Intro to Model View Controllers in ColdFusion
February 15, 2011
Tomorrow, I'm speaking at the Bay Area ColdFusion User Group, giving my "Intro to Model View Controllers" presentation. If you...
...aren't sure what the Model View Controller is
...still think frameworks are kind of a lot of work and don't see the point
...started building some basic CFCs but still don't see a lot of benefit to them, etc.
...then this is the presentation for you! I was in the same point not too long ago. Frameworks like Model-Glue seemed like a lot of work, and I was unclear why I was going to all these "extra steps" to build a website. So I backtracked, and spent some time wrapping my head around design patterns (specifically, MVC) first, which was tremendously helpful. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be a lot of material out there for learning the MVC pattern, in ColdFusion, separately from a framework.
Hence, this presentation! :) Details are available at www.bacfug.org. Hope to see you there!
