Mike Benner: Whew!!! MVC Conversion Underway

Whew!!! MVC Conversion Underway

Feb 27 by Michael Benner

Let me tell you changing frameworks is never easy. I have done it twice now. Once from a custom built internal framework to a "main stream" framework and now from an out dated framework to a "new" (at least for me) method and framework.

I think I am changing MVC from Model(database) View(layout) Controller(event handler)

to Many Versions Chaos. I don't mean this negatively, anymore ;) The truth is that Coldbox (my MVC Framework of choice) is not that hard itself, it is retraining my brain to function in the realm of its constructs. I think I have finally got it and better yet, I am a good way along changing over my scattered internal projects into one cohesive unit and all are wrapped up in Coldbox 2.5.2.

I haven't touch Transfer yet and am just beginning with plugins, but I finally grasp MVC and have been able to use it. I am struggling with settling on a login system (cflogin or a roll your own) as I am running into problems implementing them the way I would think it should be added.

Anyway, just wanted to give an update on the transition.
