We're using Mach-II, Coldspring and Reactor in combination. If I was coming to the whole scene without previous experience I'd be tempted to swap out Mach-II for Model-Glue for the reasons Greg states.
Trying to dive into using all 3 in one hit is probably a bit challenging. Maybe start with an MVC framework Mach-II or MG) and build a little sample app (address book or blog), then add in Coldspring and then Reactor. Be ready to rewrite the app several times before it all looks right. I found Reactor to be pretty intuitive after you get going with it, maybe having done some RoR stuff helped me know what to expect. Coldspring is probably the simplest but it too the longest for the idea to actually make sense to me. I've been using Mach-II for 2 or 3 years so I'm pretty comfortable with that one but it was a challenge when I first picked it up. Reactor is easy to get into because it makes your life easy and saves you writing a lot of code. Mach-II on the other hand can feel like its making you do lots more work, but from experience I've been really glad I've done it when it comes time to modify the application at a later date. -- Mark Stanton Gruden Pty Ltd http://www.gruden.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
