Now back to our regularly scheduled programming...
In this CFUN-04 interview, Michael Smith speaks with Sean Corfield, who will be
presenting on "Mach II at Macromedia" at CFUN.
Michael Smith: Sean, What exactly is Mach and why is it version 2?
Sean Corfield: It's actually called "Mach II" as in "Eye-Eye" and it's currently
version 1.0.9. It's an object-oriented application framework based on the Model-
View-Controller design pattern. The name seems to cause quite a bit of confusion
so I'll try to explain it: "Mach" is meant to make people think of breaking the
sound barrier - breaking out of the procedural mold and taking the step up to
object-oriented programming; "II" is a reference to the event-based implicit
invocation architecture on which the framework is based.
MS: Aha, that makes more sense. But what is invocation and why would I want to
do it implicitly and not explicitly?
SC: Invocation is really just a fancy word for TM: ... [The rest of this
interview is at http://www.cfconf.org/CFUN-04/news.cfm and in

Mach II at Macromedia by Sean Corfield
Mach II is an Object-Oriented, MVC-based application framework that implements
the Event-Based Implicit Invocation Architecture. Buzzword overload! This talk
will briefly introduce the audience to Mach II and then talk in more depth about
Macromedia's real-world experience with the framework.
Sean Corfield, Director of Architecture, Macromedia Sean has worked in IT for
over twenty years. He started out writing database systems (in assembler) and
compilers (in various languages, including COBOL!) before moving into mobile
telecoms and finally to the web about seven years ago. Along the way, he worked
on the ISO and ANSI C++ Standards committees for eight years but then turned to
Java (in '97) and gave up C++, although he still maintains one of the textbook
reference websites: C++ - Beyond the ARM.
Sean is a staunch advocate of software standards and best practice, having
written C++ coding guidelines for several companies during the 90's and more
recently maintaining the Macromedia ColdFusion MX Coding Guidelines which are
also published for the ColdFusion community. He has also given several seminar
talks, both in-house and publicly, on these subjects.
Recently Sean has become a staunch advocate of Mach II.
