CFUnited 2005 - Day 2 - post 2

Day two at the CFUnited 2005 ColdFusion conference is starting to wind down for me now. It was another great day! The highlight for me was an afternoon session by Hal Helms on Domain Model. I almost didn't go because I wasn't sure what the talk was about. After reviewing the slides, I booked to the session because it was exactly what I needed. I am interested in moving toward using a ColdFusion framework for new development and likely using OO prinicples at the same time. The domain model is the entity/object/model part of MVC. Hal's overview was great. Basically the domain model is a software description of real world objects, such as customers, products, orders, etc. Creating a domain model has little to do with the programming language or framework you are using, but rather just describing the entity with something such as a UML (Unified Modeling Language) tool. I have a lot to learn, but Hal certainly whet my appetite. Thanks Hal!
