I've just been taking a good long look at the framework Model-Glue by Joe Rinehart. I have to commend Joe on what he's acheived as I am very impressed.

I have come from a very procedural background, not really even taking the time to look into OO before CFC's came along, and only then taking a cursory look. One of the standout things about model-glue for me is the fact that you have absolutely no links between the different parts of the application, which is a complete contradiction to almost everything I have done in the past.

For me, this single point alone is enough reason to consider moving to a framework like this fully, especially when you consider the power then provided to you using these code units combined with CF(C)Unit and CFEclipse. These tools in conjunction with one another should give you one hell of a reliable, extensible and maintainable set of applications.

Now, I will admit, I haven't got all the way through the quickstarts yet so there are few question marks outstanding in places that I need to figure out for myself. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to blog about these when I can.
