I am very please to be able to tell you that Sean Corfield has agreed to come along to the TVCFUG on October 1st to talk about Design Patterns.

You can register for the meeting here.

Sean has been involved in ColdFusion since he began working for Macromendia a few years ago and has been involved with implementing Design Patterns in ColdFusion for most of that time. The first time I ever read about Design Patterns was in a peper that Sean had written on the standards being used for the Macromedia web site.

More recently Sean has been involved with updating the Fusebox framework and implementing a new CFC model for circuits in version 5.5 of Fusebox. And I know he also contributes to several other frameworks so he has a wide experience of the subject.

I am really looking forward to seeing him here in the UK and hearing him speak to our group.

The Future of CFScript

I wasd just reading some comments about the announcements yesterday on ECMAscript.

It seems that Adobe's attempt to make ECMAScript 4 standards based around AS3 have failed, which is a pity but understandable in the circumstances.

One of the comments on Josh's Blog was comparing Adobe (AS1, AS2, AS3, JSFL, MXML, Lingo, ColdFusion, etc etc) and Microsoft Languages (C#, Silverlight, ASP, XNA). This made me wonder what it would be like to have AS3 as an option in ColdFusion to replace CFScript. OK so I know we can already use AS3 in CF8 as a client language but what about the server?

Is there a need to standardise in this way? Do the things I want to do on the client have enough commonality with what I want to do on the server to use the same language?

What do you think?
