An Architect's View: Sean Corfield's architecture blog


It's an architect's job to shift readily from macroscopic to microscopic views of application development and programming languages. In his architecture blog, Macromedia Director of Architecture Sean Corfield posts his thoughts about specific development issues and broader architecture topics that impact developers and their applications.

To find out what an architect thinks about on a regular basis, check out Sean's blog at www.corfield.org/blog/. His tagline: "ColdFusion MX, Rich Internet Applications, software design...and neat CFMX hacks!"

Since he started his blog in early June 2002, Sean has covered some of the following subjects:

  • When custom tags execute twice, and what to do about it
  • Web services and naming conventions: how to avoid surprises
  • Coding standards: public resources and Macromedia Web Technology Group's ColdFusion MX Coding Guidelines and Accessibility Coding Guidelines
  • Using the "this" scope
  • Declaring local variables inside functions: "var" versus "variables"
  • Managing public and private data members in components

He often updates his entries with additional information, corrections, and changes based on readers' feedback.

For another take on blogs, read the Logged In column by Ed Krimen, Macromedia's Vice President of Developer Community. As he says, "blogs are huge."
