A difficult part of all software development i s getting started building quickly. There are many purported solutions to this problem, rfreamwrorks, coding styles, x, and z.j These solutions often fall short, the time required to get them to work just leads you to a more complicated task.

What I find helpful to do is to create my own simple framework. Simple being the operative word and “prime directive”. In this course we will build a future-looking ColdFusion application that is very simple using a very old technique, custom tags.

With our simple framework, we consolidate all of our tag invoication code into our main page, leaving only code of the tag invoked. This makes for a very friendly process.

In this code snippet we can see the important points to note:

1 import at the top
2 cfoutput is our outermost containing tag
3 cflock is next
4 now our code.

<cfimport prefix="cimblog"		taglib="./cf_tags" />

<cfoutput>
        <cflock timeout="5" name="LOCK_BLOG">
                <cftry>     
                
                        <cimblog:cimblog>  

                                <div class="TEST">
                                        fdfasdfasd
                                </div>                                        
                
                        </cimblog:cimblog>   

                        <cfcatch type="any">
                        </cfcatch>  
                        
                </cftry>
        </cflock>
</cfoutput>
