ColdFusion MX Coding Guidelines - Contents
Release 3.0.2 (10/17/2003)
Contents
These Coding Guidelines are structured as follows:
Introduction
This document provides guidelines for developing ColdFusion MX applications
within Macromedia's Web Technology Group. The rules and guidelines given here
are intended
to apply to CFMX 6.1 specifically and may not be appropriate for earlier versions
(including CFMX 6.0). It is a living document, growing over time, incorporating
feedback from Web Technology Group developers and, sometimes, the larger ColdFusion
community, as the guidelines are 'proved' in our live environment.
The first public release of this document (2.0) was made in Summer 2002. Since
then, the Web Technology Group has launched the all-new macromedia.com website,
powered by ColdFusion MX. This release (3.0) takes advantage of that experience
and the changes in ColdFusion Components introduced by CFMX 6.1 a.k.a "Red
Sky".
Although this document is published as-is for the ColdFusion community, Macromedia's
Web Technology Group own the document and decide what goes into it. You may,
however, take a copy of this document and modify it as you see fit to create
your own coding guidelines as long as you acknowledge this original document.
Conventions
The following conventions are used in this document:
- [TBD: some comment in blue]
- This indicates an issue which needs discussion and agreement within WTG.
- Some comment crossed out in gray
- This is a Macromedia-specific issue which can be ignored outside Macromedia.
In the internal document, none of these will be highlighted (because the
style sheet is different!).
Base Document
These guidelines were originally based on the Spectra
Team Coding Standards by Mike Andler and Tom Lane, 12/14/2000.
