Today, Sean Corfield announced he'll be talking about Design Patterns in ColdFusion at MAX, a topic I'd recommend any attendee check out - whether or not you're a ColdFusion developer. In my talks with Sean about patterns, he's one of the people I see most eye-to-eye with, and I wish his thoughts on patterns were more widespread. I'm pretty certain his talk will not be thirty slides listing thirty patterns at a mind-numbing pace.
If you're looking for a more in depth session dealing with ColdFusion and Design Patterns, I'll be doing a full-day class called "Building ColdFusion Applications around Design Patterns" where we'll do the following (still in draft, may change!):
- Talk about what design patterns aren't
- Learn what design patterns really are by following a few weeks in the life of Bob the developer
- Iteratively revise "Stuff," a procedural, spaghetti-coded document management application into a lean, pattern-based application ready to re-use with Model-Glue, Flex, or AIR.
- Free-form explore your own OOP, OOD, and pattern situations.

Idea: you and Sean could start a peepcode type site for ColdFusion developers wanting to learn more about patterns, OO, Model-Glue, AIR, all the good stuff. You could even donate proceeds to charity, or CF community causes.I love reading both of your posts, but a 60-90 minute developed screencast with ColdFusion pros? Killer.
Ray Camden would have the site up in 2 hours : )
Seriously. It would be awesome.
