The only way I was able to get any good at &amp;quot;programing&amp;quot;, is because ColdFusion is so perfectly abstracted and wonderfully implemented.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/productinfo/overview/&quot;&gt;ColdFusion loves you&lt;/a&gt; , and makes sure that if you put some thought into your code, you will always get maximum satisfaction in return.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  Now.... on to the Great thing for me:  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;  [codeshare juna0600]  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;  After hearing Mr. Flowers awesome sermon, and now needing to re-factor the payment process of a shopping cart im building, and that ColdFusion is SOOOO COOL....This here stupid little guy is gonna make a form builder!&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  We in the ColdFusion world ARE THE LUCKIEST PROGRAMMERS AROUND!&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  We get OOP, AOP (thanks &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.coldspringframework.org/&quot;&gt;ColdSpring&lt;/a&gt; ), and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pbell.com/index.cfm/Domain-Specific-Languages&quot;&gt;LOP&lt;/a&gt;  cause ColdFusion is GREAT.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  My head is spinning, Im freaking out that 90% of the repetitive tasks I have so ignorantly done over the last 13 years of hacking away at this stuff will never be repeated AGAIN!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;u&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;7&quot;&gt;I LOVE &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/&quot;&gt;COLDFUSION!!!!!!!!!&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;  &amp;nbsp;  &lt;/p&gt;  </description><pubDate>Fri, 15 Jun 2007 20:55:22 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://johnfallen.instantspot.com/blog/2007/06/15/DLSs-WOW-ColdFusion-CAN-DO-ANYTHING</guid><category>Domain Specific Languages</category></item><item><title>Front End Is Trying to Kill Me</title><link>http://johnfallen.instantspot.com/blog/2006/11/21/Front-End-Is-Trying-to-Kill-Me</link><description>&lt;p&gt;  I am TOTALLY tired of the front end nightmare!  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;  Will Flex save me? I just printed out the Flex Store 2_1 and have been reading &lt;a href=&quot;http://weblogs.macromedia.com/swebster/&quot;&gt;Steve Webster&amp;rsquo;s&lt;/a&gt; (how kewl is Webster for the name of a RIA framework creator???!?!?, LOVE IT) &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/cairngorm_pt1.html&quot;&gt;6 part series on Flex Development&lt;/a&gt;. I think Flex will be the answer I have been looking for.  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;  What will Flex save me from? STUPID BROWSERS!!!!! I love how CF makes making the backend easy, but trying to wrestle &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/&quot;&gt;Yahoo UI&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://dojotoolkit.org/&quot;&gt;Dojo&lt;/a&gt;, or &lt;a href=&quot;http://script.aculo.us/&quot;&gt;script.aculo.us&lt;/a&gt;, or my fav &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.twinhelix.com/&quot;&gt;TwinHelix&lt;/a&gt; (MOST LIGHT WEIGHT, MOST CROSS BROWSER SUPPORT DTHML LIB out there) to solve some problem that my designers have made every time is getting to be a bummer.  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;  F this HTML stuff, give me something that works. I think it is here.  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;  I think I am going to try to give Reactor Blog a Flex front end.  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;  Ill post code if it comes out.  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;  bigLove to ColdFusion,&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;ja&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;  </description><pubDate>Tue, 21 Nov 2006 17:41:15 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://johnfallen.instantspot.com/blog/2006/11/21/Front-End-Is-Trying-to-Kill-Me</guid></item></channel></rss>
