Back in the ColdBox 2.5.1 release, a new feature was added: persist. Think of it as a sort of "flash memory", allowing your application to "remember" event variables when moving the user to the next event. I was recently asked about this feature, so I figured I would make a quick post about it in an effort to help more people.

Awhile back I posted about ColdCourse Integration in ColdBox, and how easy it is to use SES (or "pretty") URLs with ColdBox. Today I was taking a peek at the What's New in ColdBox 2.6 documentation, and down at the very bottom I spotted something that seems so trivial, but is so totally cool that I wanted to be sure to highlight it.

I've mentioned before that I <3 ColdBox and that I <3 jQuery. Independently of one another, they are just a pleasure to work with. Today I decided to write my first-ever jQuery-powered AJAX functionality inside a ColdBox-powered application. It's ridiculously simple to do - one might even say sinful. So easy in fact, that I decided to post a quick "tutorial" on how to handle a pretty common task with ColdBox and jQuery.

I don't know about you guys, but there are a number of simple, boring view files that are identical across multiple applications. One such example would be a standard user login form. Nothing fancy - it's the same on pretty much all websites. In the past I have always done the ol' copy/paste for these files and had them residing in the directory structure of each application that they were needed in. Well, thanks to ColdBox those days are now gone forever in QuackApps.

ColdBox 2.5 now has native support for Adam Fortuna's ColdCourse project. Man, this stuff is totally awesome! Prior to the last few days of digging into 2.5, I had only had a chance to casually glance at ColdCourse. Thanks to Luis Majano and Russ Johnson for working hard to get ColdCourse implemented.
Now, instead of having a URL like this one...
