Create the newbies ultimate guide. Some good pointers are below by Josen Ruiseco:
- Installation tutorial (I think you already have this).
- A tutorial covering the creation of a simple non-database site. Creating header and footer views, then static text (like a brochure site).
- Next I would want to see how to bring various views together in a single page/template.
- Then I would introduce database interactivity in the way of forms, selects, inserts, and updates.
- Then a session management / login tutorial.
- Get more advanced from there...
All of this being done in the ColdBox way of course, and being very elementary in its approach (i.e. Detailed explanations of everything - A view is a snippet of code that does...)
The ColdFusion Application Development books are what I cut my teeth on years ago. Perhaps matching that progression in terms of difficulty might be a good approach.
A good set of very basic tutorials could go a long way in helping folks choose ColdBox as their framework of choice.
