Hopefully this is the first of many posts I will make about my experiences with CFWheels.
For three or four months now I've been learning/working with CFWheels. To break it down to it's simpliest definition ... it's Rails for ColdFusion.
I really didn't know anything about Ruby on Rails so I got a book (called Head First Rails) and in just a day or two had gleaned enough from the book to get a fairly good understanding of Rails. What I learned amazed me. What a beautiful, simple framework it is.
A handful of hard working developers have taken it upon themselves to create a similar framework for ColdFusion. That is what CFWheels is.
The whole premise is "convention over configuration." There are no xml files, and if you follow the simple conventions you can have a website up in no time.
Talk about RAD! CFWheels is it!
