Comments on: Coldfusion with Wheels gains traction http://www.technoclasm.com/2009/12/coldfusion-with-wheels-gains-traction/ A few thoughts about Coldfusion, Development and Life Wed, 19 May 2010 16:48:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Bruce http://www.technoclasm.com/2009/12/coldfusion-with-wheels-gains-traction/comment-page-1/#comment-142 Bruce Wed, 19 May 2010 16:48:08 +0000 http://www.technoclasm.com/?p=110#comment-142 @Martin, in mid-2009, I decided I wanted to learn Coldfusion MVC and OOP magic! At first, I picked ColdBox because it had excellent documentation. But, I quickly got lost anyway. Then, I looked at CFWheels, and it was perfect for me. Easy enough to get going quickly, and with a lot of great help via the Google Group list. Plus, since Wheels adapts and extends Rails for ColdFusion, I've found that I can often get great ideas for solving a CFWheels problem by Googling for the equivalent Rails solution! I used the Head First Rails book to learn CFWheels, and blogged about it some: http://www.resultantsys.com/index.php/category/cfwheels @Martin, in mid-2009, I decided I wanted to learn Coldfusion MVC and OOP magic!

The others are <a href="http://www.coldbox.org" rel="nofollow">ColdBox </a>and <a href="http://fw1.riaforge.org/" rel="nofollow">FW1</a>. note: I haven't used FW1 yet; it just fitted with the configuration comment you gave. All three use convention over configuration so you should be fine with any of them. I like the Rails approach; so Wheels is nice for me. I'm impressed by ColdBox's documentation, it really does cover everything. FW1 is the most lightweight of the three. It's up to you. None of them are bad It’s definitely one of the ones you should look at. The others are ColdBox and FW1. note: I haven’t used FW1 yet; it just fitted with the configuration comment you gave.

Is cfwheels the right framework for this purpose? The others seem to drown one in xml-configuration. Hi, i am a novice cf dev and need to learn all this mvc and oop magic.
