The secrets of a system integrator. My Journey of Startup, Product + Project Development
In my original ColdBox 3 review, I mentioned that I would be starting a brief ColdBox Series to cover my experiences and any questions that came my way.
I have used the past few months to approach ColdBox in two different ways:
Existing Applications – Consider porting, or continuing development in ColdBox. Like any re-factoring, there are [...]
One of the neat discoveries about ColdBox is the ColdBox plugin for Adobe ColdFusion Builder.
Here’s the problem… I couldn’t get the ColdBox Platform Extension installed in ColdFusion Builder with the existing instructions in the link above. I suspect the older version of the ColdFusion Builder allowed you to do it from more than one location.
Once you’re past why someone would develop a new program in ColdFusion, you find a rich community of developers, examples, libraries and frameworks.
I’ve been playing around with the ColdBox Framework for ColdFusion for a few months.
What lead me to ColdBox was a period of discovering and playing around with the discoveries I made with ColdFusion 9 and it’s killer Hibernate ORM integration.
I could no longer program, ever again until ColdFusion 9 came out.. it made for a slower fall on new projects. I decided to dust off the old exploration cap and started looking at what was new and developing in the ColdFusion world.
