ICYMI - ColdBox v6.6.0 released

Today we are incredibly excited to release ColdBox v6.6.0 and its standalone companion libraries: CacheBox, LogBox and WireBox. This release has taken quite a few months and tons of years of research to complete. We have finally made WireBox a Hierarchical Dependency Injection framework. This is our first huge step into allowing multi-dependency management in ColdBox Modules. This means that you will be able to have modules of different versions running within the same ColdBox app and each module will be able to get the right dependency that it needs. With that said, let's explore this release.

Hawaii CFUG - Using CFCs in your ColdFusion Applications with John Barrett

Friday, February 25, 2022 - 5:00 PM CT - Central Time (US and Canada)
This will be a talk on using CFCs in your ColdFusion applications. Creating and developing applications using CFCs enables you to separate the code logic from the design and presentation. Utilizing CFCs and creating a clear structured format for your code will help reduce the complexity of logic within your pages and improve the application speed. Having a clearly structured, the well-organized code base will make it easier to develop as an individual and share resources within a team. This is the instant benefit of CFC development.
