I Love ColdFusion

I LOVE the ColdFusion Weekly ! Who in the CF community wouldn’t?

I think I love value objects just a tincy incy wincy bit/byte/stupidJoke more.

I like the pattern where the model creates the representation for the view.

I have read Steve Webster’s paper a couple of times… it makes BLATANT sense to a guy like me (who DID learn OO via frameworks) and now RACKS his brain every night trying to figure out: 1. can the next guy "get" this code and 2. is it fast?!?!?! How little lines of: useful commented code can this STUPID (ME STUPID) CFC GET TOO! … ahem …be cut to!??!(I get OO but I’m not a CompSciGuy, don’t comp sci guys know REGEX like off the chain? I hated the weekend {but still kinda liked it} when I read a manual about ISAPI re-write stuff, ummmmmmm Wyatt[awesome coworker – help please])?!?!?!?!

…. Ops I digress, VO’s are easy simple truths.

I mean the VO is cool. Give me the view? Shouldn’t model do application.VO.setValue(userData) after the data base model code is run? Might seem like a little more work but I like the feeling that the “VIEW” in MVC is getting something the model explicitly made. I guess another controller is needed. I dono.

What ever…ValueObject’s: make me happy and let me think about something else. I also like Application.cfm to manage the states of how “Birth” happens. Birth is a big deal. Is configuration in one spot? Is a ANT script simple?

Home – why I rant:
I GO NUTZ FOR THE BAD MAN HIMSELF Joe Rinehart’s continuing series of blog posts about Cairngorm for ColdFusion developers . After reading the first 5 posts and building messing around with a low-fi blog engine using the thought pattern that views only ask for simple things, getTheThingToSee VO “type” pattern, things are only a little fuzzy in a few places. Maybe Im tired.

Well THANKS JOE

ALSO THANKS INSTANTSPOT

totally inspired by the NYRL from the great ColdFusionWeekly
