>> is cfObjects a work-around for clients who are committed to CF?
Yes, CFO is simply a way to allow people who already use ColdFusion to
implement OO features. It obviously has other benefits simply than
making an OO-comfortable person happy with their CF development. It
would work perfectly in this situation for the same reason. ColdFusion
has been decided as the language of choice. The ColdFusion vs.
'compiled OOP language' decision is already over.
>> Is there a real advantage...?
In that light, the real advantage is that web site development in
ColdFusion becomes much more powerful, just in the same way the
introduction of OOP made compiled languages and applications more
powerful. All the same benefits apply.
>> Have you done any work beyond simply making Cold Fusion OO?
No, that's basically been the effort of the cfObjects framework.
However, we did implement a nice XML-based documentation feature about 6
months ago and added an event-based system. The whole reason I hopped
on board with it is because I came from a VB, C++, and Java (later on)
background. Given the choice to work in QuickBasic or VB6 for a 3-tier
accounting application, which would you choose? The choice is obvious.
Is cfObjects always needed? Of course not, that's ridiculous to assume.
Is Fusebox always needed? I must say yes to that, but in a different
way. People must always have a methodology for developing an
application. Whether it's Fusebox, Chuckbox or Kylebox doesn't matter.
As long as they see the benefit of having a well documented, manageable
process. Fusebox is a fantastic starting point for people who don't
have something in place yet.
Man, I need more coffee....
