some sort of a quick informal reference (more on the concept side) for
various development teams. Meantimes, tools like yours (just took a quick
peak, looks very interesting, more on the implementation side) would be
additions to this goal.
That's how Plum started. We looked at every concept involved in great
design, team development, process engineering, and application lifecycle;
then we looked at how to prevent ourselves from duplicating our efforts on
every project; then we added greatly enhanced versions of ColdFusion
development tools we'd built in the past.
I also formalized a methodology I had previously invented for rapidly
gathering application requirements and distilling them into actual
development specs that all parties could understand and incorporated that
into Plum. So we finally had our Big Three: a framework, a methodology, and
a rapid application development tool that could read a database and
automatically create most of the source code needed for the base
application.
Discussions like the one you brought up are exactly what this community
needs. Our goal is to take input from ColdFusion developers and incorporate
what they want into the product, and this discussion is a good place for us
to look.
PS-- Plum will be free to everyone.
