I'm pleased to announce that Ryan Cogswell has joined the Framework One team as a committer! Ryan has been providing excellent feedback on the framework for quite a while and always provides suggested code changes with his ideas. I've been incorporating almost everything that he has raised so I felt it was time to provide him with full Subversion access and become a full-fledged member of the development team.

Ryan's recent additions to FW/1 include a number of enhancements that make the framework more robust and more flexible, especially around error situations or accidental misuse of certain framework features - which all help developers be more successful with FW/1.

The latest enhancement from Ryan is the ability to string together multiple FW/1 applications as "subsystems" so that URLs can take the form app1:section.item and app2:section.item, allowing for modular construction of large, complex applications. New modules can just be dropped in alongside existing modules and seamlessly integrated! Nice work Ryan - thank you!

As the FW/1 mailing list has grown to nearly 80 members since I launched the project in late July and several people have sites in production based on FW/1, I'm going to start blogging more here as I feel it is now realistic to start promoting FW/1 as a serious option for CF developers at large who are looking for a framework that provides structure without getting in the way.

I'll be submitting talks to cf.Objective() 2010 and CFUnited 2010 that will introduce FW/1 to a larger audience (if the talks are accepted, of course)!

Hi Sean,

Do you think you will be attending webDU 2010 http://www.webdu.com.au/


It will depend on finances and dates...


Glad to see FW/1 is expanding and framework continue improving. Colleague and me are working on two smaller projects that we based on FW/1 and, so far, we are quite happy with it. Personally I see MVC frameworks as tamer of personal chaotic organizational tendencies. Also, simplicity is one of things I favor a lot in (professional) life. So, FW/1 fits me perfectly ;)


"...a framework that provides structure without getting in the way."

Yep, that's exactly what FW/1 is. It's a great framework.

Congrats and thanks to Ryan.
