Bah. :) Procedural is faster. Hell, I can write a one-template blog app faster than I could download and configure Transfer and ColdSpring. It'd be a nightmare to expand down the road, but that's not the point.
In real life, I'd probably build my blog engine as a single CFC and do everything inline (or maybe just front BlogCFC). Then if needed, I could come back and reimplement individual methods (or the whole thing) with whatever was better suited to the new requirements (Transfer, Hibernate, Neat Technology Y). That sort of "half way" provides the most important layer of abstraction for a very minimal cost. As long as you've got the protection of abstraction, implementation doesn't matter, so pick the quickest one based on the information you have now (including anticipated future changes). But err on the side of simplicity until you know it's worth the extra effort. /me throws $0.02 cheers, barneyb On Mon, May 11, 2009 at 1:28 PM, Brian Kotek <[email protected]> wrote: > The main issue is the seemingly innocuous phrase "is going to stay that > way".
