Scotch on the Rocks 2010 – Day Two
ColdBox Platform 3.0.0 : Developing Sustainable ColdFusion Applications - Luis Majano (Ortus Solutions) As a firm believer in roll your won code I’ve always viewed large frameworks with some suspicion. Especially when Mike in his caching session pointed out that a framework with 1000’s of CFCs before you even start writing your own code is chewing into much needed heap space.Scotch on the Rocks 2010 – Day One
Keynote (Adobe) Terry Ryan kicked of the first day with an indy themed KeyNote. His initial demo was of a very impressive ColdFusion builder extension. Apptacular is a code generation system that runs natively from within CFBuilder and was demoed as being able to wire up CRUD from a DB (with smart table renaming for your CFCs and methods) and a massive amount of functionality that reduced initial project setup time from a few hours to about 20 seconds. It's not everyone's cup of tea given that a lot of CF devs will use a frame work of some sort to speed up the inital development process but Apptacular was certainly an impressive demonstration of CFBuilder's extensibility and adds massive value to the IDE.Scotch on the Rocks 2010 - The slightly emotional preamble.
Scotch on the Rocks is done and done! I'm back home and relaxing the glow of 2 (and a bit) days spent learning stupid amounts of cool stuff, meeting even cooler people and doing it all in one of the coolest conferences I've ever had the good fortune to attend.
