A few new Coldbox powered sites pushed live of this month.
EntryMaster. A sports registration gateway for the UK market using ColdBox to power a custom CMS and payment system.

Coming next month MonsterHunt.co.uk. A AR game powered by ColdBox. Lots of press for this one leading up to Halloween so watch this space, its going to be cool! The Zombies are coming!
I have been doing a lot of mobile development recently. The jqtouch plugin for jquery is awesome by the way! If you have not had the delight of developing with it yet I highly recommend the plugin for you next mobile project.
Anyhow back to Layar, I was asked to produce a simple Layar for one of our clients. Layar if you don't know is a cool augmented reality browser for the iPhone and Android. Other phone operating systems have been announced and its set to come pre-installed on most phones by 2012.
Augmented reality is exploding in Europe and I really think it's the next big thing. Creating a Layar is supper easy but no tutorial seemed to exist showing how to create POI in ColdFusion so I decided to write a quick post from an asp.NET Layar I did a few weeks back.
Requirements
You should know that a Layers consist of two parts:
Layer definition: Created using a web form on the Layar Publishing site. I will show you how to do that.<.p>
Points of Interest within a layer: Fetched directly from the Layer Service Provider via the API. We will do this in CF. I will show you a quick example of this here also
