A concerted effort |
| by Neil Middleton 1:49 pm Friday, 28 April 2006. |
Recently, I have been neglecting my blog somewhat, mainly due to spending too much time working on the feed-squirrel main site.
Well, not I am hopefully going to have a little more time to talk CF now, so you should start seeing more from me.
Oh, happy days I hear you cry.

The Stealth UK Community… |
| by Neil Middleton 1:34 pm . |
As you may or may not know, I trekked up to London last night's UK CFUG with one of my works new padawan CF developers. After seeing Mark D talk at length about the Model-Glue framework and Reactor, I head off back to the upper-class realms of paying the babysitter.
However, today I am confronted by something the feed-squirrel is telling me, namely who was at the same meeting who is also an active contributor to the UK blogosphere. I knew Mark D was there, obviously, and I also saw Andy Jarrett (the offers still there Andy ;-)) sat down at the front, but other than that, everyone else was a unrecognisable face. Well as it turns out Nick Tong, Kola Oyedeji, Neil Roberts, Martin Laine and Alistair Davidson also made a show, most of which I have exchanged email with in the past at some point.
Tell you what guys, next time, let's get some name badges sorted out, or have some sort of introduction session going. It seems silly us not knowing each other is there. (On the other hand, stick a mugshot on your blog if you haven't already to at least give people a fighting chance.)

UKCFUG Meeting Tonight - Reactor and Model Glue |
| by Niklas Richardson 9:28 am Thursday, 27 April 2006. |
Don’t forget that it’s the UKCFUG monthly meeting tonight. Mark Drew (of CFEclipse fame) will be giving a presentation on Model Glue with Reactor. It’s at City University as usual.
Should be a great meeting.
Unfortunately, I’m in Edinburgh consulting with Adobe Consulting at the moment, so I won’t be there tonight. However, I’m leaving it in the capable hands of Mark! Thanks Mark!
I look forward to hearing all about it!

Model Glue and Reactor, a winning combination |
| by Neil Middleton 2:27 pm Monday, 24 April 2006. |
Just a quick reminder of the UKCFUG meeting this Thursday:
The Model Glue is a MVC (Model - View - Controller) based framework for ColdFusion applications. It provides a way to easily link your presentation layer (view) to your model layer by the use of controllers. Model Glue provides configuration and powerful control over over this “gluing” of your layers through XML files. Working along side it is the Reactor framework, a “Inline Dynamic Data Abstraction” API, which allows you to very quickly and easily access your database model without the need to write SQL or configure Data Access Objects.
In this presentation Mark Drew will be presenting what these frameworks are in detail (and what they are not!) and also develop from scratch a blog application using these two frameworks to demonstrate the power and speed that you can gain in your development environment.
Where:
Room U215, City University, Northampton Square, (main campus entrance), London EC1V 0HB.
When: Thursday 27 April 2006
* Doors open: 1800
* Meeting starts: 1830
* Meeting ends: 2030
Directions:
By Underground: Angel (Northern Line - City Branch) or Farrington (Metropolitain and City Line). By Bus: Routes 4, 19, 30, 38, 43, 55, 56, 63, 73, 153, 205, 214, 243, 274, 341.”
If you're going, see you there.
