Hi folks – Thanks for the info. I am lobbying to continue to do development in CF, specifically in Mach-II. We'll see where it goes. At the very least we'll run CF for a few more years undoubtedly, since we have existing apps built in CF that we don't want to refactor into PHP. (or at least *I* don't want to. ;-)
I think it's partly a matter of cost, and some sort of idea of the manager that more things are going the way of PHP these days. (WTF? Hard to know where that is coming from). We pay for 2 enterprise licenses now (2 virtual servers in a cluster, each with 4 virtual processors...), which is a fair bit of $. Additionally there have been some performance issues with CF, which I think is mostly a matter of poor coding on the part of previous developers. We are also bringing up WordPress and Drupal as services for the greater community, so those run under PHP, thus more efforts in that direction. I'll check out PHPUnit, it would be nice if there are some DI and MVC (and maybe even ORM) options too. We'll see how it plays out. I may be able to get the ability to continue to do new development in MachII for a while yet, hopefully. But just hedging my bets in case I have to make a wholesale switch sooner than expected. Thanks! -Ed (Matt, I took your Mach-II day-long class at CFUnited 2008, which is the best thing I got out of that conference.) >I'm not familiar with any PHP frameworks other than by name, but I'm always curious to hear why people switch away from CFML, so if you can share some of the rationale I'd be interested. Thanks. >Bear in mind, if it's because they want open source, they should seriously >consider OpenBD or maybe one of the other free, open source ColdFusion engines >:-) >Sorry not to answer your question - had to do a project in PHP once and still >trying to get over the trauma! Good luck finding whatever you need . . . I do >know things are getting better with PHP - stuff like PHPUnit is solid and I >believe there are a number of PHP DI frameworks. Not sure about mocking, ORM >or MVC frameworks, but I'm sure they're there . . .
