The Coldfusion Blog Tutorial

There may well be one out there, but I didn't look too hard.

Today, snowbound at home, I am adapting the CakePHP blog tutorial to Coldfusion. The only difficulties will be that cakePHP & MVC makes a lot of things very easy, but doing it in CF is going to be very 'hands on'. At least I'll get a lot of low-down experience with CF.

If it proves to be interesting or useful and if I have the time or the inclination, I may well publish it for the benefit of other CF newcomers.

Coldfusion

It's been a while since I wrote anything, but that doesn't mean I haven't done anything. I've been head down wrapping up a CakePHP CMS before I changed jobs. Now I'm a Coldfusion developer. WTF? I've never used it but working through the tutorials it seems really straightforward. I guess the hard part will be letting go of MVC. Of course, someone has cooked up an MVC framework for CF, but there's too much legacy in my new job to even think about it.

I'll still be doing the CakePHP stuff as well as I have one or two personal projects and, for a smalltimer, hosting Coldfusion is just too expensive.
