COOP - A Framework That Thinks Like ColdFusion, with John Farrar
COOP is the most ColdFusion-like Framework to date (and yet, if you use another framework, note that COOP works with or separate from other frameworks). ColdFusion gives the power to simplify your code by moving your processing completely off your markup page if you choose. Let designers work in a processing free page while developers still have complete access to the markup page through a object-oriented structure. If you like MVC you will live COOP. If you don't like MVC you will say along with a developer we met at Chicago CF United, 'Finally, an MVC that makes things simple.' (This technology can be used as a stand-alone technology or inside other Frameworks like Fusebox.)

In this practical introduction to object orientation with ColdFusion components, well-known trainer Hal Helms will lead you through the architecting and coding of a project using CFCs. Along the way, we'll cover UML class diagramming, Model-View-Controller applications, and best practices for working with CFCs. If you're unsure of how to use CFCs in your applications -- or simply want to better integrate them into your applications -- this long session will help you.
Audio of presentations given at CFUnited, plus interviews with conference attendees, speakers, and more. Hosted by Christian Ready.

By the way, some people have asked about Frameworks Conference. Well, we haven't found a good time to do one yet or a location. We hoped the turn out last year would have been better but we were a little disappointed. Maybe for 2009 we will make some changes and find a fun location. For now, please enjoy the Frameworks Track at this year's CFUnited. Lots more to come!
