Happy New Year from cfframeworks.com! It has been a bit quiet over the past few weeks on cfframeworks, but we're back and we kick off this year with a series of interviews with figures from the ColdFusion community who are are involved in and are known for their work within ColdFusion frameworks. This week we have an interview with Brian Rinaldi. Brian is the manager of the Boston CFUG and is also an Adobe Community Expert. Brian can usually be found blogging on Remote Synthesis (http://www.remotesynthesis.com/blog/) where he also maintains a list of ColdFusion open source projects including many of the popular ColdFusion frameworks. Brian has used a number of ColdFusion frameworks including: ColdSpring, Transfer ORM, Reactor,Model Glue and Mach-II In this interview Brian talks about Mach-II,ColdSpring and Transfer and also the difficulty of transitioning from procedural to Object Orientated programming. He discusses how he started off developing an OO application how he gradually began to see problems that frameworks such as ColdSpring and Transfer solved. This was our first (raw and unscripted) interview and there is a bit of a noticeable delay as it is conducted transatlantic. I'm sure we'll get better with practice. This interview runs to just over 35 minutes. Finally if you're involved in the support, maintenance or development of any of the existing or even a new ColdFusion frameworks - we would love to interview you too. Drop us a line.
