I’ve recently started a ColdFusion Design Patterns site and am starting to develop a catalogue of patterns from a CFML perspective.
http://www.coldfusiondesignpatterns.org/
I want the site to be as faithful as possible to the original intent of the patterns, but have the implementation modified as required to suit the CFML language. I would really like this material to be accurate from a community perspective so I am seeking feedback. If you have any thoughts on the content on whether you think it is useful or if it can be improved then I would love to hear.
If you have any comments about the site or on a particular pattern please post a comment at the Object Oriented ColdFusion Google group:
http://groups.google.com/group/coldfusionoo
Patterns covered so far:
http://www.coldfusiondesignpatterns.org/wiki/Builder
http://www.coldfusiondesignpatterns.org/wiki/Singleton
http://www.coldfusiondesignpatterns.org/wiki/Facade
http://www.coldfusiondesignpatterns.org/wiki/Iterator
Lastly, a huge thanks to Patrick Santora who has been providing me with detailed feedback and sound boarding on all of the patterns I’ve published so far.
Thanks

Looking forward to see Observer pattern, possibly with CFThread??

But you forgot the most popular pattern of all…the Big Ball of Mud!

Once the entire site is flushed out with examples it should really help out the community for both new and seasoned OOP developers. Good stuff Kevan!
