Kay Smoljak is running a series of interviews with framework developers and has a
summary article on SitePoint that includes a survey of people's framework usage. It's going to be a great series of articles and makes interesting reading (FarCry and COOP have been covered so far with Fusebox, Mach-II, Transfer and ColdBox coming soon - and Model-Glue and ColdSpring et al to follow). The survey will only be open for a few more days so rush over and make your voice heard!

That's a question that crops up over and over again. I've
blogged about it in the past. My answer - as I'm sure most folks would expect - is "it depends". The question came up on a mailing list again the other day and someone jumped in full of praise for ColdBox and then someone else said "Sean would say it depends" and went on to plug
cf.Objective() as the "perfect place" to answer the question, wishing they could be there.
Here's what I said in response:

This year's
cf.Objective() has a lot of firsts. If you're not attending, you're going to miss out on a lot of world premier events!
We've worked hard to make cf.Objective() 2008 a "must see" event. We have a number of firsts this year that we're very proud of:
- The public release of Open BlueDragon on May 3rd!
- The public unveiling - and Alpha - of Model-Glue 3: Gesture!
- The public unveiling of Mate, the new Flex framework from AsFusion!
- The first conference to feature the latest rising star in the frameworks world: ColdBox - with an introductory session and a two hour, hands-on advanced workshop!
- The first public information about Swiz, the new Flex framework from Chris Scott of ColdSpring fame!
- Speaking of Chris Scott, we're the first conference to feature a two-hour, hands-on workshop for ColdSpring!
- We're also the first conference to feature a two-hour, hands-on workshop on agile development for ColdFusion developers by the leading light in automated process & testing, John Paul Ashenfelter!
How can you pass this up? $629 for three full days of brain-cramming, enterprise-level information in a hotel that's only $120 a night!
Register Now! The room rate is only guaranteed for a few more days!
If you're a Mach-II user - or thinking of using Mach-II - you might also be interested in the pre-conference classes.

No fair! No fair! Brian Rinaldi
leaks the upcoming Transfer 1.0 release along with the ColdBox-powered documentation wiki.
Transfer continues to evolve at a rapid pace. The SVN repository is light years ahead of the last "official" release (0.6.3) and 1.0 is "coming soon". Mark Mandel deserves huge kudos for his work on this project - and his intent to turn this into "Professional Open Source". In other words, making Transfer something we can rely on like we rely on JBoss or MySQL today.
Come to cf.Objective() 2008 to hear Mark talk in person about Transfer in two great sessions!

When I posted the session details yesterday, I forgot to post the four extended sessions. The
website has been updated. Our four two hour tracks are:
- Flex 3 For ColdFusion Developers - Jeff Tapper
- Advanced Techniques With The ColdBox Framework - Luis Majano - hands on
- ColdSpring 1337 - Chris Scott - hands on
- Agile Bootcamp: What ColdFusion Developers Need To Know - John Paul Ashenfelter - hands on
We're very excited about these longer sessions as we often hear attendees complain that a really interesting talk just wasn't able to go into enough detail in a one hour session.
We will be the first conference to provide extensive coverage of the increasingly popular ColdBox framework, offering both an introductory one hour session and the above two hour hands on advanced session!
