I use both Mach-II and Coldspring. I must get around to testing out Mark's code a bit more as last i looked at it did have some nice pluses attached to it.
I have no clue as to what the hell Joe's up to with Model Glue.. i think that guy just creates frameworks for the sake of it vs attacking the problems at a niche level. It's like a mutated version of Coldspring, Mach-II and Fusebox mixed with some Cairngorm bits to flow into the Flex side of things.. If there was a heavy duty CF IDE on the market right now that tapped deeper into CF, Model-Glue would probably fade away yet I suspect Mach-II and Coldspring could still stick around. As whilst they are a framework, they do essentially hold themselves together without having a IDE take over some of the heavy burden. The one probable hurt point for Mach-II is maybe the XML getting verbose, but when I alst spoke to the planning team about this we kind of agreed at the time (before it went all corporatised) that a tool could again, handle this burden. I'm not convinced that framework ontop of CF is the complete answer, i think there needs more smarts placed in tooling to compliment CFML. I'm sure their will be complaints :) On Sun, Jun 29, 2008 at 11:37 PM, Mark Mandel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I hadn't seen that one before! cool! > > This is still one of my favourite articles on common framework patterns, > and how they can be applied: > > http://www.remotesynthesis.com/blog/index.cfm/2007/2/27/Mach-II-or-ColdSpring-Understanding-the-Differences-Between-ColdFusion-Frameworks > > Mark > > On Mon, Jun 30, 2008 at 4:27 PM, Barry Beattie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > >> >> this seems to be timely on this topic: >> >> >> http://www.12robots.com/index.cfm/2008/6/29/MVC--IoC--ORM--Amazing-learning-experience-and-a-lot-of-fun >> >> "It's been coming along nicely, yet slowly, as I learn and rework >> things.
