CFCs are the Framework
|
Topic:
ColdFusion components are an application framework themselves. With a little bit of organization and careful planning, it is entirely possible to gain the benefits of other popular frameworks such as Fusebox without requiring dozens of core files, framework overhead, or the need to learn another XML language. Using CFCs as the framework allows developers to focus on the study and design of business objects and methods rather than being bombarded with sales pitches and heated debates regarding which framework is better than the others. The simple methodology in this presentation is based around standard MVC (Model, View Controller) concepts. The original implementation was designed by John Quarto, Hal Helms and Jeff Peters specifically for the Fusebox 4 framework back when CFCs were just gaining momentum. Steve has recreated this light-weight MVC approach using nothing but CFCs and some simple core application logic.
Bio:
Steve Nelson has been developing with ColdFusion for the past decade. Many ColdFusion enthusiasts will recognize him as the creator of Fusebox, a popular application framework utilized by thousands of ColdFusion developers. In addition to serving as a technical editor for numerous ColdFusion and Fusebox publications, Steve has also authored the book "Fusebox: Methodology and Techniques". Steve is no stranger to massive ColdFusion projects, sometimes managing and coordinating over 100 remote contractors simultaneously. Though he made and lost millions in the blink of an eye during the "dotcom era", Steve presently spends his days as a Senior Web Architect for WebApper, developers of the popular ColdFusion server monitoring tool SeeFusion.
