Well, festivities kicked off tonight with the registration and reception.
Nothing major happened, except that Dave and I confirmed once and for all that Mark Drew did not really hire Carlo Rota to narrate CFEclipse.tv. Hear that John P?
Granted, that's not really major.
Squidhead is swimming along nicely. I've gotten some good suggestions, over the last few weeks, and figured I would post what's going on.
Dave Konopka, who works with me here at Wharton, has a pretty good complaint about Squidhead. Basically his complaint is that there needs to be another layer between the DAO and UI. We've taken to calling it the Business layer. Basically, many times his basic interaction with the database requires more than just one DAO operation, and often other operations not related to the database (logging, email, etc.) So to achieve perfect encapsulation and reusability through the application, he requires the business layer.
He provided me with a good bit of code for it, which will create Business beans for any of the DAO operations. Additionally it abstracts the whole "Is it an add or is it an update" logic, making the UI have to do less work.
I've added the business CFC creation routine to Squidhead and am working on rewiring the UI to use it. It will be optional, so that existing applications don't break, but it will be set to the default way of doing stuff.
Finally, I did get some requests for Fusebox integration, and MySQL compatibility. I'm working on those, but Dave's in my office, so he gets to sell me this stuff right to my face.
All the cool kids are doing it, so I figured I would share my cf.Objective schedule with the world. The twist is that I extracted it from my Outlook calendar using the new Exchange tags in Scorpio. I've included the code below.
