CF ORM
Seth Bienek
Hey Y’all,
With our June meeting coming up next Wednesday, Billy Cravens speaking on advanced ORM and all, I found it timely and interesting what the Dallas CFUG is doing… See Dave Shuck’s post to their discussion list below.
Any thoughts from y’all on “homework” like this?
Take Care,
Seth

Subject: [DFW CFUG] Homework for the July meeting
As was discussed at the June monthly meeting, we are going
to start a new concept in which we hand out a "homework assignment" to
the group to work on for the next meeting. Then instead of having a
training topic in the first our, we will use that time to review and discuss
various participants' approaches to solving the problem. By no means is
the homework mandatory, but you will likely get out of this exercise what you
put into it.
For the first stab at this I thought that CF ORM would be a great topic.
As I told the group, I would provide a "spec" of sorts so that we
would all be viewing the same end result, and the discussion would hopefully be
limited to how we got there more than what we actually created. For this
example, I suggested the idea of an overly simple blog where we can create
entries and entries can have comments. I am attaching a dummy HTML template
for our finished product. Please note, this is intentionally plain and
ugly. I want the focus of this to be on the CFML, not the fancy
client-side stuff that we can add in, as will be addressed in the requirements
listed here:
- No user authentication. We will just assume that if you are on the page you can create an entry.
- No ajax will be used. For the comment form and for the new entry form, make them a separate CFML template. Again, the intent here isn't on slick UI, but rather a clear way to separate the work for demonstration purposes.
- There are only two objects in the model: Entry and Comment. An Entry will have a 1-n relationship to Comment
- No frameworks. Keep it raw! :)
Attached is the sample HTML that you will use for your
blog. Based on the example data you will see that Entries are ordered by
descending creation date, and Comments are ordered by ascending creation
date.
Please reply to this thread for any comments of discussion on the assignment
and most of all... have fun! It will be interesting to see what everyone
comes up with.
