Well, it is almost a week since my announcement of ColdBox and here are the updates on my progress.
- The dashboard is complete with the framework auto-update feature included
- i18N support via resource bundles is complete, you can now internationalize your applications via the config.xml and one simple getresource method. It takes more time to create the resource bundles than to actually enable multi-language support.
- Samples gallery application finished in both English and Spanish
- Quick Start Guide almost finished.
What is keeping me back from opening the source is the Quick Start Guide. I want to be able to provide some decent and abundant documentation, so from now on, that is the only task I am doing. This guide will give you an overview of the framework, how to use it, why use it, why not to use it, and more.
Now to the Dashboard preview. Below you can see some thumbnails of the sections of the Dashboard and brief descriptions:

Luis, Que Chvere se ve! Man it looks good. Looking forward to see what you've got. Also, nice to see someone from FIU doing such a good job in the CF Community. I went to FIU for a couple of years when I lived in Miami, different degree however. Tom
Luis Majano
Gracias Tom. When were you in FIU? Hopefully I can get all this together soon. The documentation is the hardest part. And the most boring. jejeje

Luis, Looks like you putting a lot of effort into this. It will be interesting to see what ColdBox will bring...

Luis, I lived in Miami from 99-02. I am active duty military and worked at USSOUTHCOM and attended FIU for a year (2000-2001) working on a masters in Linguistics. Didn't finish because of the job. I am now elsewhere getting ready to go over to Germany.
Just out of curiosity, have you built an example of CFPetMarket using your framework yet? One of the places that allow people to share what their "framework" has to offer is by building a CFPetMarket app with their respective framework. Anyway, keep up the good work because ColdBox is definitely looking nice! Tom

Rey, Are you using BlueDragon, I saw it in your blog. I really need to test this animal in BlueDragon and don't really have the time. Would you like to test??
Also, are you in MIami?
Rey Bango
I'm definitely running BlueDragon. Its actuallt BD for .Net. I'm a member of the BlueDragon Alliance so I get to test out the cool stuff that NewAtlanta is building. Email me rey at reybango punto com and I'll be sure to put it through its paces. I'll set you up with an FTP account so you can test some stuff on your own.
I actually live in Coral Springs now but I lived in Miami for over 30 years before moving up here with my wife. I was just down in SoBe last night with some friends having dinner.
