In this workshop you will be introduced to the latest version of the most popular CFML MVC framework; ColdBox 6. We will go over the basics of installation, templating and configuration to the most advanced features.

Prerequisites :

Latest CommandBox CLI (You don’t need to know how to use it.)

- MySQL GUI

-A local database server - We will be using MySQL 5.7 in the course. MAKE SURE IT IS 5.7. You can start a local database service with docker using the following command if needed. You can then stop and start the database server with `docker stop soapbox` and `docker start soapbox`.

This course will focus on building a real twitter clone; SoapBox, based on different concepts and tool methodologies. We will use ColdBox 6 features, including Behavior Driven Development (BDD) testing and leveraging several ForgeBox modules.
