If you are close to Claremont,Pomona,LA area, come on by to our holiday bash this Saturday afternoon.

This shindig is scheduled for 12:00 pm on Saturday, December 19th at Pizza 'N Such in Claremont, which is located on the northeast corner of 2nd Street and Yale Avenue.

We have reserved their back room, which seats about 15-20 people, so we'll have a semi-private area to ourselves for total geekness and networking fun! We will be giving away some great prizes, including an Adobe software license (which can be used for a copy of ColdFusion 9!), some schwag, books, and I will be raffling a 1 day ColdBox course materials set, with awesome Bag!

If you are planning to come, please give us a shout using a comment in this blog or in our google group. Also, if anyone wishes to bring a friend/spouse/significant other please feel free, just add them to the head count.

See you there!!

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!
