Luis posted the details on his site. Go get it! The new ColdBox Sidebar is included in this release, you HAVE to check that out for sure!

I had the need the other day for a simple horizontal bar graph. I didnt want to mess with a flash based solution so I found some CSS based graphs and decided to create a ColdBox plugin for them so I can use them again later on.

So I wanted to post them here for anyone that might be interested in using them. The CSS is not my work, it was borrowed from here. Lets take a look at what they look like and how easy they are to use shall we?

Just a quick reminder that the earlybird pricing for the ColdBox training seminar taking place in Dallas, TX on October 4-5, 2008 will be ending soon.

As previously announced, ColdBox is in the midst of a transition from an Open Source Software project to a Professional Open Source Software project. It is with great pleasure that we are able to announce yet another step in this transition: a new strategic partnership between Ortus Solutions, Corp and Rachel Queen Services Group, LLC, which will oversee ColdBox Platform Official Training Seminars and curriculum development.

ColdBox Platform Official Training Seminars will provide 16+ hours of intense, hands-on training featuring:

• 2-Day Introduction to ColdBox and ColdBox Platform Development (ColdBox Platform 101) or
• 2-Day Advanced ColdBox Techniques and Application Development (ColdBox Platform 201)
• Official Training Seminar Workbook + Goodies.
• Limited Seating will be available, providing a more intimate learning atmosphere (10-15 people max)
• Regional Training Seminars (off-site, schedule TBA)
• Private Training Seminars (on-site)

The first ColdBox Platform Official Training Seminar set to cover Introduction to ColdBox and ColdBox Platform Development will be held in Dallas, Texas, and is tentatively scheduled for October 11-12, 2008. To reserve your seat and/or seats for your development team, please contact us at training@coldboxframework.com. Please be sure to let us know how many seats you would like to reserve, as seats are limited!

NOTE: We are in the process of locking in the Dallas venue and price schedule. As soon as these details are finalized we will make a formal announcement on official location, traveling arrangements, official schedule, individual pricing and curriculum.

Im a little late on this and certainly not the first to post it but Luis has announced the release of ColdBox 2.6 RC2. I have been using the latest builds for all of my applications and I can tell you that they have been rock solid. I expect more of the same from the RC2 release. Head over to the ColdBox site and check it out. Still not using ColdBox? I would be curious to know why.
