This August 13th, 2014 at 7pm I will be presenting on ContentBox Modular CMS at the North Virginia ColdFusion User Group.  So if you are in the vicinity, drop by for some food, drinks, goodies and some knowledge on ContentBox Modular CMS!  We will also transmit it via Connect:

You can find much more information in the User Group page: http://www.meetup.com/nvcfug/events/198139752/.  See you there!

ContentBox is an open source modular content application written in CFML that will provide you with blogs, cms, wiki and more. Built on the solid ColdBox Platform and ColdFusion ORM foundations, ContentBox can be extended using modular architecture instead of conforming to a standard application API. Based fully on conventions, event-driven programming and ColdBox modules, your content can scale and customizations now become trivial. Extend and scale based on industry standards and think outside of the box!

 

I am excited to be able to present to the fine folks of the London Railo Group next Friday May 30th at 6:30 pm on ColdBox 4 and CommandBox, our new CLI and Package Manager for CFML.  So if you are in the London vicinity drop by for a sneak peak of ColdBox4, CommandBox and Pixel8's PresideCMS (Powered by ColdBox).

See you there!

It was about time I started to eat my own dog food, so I have completed the migration from Wordpress to ContentBox today and with that a new inspiration to write more.  So expect a lot more content coming your way now that I have ContentBox up and running.  Also, thanks to this migration we have updated the Wordpress importer of ContentBox and it will be available by next week.

Just a quick announcement that we have slashed the prices for the ColdBox eBooks and you can now purchase them for only $29.99.  The new eBook also is an enhanced PDF that is more portable and printable.  We are also working hard on the iPad/iBooks version, so stay tuned!

• Kindle Version
• eBook Version

Only a few days left for the Early Bird special for CFUnited. So if you haven't registered yet, I really hope you do. I will be doing a great session on ColdBox at the conference and it should be a great one.

Well, CF Objective is almost here, only 31 more days!! I am super excited that this year I will be attending again and actually speaking on two sessions:

• ColdBox Framework 101
• ColdBox Advanced Techniques Workshop

These sessions should definitely get you familiar with what ColdBox is and how it can help you or your organization. The two hour hands-on workshop will surely be an interesting one as I will demo lots of features and some clever tips and tricks. Hope to see you there and don't forget to register for these sessions.

These California wild fires are out of control. It seems that all of our area is burning. Here are some pictures I took from outside my house near the lake arrowhead fire. All my prayers go out to firefighters and the people who have lost their homes in this natural disaster.

I will be presenting at the Melbourne CFUG this October 18th on ColdBox. However, it will be on my 2AM, (thanks Mark!!) So I will have to struggle with sleep deprivation for the presentation. You can find more information on the presentation here.

Sorry guys, no ColdBox development for about a week and a half!! The wife requires it, now that we are going to Florida for a brothers reunion. So DON"T BOTHER ME!!

Have a great week.
