One of the things we'll be working with in the class next week is event driven programming. ... I find this approach has benefits and drawbacks. The drawbacks are inherent in the approach: it's decentralized. ... The benefits, though, are considerable. Adding functionality into a site is much, much simpler. Maintenance is easier. Testing is easier. ...

Another reason to attend Hal Helms' training class!

Event-Driven Programming! You already knew I was a fan of this approach - that's why I wrote Edmund, after all - now Hal is going to cover this style of programming. From his blog post on event-driven programming:

Edmund at SacCFUG
February 10, 2009 · 3 Comments
I meant to mention this days ago: Pat Santora is presenting my Edmund framework at the Sacramento CFUG tonight. Short notice but if you're in the area, go along and hear Pat talk about event-driven programming in ColdFusion. Pat is a contributor to the Edmund project and has created a new presentation focused on CFML examples using Edmund. Thank you Pat!

I'm working on a specification suite with Pat Santora, who recently joined the Edmund Event-Driven Model project as a contributor (more on that shortly), and we're using cfSpec to define the expected behavior of Edmund.

More MAX 2008 Sessions on Adobe TV
January 07, 2009 · 4 Comments
Adobe is continuing to put all of the MAX 2008 presentations up on Adobe TV (under the MAX channel). The audio was recorded directly from the in-room mic and the "video" is a screen capture of what was being presented and whatever technology they used to do it has produced a very nice way to watch every single MAX session for free (so I can now go back and watch the sessions I missed which I'd really wanted to attend!).
It seems that only two ColdFusion sessions are listed, one of which is
my Event-Driven Programming in ColdFusion session. The other is Rob Brooks-Bilson's Advanced ColdFusion Caching Strategies. Searching Adobe TV for ColdFusion turns up nine videos, six of which are part of the Adobe Developer Connection series from Adam Lehman and Ben Forta.
If you haven't checked out Adobe TV as a learning resource, there's definitely some good stuff up there.

2008 in review
January 04, 2009 · 4 Comments
As "usual", I start the year with a round-up of the highlights of last year, based on things that I blogged. It's been a strange year for me. After (seven) years with Macromedia / Adobe and most of 2007 spent freelancing, I took a full-time job with a startup and hired some amazing CFers to be part of my team. I (finally) learned Flex (and AIR). I learned a new language (Groovy) and did a lot less CFML programming than I've done in years while at the same time joining first the Open BlueDragon Steering Committee and then the CFML Advisory Committee, as well as attending more ColdFusion-related conferences than usual (cf.Objective(), Scotch on the Rocks, CFUNITED, Wee Dram of Scotch, MAX).

More Flex?

I just received my final evaluation forms from MAX 2008. With the exception of one person who "Fell asleep during presentation. It was offensive.", the comments were mostly positive. There was, however, an interesting undercurrent...

CFUNITED - Event-Driven Programming in ColdFusion
April 15, 2008 · 3 Comments
I just got word from Liz at TeraTech that my Event-Driven Programming in ColdFusion talk has proved popular enough that it will be repeated on Saturday (yes, CFUNITED has posted its Saturday schedule!).
So come along and hear me talk at 1:30pm on Thursday (6/19) or 8:30am on Saturday (6/21)!

CFUNITED - My Interview
April 15, 2008 · 1 Comment
As is traditional, CFUNITED is publishing brief interviews with all of their speakers. My interview about event-driven programming in ColdFusion has just been published today. I mention Edmund briefly and I'll be blogging more about that in due course. Since the interviewed was "recorded" I have indeed started using Edmund at Broadchoice to manage the workflows in our scheduled tasks.
