I am writing some test apps using Transfer ORM, and trying to decide if I'm ready to take the plunge and use a framework for a new auction application. I'm starting from scratch, so now is the time to do it, but I worry that a steep learning curve to some of those MVC concepts will slow me down, when the customer needs to have a quick development turnaround.
I have watched the Transfer ORM presentation, read through Sean Corfield's presentation on different frameworks (I don't understand the difference between implicit and explicit invocation). I have been writing OO code for years now, and I enjoy the encapsulation that CFC's give me, but so far I have not been able to make the comprehensive leap to using frameworks. Mostly, due to a lack of understanding some of the terminology used. Did you just *click* one day and have MVC understanding flood in, or did you struggle like I seem to be doing? I am all about doing things right from the beginning, and I have a window of time to gain an understanding about these and I want to use it! So: What is a singleton? What does implicit / explicit invocation mean? What attributes does 'procedural' code have over any other code? What is an implicit event queue? Will the use of Transfer limit what framework I can operate in? Any help or description would be appreciated. I know I'm probably re-hashing a topic that has come up a lot, but the concepts just aren't clicking in my brain yet =( Chris ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
