This Thursday is the last night for forgebox submissions that will make you win a ColdBox free Book. So get your code on and submit code entries to win a free book.

I am glad to inform that I will be presenting at CF.Objective 2010 this year in Minneapolis. Unfortunately, it will be only 1 topic, as my other 2 where not accepted (LogBox: Making Logging in ColdFusion Fun again and Powering iPhone Applications with ColdFusion). Hopefully, next year they will allow more topics.

Not only will I will be presenting, but I will be doing a ColdBox 1 Day training course: CBOX-100. So if you will be attending CF.Objective and need to get some ColdBox Training, you can. So I hope to see you there this April.

You heard right, we have 1 more free book for the next person that registers for our ColdBox Training seminar in Ontario, California this February 20th to the 21st.

The early bird registration is open and ends January 29th, so register here: http://www.coldbox.org/index.cfm/events/ca-feb-2010

I just saw this book review by Henrik Joreteg and wanted to share it:

Coldbox is *the* enterprise ColdFusion framework and toolkit.

I've written several enterprise level ColdFusion apps in ColdBox.

If you're a CF developer, this book is a must have. Buy it.

We just announced a new 2 day ColdBox training and registration is now open, read all about it here: http://blog.coldbox.org/post.cfm/coldbox-training-registration-open-feb-2010

For all you kindle fans, we now have the ColdBox book available for kindle: http://www.amazon.com/Definitive-Guide-ColdBox-Platform-ebook/dp/B002ZG8S0G/ref=sr_1_3

I am so glad to finally say that the first ColdBox Book: The Definitive Guide To The ColdBox Platform has now been released. You can purchase it from our e-store now and it will soon be available for purchase in all Amazon stores worldwide. Please also note that our e-store ships worldwide. So this is an early X-Mas Gift! Welcome to ColdBox Books!

This past weekend we had another ColdBox Training Seminar in Dallas, Texas and it was such a great experience. The group was diverse, involved and really into learning, which I was so grateful to teach. To better let you in to the experience of one of our seminars, Doug Boude has written an excellent summary of his training experience. So if you want to know what ColdBox training is like, head on over to Doug's blog and find out.

What can I say, I have been very productive this past few weeks and we have several releases:

• ColdBox 3.0.0 Beta 3
• LogBox 1.0
• MockBox 1.0
• Amazon S3 Explorer & ColdBox Plugin

As you can see we are hard at work on our 3.0.0 release and we now have 3 milestones under our belt. We still are finalizing all of our planned core features so we can then concentrate on our two more standalone modules: BlenderBox and cboxCache. So stay tuned.

Book Update:

I am still finalizing the last minute revisions on the book manuscript and then I will have to re-send to my publisher. Sorry about the delay, but the book looks amazing and hopefully I can release soon!
