Docs for New Features Available – Model-Glue 3 Beta 1!

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

Guess what!  The model-glue framework just released a beta of version 3!

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’ve been having fund helping the team to organize and publish documentation for the new features in version 3.  I am really impressed with how fast I’ve been able to get up to speed with this framework with only a few spare minutes per night and a little reading.

This framework lets parts of your application quite literally write themselves.  Customize the results and only write from scratch only when necessary.  Less busy work, more results, oh yeah!

New features include:

  1. Bean Injection
  2. Typed Events
  3. Event Generation
  4. Event.copyToScope()
  5. Search Engine Safe Urls
  6. Application.CFC Integration
  7. Content Caching
  8. Helpers
  9. Formats
  10. Remoting

A summary list of these features can be found at http://docs.model-glue.com/wiki/NewFeaturesInMG3

Knee Deep in the Glue

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Model Glue for ColdFusionI’m taking an OOP in ColdFusion class taught by Dan Wilson and I recently found out about  his increased involvement with the Model-Glue framework.    Increased involvement may be a bit of an understatement but that isn’t the point.

I’ve built and maintained several FuseBox applications and it saves a lot of guesswork and headache when used correctly.  I like FuseBox and all but I have found myself thirsty for another option.   Dan mentioned to me that the next version of Model Glue needed some help in the documentation department.   Opportunity! What better way to learn something than to be in on writing the instructions??

…time passes…

Some weeks later I’ve crash coursed myself through the Model Glue 2 docs and written a couple of small and useless apps on my own. I am now highly qualified to idiot test the documentation as it gets written.   Fun stuff!

Model Glue 3 does some major time saving, I’m looking forward to building something large scale with it as soon as the opportunity arises.  I haven’t even glued my fingers together yet!

Keep an eye out for the Model Glue 3: Gestures release coming soon!
