CFWheels, an Open Source Framework for ColdFusion
CFWheels is a ColdFusion framework inspired by Ruby on Rails. It has a very thorough get started tutorial to get you started with using CFWheels on its website. The URL format of the framework is pretty much like CodeIgniter PHP framework, example.com/index.php/news, except it’s index.cfm instead of index.php. Since it’s open source, I’m able to see its source code.
CFWheels uses CF Components, which is ColdFusion method of Object Oriented Programming (OOP). I’m happened to be learning UDF (User Defined Functions) and Custom Tags for ColdFusion in college. Therefore it’s a perfect opportunity to learn the ColdFusion Component which is the next step of UDF and Custom Tags.
There are also many useful documents and tutorials on the CFWheels website. It has 10 episodes of video tutorials and offers online version and PDF version of its Reference Guide and Wheels API documents. Overall, it’s easy to get started to using this framework. However, I’m still struggled with completely using ColdFusion on GNU/Linux.
