CFML Design Pattern resources?

As with all development, CFML via ColdFusion, Railo or OpenBD we run into common programming problems. For these problems must programmer turn to patterns (or anti-patterns). However the classic resources like GOF and the modern Head First books both tend to focus on Java.

While java is beautiful in its own right, all three cfml engines are essentially java applications, that said not all or even many design patterns can or should be used in the java way when writing cfml.

I would like to know what resources/patterns you have found useful when working with cfml? Or what you changed adapting a java or smalltalk pattern for use in cfml?

Personally I found both of these presentations to be interesting:

CFMeetup: Design Patterns and ColdFusion By Sean Corfield

and

Design Patterns By Cameron Childress

Update:

Stumbled upon cfdesignpatterns.com, looks promising.

Solution

  • For a site you may want to check Object-Oriented ColdFusion. Its still a work in progress, but it may help.
