We just released a free chapter of our DI training course so the entire ColdFusion community can benefit, so check it out: http://bit.ly/v7Igda!

Just my little contribution to the MXUnit project. Here is a little cheatsheet: http://ortus-public.s3.amazonaws.com/MXUnitCheatSheet.pdf

I just wanted to do a quick summary of this year's CFCamp 2011 in Munich, Germany. This was truly a great 1 day event that was filled with great topics, great location and great networking. A big thank you to Michael Hnat and Contens for providing great facilities, and a great environment for this conference. I presented on how to create ColdFusion powered RESTful services, modeling them, documenting them and testing them using ColdBox Relax. We have posted our presentations and code demos here: http://blog.coldbox.org/post.cfm/cfcamp-2011-presentations

ColdBox Relax reaches version 1.5 so you can Relax while building RESTful services:

Just a little note that I will be presenting at the CFMeetup this June 30th at 6pm Eastern (3pm PST) on a topic dear to my heart: WireBox Dependency Injection and AOP!  Some come and check it out!

I just wanted to see if somebody can help me out something that has completely alluded me with CFBuilder 2.  Here is the scenario.

1. I have a server setup that points to this web root: /sites/cboxdev/core and maps to http://cboxdev.myserver
2. I have a project setup that points to this root: /sites/cboxdev/core/coldbox and is connected to the server above
3. So basically, whenever I open any CFC that points to a CFC: coldbox.system.* Builder complains it cannot find that resolution path.  However, the "coldbox" portion is the project iteself. So how can I tell builder that this project is the actual resolving root?

Does it make sense?

Just a reminder that tomorrow May 19th, 2011 I will be presenting on WireBox dependency injection and aop at the Inland Empire User Group. So if you want to learn the basics of dependency injection or you are a guru already, come an check this session out! WireBox has been part of ColdBox since version 2.0 and has been powering enterprise applications with DI capabilities for years. Come and check out how WireBox can help you in your DI and AOP needs for ColdBox applications or for ANY ColdFusion application.

We will have pizza, sodas and goodies! We will also be raffling off some cool Adobe Software!

We will be meeting Thursday May 19th, 6:30PM @ Cal Poly Pomona in room 5-16 of building 98C (the C/L/A building)

I am back from CFObjective 2011 and what a conference! It was truly and amazing conference and it was great to see so many friends and incredible topics.  I guess adding 100 more things to learn and code now.  I had the privilege of presenting on three topics:

• ColdBox Platform: 3.0 and beyond
• Sample Source
  

• WireBox: Dependency Injection and AOP framework
• Just Mock It! Leveraging Mock Objects
  

I had lots of fun meeting with clients, attendees and speakers.  I can't wait for CFObjective 2012 now!
