Application Generation

TIme for a change

Thu, 17 Feb 2011 12:15:00 -0400

Wow - it really has been a while since I've updated this blog. The problem is that I have a bunch of old content here that I don't want to kill, but I also want to pull together application generation and groovy content from two other blogs I have, centralize with a single blog and also create a new site to make it easy to keep up with my tweets, conference presentations and various publications by category. Oh, and of course I'm locked with paying client work. Well, I *will* get this fixed up by the end of March. In the meantime, apologies for the lack of meaningful web presence!

Critical LightWire Error in Setter Injection for Transients

Sat, 09 Jan 2010 15:26:00 -0400

LightWire is a lightweight Dependency Injection engine for CFML that I wrote a while back and is being used by a number of developers and projects. Many thanks to Micky Dionisio for finding and documenting a critical error in LightWire. I saw the posting yesterday, but didn’t get a chance to replicate the error and post a patch until this morning. This posting clarifies what the error is and how to patch it.

2009 - A Year in Conferences and Publications

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 17:27:00 -0400

Here's a link to my new blog where I've just posted a summary of what I ended up doing with 2009 and some of the things I'm planning for 2010!

First Article Published in InfoQ

Code Generation 2010 - Call for Speakers Ends Soon

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 13:52:00 -0400

Just a reminder that the call for speakers for Code Generation 2010 ends on January 15th. It's one of my favorite conferences of the year and I'd thoroughly recommend it for anyone with an interest in Domain Specific Modeling or Code Generation. If you have an area of research or a real world case study, why not propose a session? Attendance is free for speakers and the attendees are always interesting, knowledgeable and engaging . . . Oh, also remember my blog is moving, so you should update your feed readers if you're still seeing this site.

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 13:47:00 -0400

Again, a little late, but I'm happy to announce that I will be presenting at the Software Practices Advancement conference held by the British Computer Society for the third year in a row. I'll be presenting a workshop on "What makes a good Domain Specific Language?".

New ColdBox Book Available

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 13:45:00 -0400

I know I'm a little late with this, but I just wanted to mention that Luis Majano's book "The Definitive Guide to the ColdBox Platform" is now available. I'm also honored that Luis asked me to write the forward, so look out for me just after the contents page :-)

CF Template - CFML for Code Generation

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 13:27:00 -0400

I'm doing a project right now which requires me to generate code for a Coldbox app from a collection of DSLs, so I'm updating/upgrading all of my code generation tools (for the last couple of years I've spent most of my time using runtime interpretation of the DSLs instead). I just wanted to point out that CF template is a really useful little project that might be helpful if you need to do any code generation using ColdFusion. See more at my new blog.

OT: Vote for an animal shelter

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:08:00 -0400

Jared (of cf.Objective() fame) mentioned that the animal shelter he got his two dogs from has a chance to win some funding if they get enough votes. If anyone could vote for them it'd be appreciated . . . http://www.care2.com/animalsheltercontest/76856?refer=21742.01.1257524353.776606
