Back in the ColdFusion World
For the past 6 months, I’ve been spending a lot of time of time applying object oriented architecture principles to a rather large ColdFusion application. We are employing Transfer for our ORM, ColdSpring as our dependency injection engine, and Fusebox 5.1 as our web UI framework. This initial architecture was already in Fusebox 4, so we stayed it rather than moving to Model-Glue or Mach-II (the more innately OO CF frameworks).
Be on the lookout for a bunch a new posts around these topics.

Fusebox 5.1 in the works
Sean Corfield, lead developer of Fusebox 5.0, announced that 5.1 is underway. It’s great to see continual thought and effort being poured into Fusebox in light of all the new frameworks out there.
Here’s a list of cases that comprise the 5.1 release.

The new gig
I’ve been silent for a while. (Did anyone really notice? ; )) As it turns out, I have a new gig that is quite interesting. I left the .NET world and moved back into the ColdFusion world. The funny thing is that in the 3 months that I’ve been here, I’ve spent most of my time writing Ruby to automate some of their internal systems. It’s been a refreshing change. If you begin to see more about ColdFusion, don’t be surprised.

Hal sips the Ruby Kool-aid
I’ve long been a fan of Hal Helms. He’s a great teacher, thinker, and “coach” of ColdFusion. I learned a lot of my good coding habits from reading his newsletter. Although I’m not doing much CF anymore, I still read it. In his most recent newsletter, he notes that his study of Ruby is shaping his view of CF. In fact, he’s gleaning from Ruby:
I also began studying Ruby, a language that is unabashedly dynamically typed and fully object-oriented. After being immersed in that heady world for a bit, I emerged to again work with ColdFusion. This time, though, undoubtedly influenced by Ruby, I decided to dispense with the pseudo-strong typing.
Go Hal. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to more on this.
