News and Events

Box Products Get Complete Makeover! - April Fools

We decided that even during a lockdown, there might be room for a little humor, we posted a blog post on April Fools about some rebranding.

ColdBox – FridgeBox
TestBox – MakeItWorkBox
WireBox – ShockBox
ForgeBox – ToyBox
CommandBox – MasterBox

Someone also asked for one box to contain them all, but I had to remind them that Sean Corfield encouraged us to retire KitchenSinkBox a long time ago :)

Presenter: Elishia Dvorak
April 9th, 11am PDT
This session is all about demos, no slides! From start to finish, we’ll take you through the nitty gritty of troubleshooting and setting yourself up in Adobe’s ColdFusion Performance Monitoring Tool to troubleshoot the main issues that keep you awake at night. We’ll run through setting up different types of notifications, threshold settings, auto tuning, and even some simulations to give you a good sense of how the PMT can help you diagnose your craziest ColdFusion issues.

Reminder: ContentBox CMS Customer Experience Survey

ContentBox, our signature professional open-source modular content management system for ColdFusion (CFML),  recently celebrated 8 years in the market. For sure, it has been a solid base for many companies to easily build websites, blogs, wikis, complex web applications, and RESTFul web services.
We are ramping up our planning for our next generation of the ContentBox platform and we need your feedback.
Please take some time to let us know your opinion, so we can start cooking some CMS goodness!
