First Entry...

As I've delved deeper and deeper into the OOP/CF community I've really become aware of several things:

  • The leadership, as it exists, is a fairly tight-knit and small community
  • The community is a grassroots movement
  • Quality and momentum are key to our future
  • Communication and exchange are the only way we're going to survive
As a result, I've been seriously considering starting a blog... simply to support the CF community and to engage on a deeper level with the OO community. With the advent of CFMX 6.1, and continued into the upcoming release of Blackstone, OO is going to be a more permanent, less escapable aspect of ColdFusion development.

Which isn't to say that there will never be a need for, nor a complete loss of, good old-fashioned CF5-style procedural code. I think. I'm new at this software architecture stuff. I suspect I could come up with a good argument for a one-off, ad-hoc CF site even with Blackstone. Trust me, I'm creative. But the days of pure top-down process with content modules delivered by inline custom tags and UDFs are going to fade... and we need to be keeping in touch with each other in this close-knit community, so that we can keep on top of all the information, changes, and skills that are going to be thrown at us in the next 6 months.

So I'll be posting my thoughts, feelings, studies, and findings here. If you want to read, read... if you disagree, leave comments. If you agree... PLEASE, leave comments.

Here's to hoping for a fantastic and lucrative 2005!

Laterz,
J
