Summary of recent blog posts / releases / news

Due to a flurry of activity this week/end (partly due to my wife being out of town and me being desperately bored on my own), I wanted to quickly get a summary of headlines into the group archives for posterity:

Jan 23rd, 2015 - cfmljure Release 0.1.0
http://framework-one.github.io/blog/2015/01/23/cfmljure-0-1-0/

Jan 24th, 2015 - FW/1 3.0 RC 1 Available
http://framework-one.github.io/blog/2015/01/24/fw1-3-0-rc-1-available/

Jan 25th, 2015 - FW/1 & Clojure Sitting in a Tree
http://framework-one.github.io/blog/2015/01/25/fw1-clojure-sitting-in-a-tree/

Expect some more big news this week, followed by another flurry of activity in early February (my wife's in Korea, judging a cat show).

Sean,

We should really try to get your wife to more cat shows! ;-)

As it looks like it will really be possible to mix and match CFML and Clojure going forward, here is what I'm tempted to seriously contemplate:

I've been developing a large app (for me) for the last several years to manage the employees, their schedules, the amount they should be paid based on the hours they have worked, the clients, the locations the employees should work at, the special jobs clients ask for, the amounts the clients should be invoiced and the invoices, and the subcontractors (and the amounts owed to them) for a large cleaning company. The plan is to sell this app as a service going forward. It's of course important to me that it is as reliable as possible. I'm not happy depending on CF ORM. It wasn't the best choice.

Changes over time are an important component of how work periods are managed. I'm currently doing this with an audit table that stores each change made to a given work period. It would be a significant challenge for me, given my skill level and the fact that I need to keep revenue flowing month by month ... but I would like to move the data to Datomic to gain the element of immutability and the possibility to query for changes over time that I need, and replace the current MySql / CF ORM data handling with Clojure, Datomic & datalog. 

Maybe as an interim step I should consider simply stripping the ORM portions out and converting them to Clojure. In any case, that's what I'm cooking on at the moment.

Well, this past weekend she was at a board meeting (she's a Regional Director for The International Cat Association), but I'll let her know you appreciate her absence... ;)

Very cool! Keep us posted on how you get on with this - and feel free to ask questions (as it relates to FW/1 and cfmljure, at least).

The "big news" was of course the launch of the Lucee open source CFML engine:

Jan 29th, 2015 - Lucee and FW/1
http://framework-one.github.io/blog/2015/01/29/lucee-fw1/

Next week I'll start work on wrapping up the FW/1 3.0 release. I will put out an RC 2 to verify that issue #283 is really fixed on Windows and then move to a "gold" release once folks have confirmed that.

For cfmljure, I'll cut an 0.1.1 release that includes ColdFusion 11 compatibility - courtesy of Andrew Myers!
