Hey Charlie,

Instead of having a just list of things, have you considered making it a
little app where developers can comment and rate each item like the review
system on amazon? Maybe even a rating system like ebay with 3-5 rows of
star (price, ease of use, responsiveness...) That might give it a bit more
traction, especially if you can order items by category and rating. Fuck
dude, make it a mobile app ;-)

Don't go thinking people don't appreciate your efforts buddy, I'm sure
everyone on here's either watched some of your recorded preso, or clicked
on a link on cf411 (which is a poor name I think, because no one outside of
the US would have a goddamn idea what 411 refers to, let alone remember
it). do you have google analytics on it, so you can see who goes there and
how often?

Cheers,

Tof

P.S.: Sorry about all the swearing. This is Oz, that's what we do :-D

 Thanks, Brett. That’s an…interesting…way to look at it. :-) I suppose I
 see that benefit.

 And if at least others did mention it when such questions came up, I’d be
 happy to see that. Otherwise it seems I’m usually the only one (on this and
 other lists), even when I wait a couple of days to see if anyone else does.
 That’s a bit disheartening—and may even make some think that no one else
 knows or cares about it. I appreciate your (and Peter’s) kind regards then
 all the more.

 As for your appreciating that you hear from others offering alternatives
 when someone asks if there are any, I’ll note this: certainly if someone
 asks folks to share their experience working with alternatives (not just
 “what are alternatives”), then that’s when it makes sense for folks to
 share individual alternatives, with added opinion, since I don’t offer that
 on the category lists.

 But when someone just asks, “what are alternatives for x”, it would just
 be nice to see someone point out (in addition to any they may favor) that
 “you can find more alternatives in that category at cf411.com”. :-) Not
 everyone reads every message in every thread, so I’m sure there are always
 some who would not already know about it. Thanks for letting me vent  for a
 minute, folks. :-)

 For myself at least there is a huge finge benefit to people NOT going
 directly to CF411.com and that is that I get to hear and learn about these
 really useful tools before I actually need them... Plus I get reminded
 about the site as well.

 Thanks for the great resource Charlie. It might not be top-of-mind but it

RE: [cfaussie] Re: cfchart

2012-02-16 Thread charlie arehart
Thanks, Christophe. Yes, I have long wanted to improve the CF411 site to be
more than just a long list. I mention that in the 2nd paragraph-meaning, I'm
well aware of the opps for improvement. :-)

I look to improve this interface over time, adding RSS feeds for when I
add/change items, perhaps enabling comments per tool/resource, etc. We'll
see.

The good news is that this work is in fact underway. Can't say when, but it
will eventually be very different and I hope therefore to be more effective
(I should add to that list, social networking integration to make it easier
for others to share their observations about it to others, etc.) A mobile
app is an interesting idea, sure. Thanks for that. Will be much easier after
a redesign. I also hope to have separate landing pages per category and
tool-which may also help with SEO, as well as to then add better searching.

Thanks for the general encouragement about my resources. 

As for the fact that 411 is not a universal concept, it's a fair point but
I'm not sure I want to rebrand now. I kind of hope that most in the CF world
would at least be familiar with the term, since so much else about CF has
tended to be US-centric (for better or worse). 

As for analytics, honestly, I don't bother with them. I have in the past,
but I suspect like most people, I'd look at it, think, that's interesting,
and move on, not knowing much I can do with the info. I suppose you're
saying that if I saw that lots of people were visiting, that should give me
some comfort about its reach, and that may well do so. But my point here in
this thread was really about how few people seem to mention it, when the
specific questions of what are alternatives for x come up. It just seems
that unless people spread the word, it would remain a domain of the
cognoscenti. :-) 

But back to your original points, yes, perhaps if I improve both the look
and feel, add RSS feeds, make it easier to sharing things on social
networking, etc., that will help make it more visible.

As others have said there are plenty of CF frameworks to choose from. One
that hasn't been mentioned yet is FarCry. As a CMS it works well, but one
non-scientific study found a strong correlation between prolonged exposure
to FarCry and excessive use of expletives such as f**k, c**k, and
dogr***er. The study was unable to prove or disprove causation, but
recommends developers exposed to FarCry exercise caution and be on the

Hope that helps,

Ah ok. Sorry your quote must be from a previous email and I had only read
the latest one.

 As for 411, I understand that it is too late now to rebrand, but I don't
entirely agree with the following assumption:  I kind of hope that most in
the CF world would at least be familiar with the term. I grew up in
France, have lived in Australia for nearly 10 years, and spend about 1.5
years in the US in the middle. Still, when I read your email yesterday I
had to look up 411. I'll go further, I have no idea what the number is here
either. My phone's got google, so why waste my time talking to someone :-)

Finally, yes that's what I meant with google analytics. Have you also
considered the fact that people don't mention your site because they are
well aware you spend time on various mailing list and are most likely to
chime in anyway?

 has tended to be US-centric (for better or worse).

 As for analytics, honestly, I don’t bother with them. I have in the past,
 but I suspect like most people, I’d look at it, think, “that’s
 interesting”, and move on, not knowing much I can do with the info. I
 suppose you’re saying that if I saw that lots of people were visiting, that
 should give me some comfort about its reach, and that may well do so. But
 my point here in this thread was really about how few people seem to
 mention it, when the specific questions of “what are alternatives for x”
 come up. It just seems that unless people spread the word, it would remain
 a domain of the cognoscenti. :-)

 But back to your original points, yes, perhaps if I improve both the look
 and feel, add RSS feeds, make it easier to sharing things on social
 networking, etc., that will help make it more visible.

 Hey Charlie,


 Instead of having a just list of things, have you considered making it a
 little app where developers can comment and rate each item like the review
 system on amazon? Maybe even a rating system like ebay with 3-5 rows of
 star (price, ease of use, responsiveness...) That might give it a bit more
 traction, especially if you can order items by category and rating. Fuck
 dude, make it a mobile app ;-)

 Don't go thinking people don't appreciate your efforts buddy, I'm sure
 everyone on here's either watched some of your recorded preso, or clicked
 on a link on cf411 (which is a poor name I think, because no one outside of
 the US would have a goddamn idea what 411 refers to, let alone remember
 it). do you have google analytics on it, so you can see who goes there and
 how often?

 Cheers,

 Tof

 P.S.: Sorry about all the swearing. This is Oz, that's what we do :-D

 Firstly, kudos for sticking it out with CF all these years! :)

 Secondly, I'm keen to brush the dust off my old CF skills and try it out
 again feeling more armed in the plethora of languages I've acquired over
 the
 years. That being said, I'm also keen to see what all the cool kids are
 using with regards to CF after market addons.

 Mach-II? or did i just show my age.

Oh yeah - and what sort of framework?

Model-View-Controller, Dependency Injection, ORM ?

What sort of application? What sort of frameworks are you used to? etc etc.

[cfaussie] Re: Recommendations for a CF Framework.

2012-02-16 Thread Dale Fraser
Well,

I'm only 1/2 serious however.

Find a framework that has more than 5 developers (so that you know it
will be supported and maintained)
Find one that has been around and used for 5 years (so that you know
it has longevity)
Find one that at least (25% of ColdFusion developers will already
know)

And when you find it let me know, because I'm still looking.

Or pick a popular one that everyone is using today that's been written
by one person and not many people understand

Then train your staff to use it and be prepared to rewrite your
application in 2 years.

Friday rant over (Sorry Peter Tilbrook I stole your job)
