[cfaussie] Re: Recommendations for a CF Framework.
@Dennis. I don't understand the FarCry hate. What version are you talking about? We have been running FarCry from when it was "just" a CMS but have recently made the jump to 6.1.3. I do get that it can be confusing to someone who is new to it. Even though the documentation still needs some more love, it has gotten a lot better. I recently went through the Developer Jump Start course (available from the FarCry wiki) and was blown away yet again at how powerful FarCry is when you start to dig into it. To someone learning to use FarCry (6+), make sure you have a good look at application.fapi. Especially application.fapi.getContentObjects(). @Zac. Depends if your using Friendly URL's. Also depends if you use aliases (which is way easier to work with). Cheers Mark On Feb 17, 2:15 pm, Dennis Clark wrote: > As others have said there are plenty of CF frameworks to choose from.

Re: [cfaussie] Re: Recommendations for a CF Framework.
Dale my view is this, if its a framework that is nice and complete it should remain quite future proof for the life of the app etc, also most developers should be able to pick up a framework quite fast if working on a preexisting app along side developers who can help them along for a week. This is how we currently do it with coldbox, in the last 9 months our team has grown from 4 to 30 and all new devs seem quite proficient within a week, however we have a policy of minimum 50% pair programming so this helps a lot. Scott, if you're only after a quick simple app that may grow a little I'd go with FW-1 if you're building something more full on I'd go with Coldbox, it has a great plugin architecture and a lot of plugins provided by the author, things like mockbox, wirebox (dependency injection) etc are really handy, also writing plugins for it is a breeze. It also has a lot of documentation which comes in more handy once you know the framework, I always prefer to learn the basics from pre-existing apps etc Welcome back to CF ;) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.

RE: [cfaussie] Re: cfchart
Tof, the quote I referred to was from the cf411.com page itself. Otherwise, thanks for all your feedback. It does help me to understand what some people think. /charlie From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:cfaussie@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of christophe albrech Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2012 10:53 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [cfaussie] Re: cfchart 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? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
