In this show we Talk about CFUnited and some things that came out of the conference. Dave makes several attempts to side track Mike but fails. Mike mentions his new bug (written in PHP). We continue our thoughts and comments about the CFML advisory board. We also introduce our new contest (listen to the show for details).

Also oAuth is for using twitter to give access via a token so you are not forcing users of you twitter app to provide.
http://cftwitterlib.riaforge.org is the library Dave was talking about its quite good at getting CF to talk to Twitters API via cfhttp.
Aug 21, 2009 at 1:20 PM Also oAuth is for using twitter to give access via a token so you are not forcing users of you twitter app to provide there username/password to you to then pass on to twitters API.
Sorry missed that in the first post

I feel compelled to fix the typo from "bug" to "blog". But in leaving it I think it makes it all the better.

Aug 23, 2009 at 9:50 PM Please talk about cf frameworks and the ones that you use. I hope that you guys use CF frameworks when you develop new applications.
**** It wouldn't surprise me though if you guys didn't use a framework. Sometimes Dave's remarks/comments make him seem lazy in his programming and he will probably say that the application that he supports is an older application and was written without a framework so it wouldn't be worth the effort to integrate one now. He just seems like an old dog that won't learn new tricks. So if that is that case, with his newer projects what does he use?
If nothing else please give your thoughts on ColdBox, Mach II, Model Glue, etc.
I'm a cf_noob and want your thoughts on what framework might give me the most opportunities to use in the future.
Thanks in advance.
Aug 26, 2009 at 7:58 AM hey guys,
I finally got around to listening to this episode. Thanks for discussing my comment from the last episode. Dave definitely makes some good points concerning his skepticism about the CFML advisory board. In the end, Adobe is a business and will do what’s good for their bottom line. Also, one could question how well the current board really represents the CF community. I mean – it’s not like they were elected by us. Also, who knows what will happen if Adam Lehman some day moves on and his successor has different views about the role of the advisory board.
I guess I chose to take a “glass half full” view on these issues, though. When the open source engines came out, my main concern was that CFML will “fork” in different directions and the formation of the CFML advisory board was definitely something that made me feel better about it.
Also, I want to clarify that it’s not _MY_ belief that people won’t blame Adobe if they’re not happy with something about the CFML spec. I agree with Dave that people will blame whoever they want. I just pointed out that it was a reason that _Adam Lehman_ gave for wanting to comply with the spec.
