Hear Hear. You mean we should build what is best for the client, that we should solve the overall business problem in the most efficient manner, rather than building code as art? What a concept! Some applications cry for abstraction and objects. Others, do not need them. And you should always code (and comment) for readability for the next developer - not for what some define as elegance - like 12 nested functions. OK - back to my cave now.

Basically a way of giving each instance a unique number. For what reason? I have no idea. Much better ways to accomplish exactly the same thing. The app came out shortly after CFC's came about, so I think there was some irrational exuberance about objects in play. Some people have gotten over that mindset, and others have gotten even worse. Sometimes I long for the days when CF was actually simple. There are people in the community that are trying to make it as complex as Java. When CF reaches that point, I'll just quit doing it and write Java code instead. Why deal with a middle man if the coding is going to be equally hard? This isn't me ranting about a desire to get rid of CFC's, far from it, but I do think that not everything has to be an object and not everything needs to be some pristine example of OO genius. I find "necessary complexity" (meaning simplicity) to be far more elegant. _____ From: Cameron Childress <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, May 8, 2009 10:53:02 AM Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Encrypting URL Parameters I'll take your word on it. Let me guess - they are generating a UUID in the init() of every CFC, and instantiating a new CFC for each day, week, month, and event - and more. -Cameron On Fri, May 8, 2009 at 10:36 AM, shawn gorrell <[email protected]> wrote: > Download the open source version of CalendarInfusion and try it out.
