I'm a few days late with this, but I just wanted to mention that I'll be speaking at this year's cf.Objective() conference. The topic is "OO Modeling and Design", and if the schedule stays as it is, I'll be giving it at 10:15 am on May 14th.
I'm still thinking about exactly what I want to discuss and how I want to go about it, but here is the general idea that I used for my topic's abstract:
Object-oriented programming is quickly becoming the norm among ColdFusion developers. Unfortunately, OO can be hard to wrap one's head around, and confusion is rampant.
Join Brian Kotek as he explores OO modeling and design. Topics will include:
- The basics of UML and class diagrams
- Thinking about the model
- Design principles
- Indicators of design quality
- Theory meets real life
OO is widely understood to deliver the biggest benefit for complex applications that leverage large, behavior-rich domain models. One area that Brian wants to consider is the role of OO techniques applied to "normal" ColdFusion applications. Since many CF apps are "data-centric", what advantages (if any) are gained from adopting OOP for that kind of application? Come to this session to gain a foundation in OO modeling and add your voice to the discussion.

Congratulation. I am sure it will be an excellent talk. I am planning on convincing my new employers to send me to CFObjective this year although it doesn't seem likely :)

Great to see that there is quite a lot of OO stuff at cf.Objective() from guys who have been there and done it. Any chance of you coming over to the UK for Scotch-on-the-Road?
