Mach-II is an event-driven, MVC framework which gives CFML developers a highly flexible and maintainable environment to work with.
To start off, I am a pretty big advocate of the Mach-II framework and entirely biased for its use. I’ve been using Mach-II for almost 2 years now and have loved every second of it. My background has been Java development, so I’m no stranger to object-oriented design, which Mach-II really prides itself on.
One of the biggest frustrations in ColdFusion-land, for me anyway, was the fact that everything was procedural. Meaning, the more code that you wrote, the more it would start to resemble something you’d find on your plate at your favorite Italian restaurant. Prior to using Mach-II I really pushed my peers into making use of as many CFC’s as possible, essentially generating my own framework of sorts.
