Just a little sing song for all the people who have helped and taught me things about ColdFusion and CFEclipse along the way.
THANK YOU!

Last night MG saved my life
May 13, 2006 ·
Ok, a bad put for a headline, but I have to give a massive thank you to Joe Rinehart. His Model Glue framework has literally saved my bacon this week. He also gave me some great pointers over the last three days, standard stuff really but during the heat of battle he clarified how it should work very nicely.
I have done my first commercial (i,e. paid for by a client at work) application in Model Glue. For this application (I cant say who its for or much about what it does yet) I had estimated would take me 5 to 7 days to build. Unfortunately another project got in the way and I had a hard deadline for this project which left me with THREE days to build it. I used MG and Reactor for this applicaiton, starting on wednesday and I got it finished, with tweaks and testing by friday at 6pm, with enough time to go down the pub.
The experience of being able to do a well structured, documented application in three days, all the while knowing you havent "Kludged" or put things together with bits of string to make the deadline is a very good sensation.
So a massive hats of to Joe Rinehart and also to Doug Hughes for the two frameworks that are a REAL time saver.
On a side note, I made some modifications to CFEclipse as I mentioned before, and even though they are not production ready or fully featured, the component insight has helped a hell of a lot with this project.

Podcasting just for you
May 02, 2006 ·
From ... me! I am now going to be doing some podcasts mainly presenting CFEclipse and Coldfusion notes and rambles, plus other things I hope. This is mainly a way of publishing some of the presentations that I have been doing so there will be video podcasts (vodcasts) as well as your "standard" voice based ones.
The first podcast that you can get by susbcribing to the link under RSS & Podcasts on the second pod on the right, has the first part of my Model-Glue presentation at the UK CFUG.
If you use iTunes (which I recomend!) copy the link and use the Advanced -> Subscribe to podcast menu item and paste in the following RSS feed: http://markdrew.libsyn.com/rss. The nice thing about the first podcast is that it gives you all the slides within the podcast as well as links to each of the items (this works well in iTunes)
Let me know what you thnk and submit any ideas of what you would like to have on the podcast!
(you can of course, go straight to the podcast by clicking here)

CFUG: Model Glue, Reactor and you
April 28, 2006 ·
First off, a big thanks to the people that come to the UK CFUG last night. It was a nervous presentation for me since:
a) I am not an expert on the subject
b) Niklas (the host) wasnt going to be there as he is up in Edinbrugh
c) I had rushed the presentation off the previous night
But it all turned out ok in the end.
As has been requested I am making available the presentation and the little blog application I created to demonstrate Model-Glue and Reactor. If you are downloading the blog application intending to use it, dont. It was just to demo a few aspects of the frameworks.
After the weekend I shall sort out a podcast of (some) of the presentation, I really need to figure out how to record more than one hour (the max it seems for Garageband), or make my presentations smaller!
In the zip, apart from the template site you can also find the FormUtil.cfc component that I created to quickly build a form from a Reactor record object, it isnt feature complete as I mentioned in the presentation, but it should give you some ideas on how to improve it (and if you want to improve it, send me the changes!!!)
If you want to know how to use this, its fairly simple, you instantiate the FormUtils with the reactor object, and then you can get the string content for a form by calling the getFields method, passing in the table name and the Reactor record object:
It was also really great to finally meet up with a couple of people who's blogs I have been following a lot in person, so a big hello to Andy Jarett (have a great time in Mexico!) and Alistair Davidson (Instant Badger-cooler in shades, but very funny fella!).
I might be doing another CFUG in the future about ColdSpring and Model Glue if people are interested. We are also looking for other topics to do presentations about, so any ideas are always welcome!
