I know very little about Rails, but I, also, am very unenthused about having DB schemas as the progenitors of application models.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Ross Sent: Thursday, September 22, 2005 8:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Fwd: Re: [CFCDev] Ruby on Rails for CF John quoted the following, but I'm reposting because I sent it to him instead of the list: I like Rails, it's quite impressive when you first see how easy it is to build an app. Still, I just have this feeling like I'm doing something wrong when I let a database dictate the model. Maybe it's just something you get used to, I don't know. One thing you have to remember is that generating xml is as easy or even easier to generate than code is. I could see a lot of use in a code-generation framework, like Rails, that was versatile enough to fit in with existing cf architectures. The closest we have to rails right now is Plum... but Ideally, I'd like to see something that: -offered a robust database persistance strategy (and I'm convinced that this, if done in cfml, *has* to be done w/ code generation) -offered controller & view generation with a decent api... I could see controller plugins for Mach-ii, MG, FB, etc, and then the same for wiring things up w/ Chilibeans, Tartan, Coldspring, etc. I also sympathize with Barry... I'm pretty much used to working with disparate data or systems... things that require care everywhere. -Dave >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/22/05 3:00 PM >>> I am here again trying to find out who would be interested in getting some of the benefits for this app in the CF world. If anyone is interested in a community project please let me know... thanks. John Farrar ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
