Good morning, Could one of the guys who has done work with RoR work through the tutorials for PLUM? It seems to me the two have similar features. It would have to be someone who doesn't mind working on a windows machine (rules out Sean, who might be the best suited).
I really can't believe Ruby would be/could be quicker than PLUM. It might be more OO, but it can't be more RAD. Do the mappings, point plum at your database, spend an hour or so in the IDE and modifying the CSS files and tweaking the generated code...and a HUGE amount of work is done. You can have everything listed below, in less than 15 minutes, but to have it the way you really want it will take a few hours. But seriously, in a few hours you can have all the below, formatted the way you want it. Search, add, edit, delete, view and list pages for any table or group of parent/child tables, done. Qforms client side validation and server side validation, done. Complete security system, by module, page or page section, real simple real easy. Along with emailing lost passwords and the whole shebang, done. Verity search capabilities completely set up for you. With easy to add/update indexes, done. Plus easily generate unit testing and stored proceedures. Plus a ton of custom tags which make development of most pages a piece of cake. Plus, the flexibility to not use any of the custom tag on any page you need to do complicated coding for, Just put this line at the top of the page <cfmodule template="#Request.layout#/Header.cfm" pageType="pageType"> ( the pageType attribute determines layout and page level access) and the application security and CSS and qforms stuff is there for your page. I know this shows off my selfishness and insecurity more than I would like to admit, but I am really torn between trying to make sure everyone gives PLUM a good look and selfishly keeping this secret to myself. So pay attention, if you really want to see RAD, spend a day exploring PLUM. David and Adam Churvis have created quite a labor of love. www.productivityenhancement.com Mark ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:224018 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
