My first cfwheels plugin - ioc interface

I decided to play around with cfwheels cause I was amazed by some examples I saw around and I have to admit is good fun.

After 1 hr testing I realized that no ioc support is build into cfwheels and ..... I really cannot live with no Ioc container available at any time so I decided to add a plugin for managing a beanFactory into cfwheels.

Probably is not the best cfwheel plugin ever written but was very easy and painless. While I tend to be very OO guy I am amazed by conventions in last period ( I am also playing with Sean Corfield FW1 ). While I am also an happy user of Coldbox and ModelGlue I find that sometimes frameworks added complexity also to easy tasks. From here my desire to look into frameworks that make of conventions their core basement.

In my mind conventions means less code in default situations and about this cfwheels and fw1 at the moment are the best. Btw I also think that for a more complex task Coldbox really has something more to help development of more advanced applications.

You can find the plugin here to play with it and have a look to cfwheels.

ColdBox Book Released

I am a big coldbox fan and I am very glad to post about the release of the ColdBox Book. I am ordering a copy for me and, if you are serious about coldbox, I strongly recomend it.

Coldbox has always been very well documented and the book will surely be an interesting way to go deeply into coldbox framework.

Thanks to Luis for the hard job.
