Topic Description:
In this session we’ll be looking at different ways we can power Rich Internet Applications using the ColdBox Platform. We’ll explore how to use ColdBox’s built in proxy and how to extend its functionality to allow for a seamless integration between the server and the client. If you are already or is planning to work with Rich Client user interfaces like HTML5/Ajax or Flex/AIR this session will be a great addition to your toolbox.
Thanks to our ColdBox Platform 3.5 launch and our upcoming ContentBox CMS launch, we are holding our very first ColdBox Developer Week: A series of FREEand live webinars hosted by the ColdBox Team and seasoned ColdBox developers from around the world. These sessions will cover from the basics and essentials of ColdBox and its internal libraries to very advanced topics like AOP, Cloud Development, ORM enhancements, Flex Integrations and so many more.
Come and join us for over 15 hours worth of FREE and live training in our very first ColdBox Developer Week. If you can’t make it to all sessions, then don’t worry, we will record all sessions for you and make them available through our Vimeo ColdBox groups. So get your thinking caps on and get ready for a tremendous ColdBox geek-out week!

ColdBox is an event-driven convention based ColdFusion Development Platform. It provides you with a set of reusable code and tools that you can use to increase your development productivity, and it provides you with a development standard when working in a team environment. ColdBox is comprehensive and modular which helps you address most infrastructure concerns of typical ColdFusion applications. It also goes places that other frameworks don’t.
If you want to buy it, here is the link.
