Sean Corfield - Heresy! Embracing Duck Typing in CFCs

Posted At : June 12, 2007 12:00 AM | Posted By : Christian Ready
Related Categories: podcast

The conventional wisdom for working with CFCs is that you should provide returntypes and argument types for methods. This idea stems from working with strongly-typed languages such as Java and C#. What if, though, we accepted ColdFusion as a dynamically-typed language, such as Smalltalk or Ruby? This talk explores the problems "duck typing" solves and the new possibilities it opens.

Douglas Reynolds's Gravatar In the interview, would that actually be an interview with Hal Helms or possibly S/B Sean Corfield?

Elliott Sprehn's Gravatar Originally Hal was going to give the presentation, but something came up and he was unable to attend CFUnited 2006. The interview was conducted with Hal before he learned he could not attend.

Sean, being awesome, stepped in and did the presentation instead.

Douglas Reynolds's Gravatar Right on, thanks - I heard Sean mention that he had to get things together pretty quickly in the presentation. Would not have known that it was last-minute-ish, great preso!
