Testimonials
As always, Into The Box was full of modern web development content, much of which is applicable to any CFML application, not just those running ColdBox! There were sessions on AI, FlexBox, unit tests, app design, No SQL modeling, and more! Seriously, even if you're not using ColdBox at all, Into The Box is very much worth attending.
Nolan Erck
Director / Owner
Ortus has done it again, another year of giving back to the community and another conference that never disappoints. So, for those of you that have yet to make it to this conference, all I can say, is don't let another year go by that you do not join your fellow developers and peers in this intimate and, in my opinion, one of the best conferences you can ever attend for the ColdFusion community.
Giancarlo Gómez
Owner / Developer
Everything a conference should be - surprising, impressive, inspiring, with concrete takeaways that have, time and again, made my life as a developer better.
