Hello community. I have been developing ColdFusion applications for over 20 years. I would love to learn about ColdBox. While looking for information online, I found a video tutorial from ColdBox’s creators, Ortus Solutions, but from 2020, referencing to ColdBox 5 I believe. The books I have found are also a bit old. Is this information still relevant for ColdBox 7? Is there any other resource for learning the framework?
Thank you very much.
For instance, the video tutorial I am following it shows this on Mac’s menu bar:
I do not have this in the new version. Was it deprecated or I did something wrong with my installation?
Any help would be very appreciated 
There are a lot of videos on https://cfcasts.com/ - some free others are part of the subscription.
ColdBox and CommandBox are different things. Your screenshot is starting up a server using CommandBox, which it still supports. https://commandbox.ortusbooks.com/embedded-server
ColdBox docs are here https://coldbox.ortusbooks.com/
Thank you very much for your answer, @aliaspooryorik. I am following the videos from cfcasts, but they are for older versions of both ColdBox and CommandBox, so I was wondering if there was something more up-to-date. However this is a great starting point.
Regarding the screen capture I shared, I was pointing out at the menu bar icon from the video, which I don’t see in the version I am running of CommandBox. This icon, according to the video, would provide me access to switching from one server to another, without going through the console. The link you provided pointed me to a good direction…
But when I tried it, I am still not seeing the icon on the menu bar.
Regardless, thank you very much for taking the time to reply to me.
We will be doing new videos soon. Right now all the docs are always up to date, which is where the books come from:
Great news Luis, muchísimas gracias! Empresa que busca CF developers, busca ColdBox, así que mejor estar preparado.
Muchas gracias! Tenemos muchisimo contenido en www.cfcasts.com y en nuestro youtube channel. Pero los docs siempre estan up to date.
Excelente Luis. Yo estoy buscando un tutorial como el de cfcasts para poder armar un sistema completo utilizando ColdBox, y creo que lo de cfcasts me va a servir, más allá de que sean diferentes versiones. Un gusto enorme conocerte (virtualmente)!
Hola otra vez Luis. Dentro de la idea de actualizar los videos, van a actualizar el curso en Udemy también?
Estos cursos de Zero to Hero son hechos presenciales. Usualmente no los grabamos. Pero esto se colo.

Welcome to the community!
I would create a new topic/thread for this question since it sounds like you’d like some help troubleshooting the Zero to Hero workshop and your question is not related to OP’s post.
Create a new thread and I’ll see if I can assist you.
