Title: MVCF at benorama.com
OK,
after looking at his documentation, I can give some more feedback on
this.
This
is exactly (90 percent) on how I have been coding with CFMX. I would suggest
reading it. I have had no problems. Pay close attention to Part 3, as to get the
full power from CFMX this is what I found to be best. This type
of methodology has proved invaluable to me as the last site I created I had
some problems with CFMX and com objects, so I had to resort to ASP.net to help
me complete the application. This was very easy to do without changing my
project in any way. I am going to continue much like this in my coding practices
as integration to other programming languages that support SOAP, etc. are easily
called and used within.
At my
current job we are rebuilding an application and he wants to use FB and CFMX. I
have tried to advise against it, for reasons I am sure you already understand,
and tried to give him some insight of my coding practices that I have learned
works best on CFMX. With this documentation I will present him with this and
hopefully we will be going over it with a fine toothed comb and possibly move
more to this type of methodology.
The
few things I do not use in his methodology are things such as the configuration
being placed in an XML document, which is a pretty good idea and not sure why I
didn't.t think of it. A great idea as for what I have been doing is including
the configuration options, such as administrators email, etc... using CFINCLUDE.
This would be easier to parse out I think and would not waste any app time by
and only calling on them when they are needed, as they are held in the
application scope.
I am
impressed. It is almost like someone has been watching over my shoulder or I
have been sharing his thoughts, lol. The only thing I have not been doing thus
far is the XML application configuration and his folder naming conventions,
etc....
Give
it a shot, I think you will be impressed at the ease of management, the reuse of
code, the speed of the application and the easy integration for using other
languages, something that may be important if you are not just a CF shop or
possibly want to use some of those cool ASP com objects that you can not seem to
get to work in CFMX (Like the MS Word object, ugh)
Thanks!

Has anyone looked really hard at this one? What are
everybody's thoughts on this?
I'm looking for a replacement to Fusebox 3 for MX - FBMX is
too slow coming, and probably won't make much sense anyway (I'm guessing it'll
be quite obfuscatory and rather difficult to implement the first five to ten
times).
He's put together quite a presentation, and he about has me
convinced, if only I can simplify the structure a bit. I'm trying to find the
right methodology for my team here to use, and they're NONE of them big
methodology-users.
Anyway, just haven't seen any threads about this, and wondered
if you folks had anything to say on the subject.
Which of course you must; you always do. ;)
Thanks,
ecd.
