Calling all CFML developers and enthusiasts! We are thrilled to announce an upcoming event that promises to elevate your skills and empower you with ColdBox's latest updates and features. Join us for a two-day workshop led by modern CFML industry experts Luis Majano and Gavin Pickin as they guide you through the ins and outs of ColdBox development. Whether you're a beginner looking to jumpstart your journey into the MVC ecosystem or an experienced developer seeking to refine your ColdBox skills, this workshop is designed to meet your needs.

Our friends at TeraTech help put together a comprehensive survey of the entire CFML community to get a feel for how it's evolving, what new technologies are getting picked up, and what the current pain points are.  We use this data at Ortus to help us decide what CF engines to support and how to help the community.

Adobe released ColdFusion 2021 this week.  It's a pretty big release with a modularization of the core engine and a nice list of language enhancements.
