is the recording: 

We always are trying to help the ColdFusion community as much as we can.  We had a CFC best practices document in our ColdBox documentation site in order to steer developers in the right direction when building components.  I have updated the document to now include more topics than just CFCs.  So if you are interested in collaborating to this document or think some points are useless, please comment and we can make this document better.

So here are our ColdFusion Development Best Pra...

I got word today after leaving CFUnited to come back to California that ColdBox was announced as The Open Source Project of the Year by the Community Achievement Awards!  I am super excited and happy about this award and you can see the recording here:

2. Dallas
3. Houston

If you would like to attend to this 2 day intensive ColdBox training, please leave a comment and choose your city.  The curriculum for this class can be found here:

Bob Silverberg just announced the availability of a ColdBox plugin for interacting with his Validate This! framework!  I highly encourage you to test drive Validate This as it is truly an awesome validation framework.  He not only did the plugin but adapted a sample application to work with it.

So if you are still trying to determine validation and want an easy and great solution, give ValidateThis a shot!  Here are some links for you:

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...

We have added a new FeedBack Forum to all of the ColdBox websites so it makes it easy for the community to report new features, ideas, enhancements and bugs.  Not only that, but we can all vote for what features to support or build and so much more.  So please check it out, by going here:  http://coldbox.uservoice.com/ or just by clicking on the new feedback tabs on the sites.
