ColdBox, ColdFusion
It's actually been three or four days now, but I finally launched the LISD Council of PTAs site, my first one that is built on the ColdBox framework. The development process is so quick and intuitive with ColdBox.
I've been extremely busy with "kids stuff" of late, so I haven't had a chance to really do much else. Hopefully in the coming days I'll be able to set some time aside to post a couple of quickie ColdBox tutorials.

IMPORTANT: The XML is still perfectly valid, and the FB5.5 release will *not* break older apps. As a matter of fact, I have several 5.1 applications that are now running on the 5.5 core, without a single keystroke change to the code.
When I unzipped and ran the Cat Club demo from the webroot, it performed flawlessly. And fast? Yes! Very. "So far so good," I thought, and then I went to putting together my own little demo app, utilizing the implicit circuit feature (no XML). That's when I stubbed my toe, fell down, and skinned up my knees.
