The Model-Glue team has put together an alpha build of the highly anticipated 3.2 release. You can download the alpha build now!
For a demonstration of these features, watch Model Glue for Busy People. This recording will showcase all of the above features to build a live application.
In return, you'll get a part in making the 3.2 release rock solid. You'll also get more personal time and instruction with the Model-Glue team in how to use these features.
On April 8th, I'll present Model-Glue for busy people. We'll go into a number of Model Glue features that combine to help you build better applications faster.
The plan is to build an application live, in front of the camera. This is an ambitious goal, mostly because of my poor typing skills :).
Through it all, we'll take a look at some ways to build out applications with no muss, no fuss. More info and RSVP info here
We've certified the latest build of Model-Glue. This build addresses some outstanding issues and also adds in some enhancements. Download Model-Glue now.
We probably should have made this a 3.2 release, since there is so much stuff baked in... but we already had a plan for some big features for the 3.2 release. This means you get all this great new stuff for free. (you'll get 3.2 for free too, while supplies last :) )
If you want to know what changed in this release, look at The 3.1 Maintenance Release Candidate announcement for Model-Glue.
Big thanks to the Model-Glue team for outdoing themselves in terms of hard work and collaboration!
Special thanks to Dennis Clark and Ezra Parker for finding the time to get these important updates into this release.
If this training isn't for you, perhaps you should consider one of the other pre-conference training courses. Some of the smartest and most talented folks have put forth training opportunities that shouldn't be missed.
This release is particularly noteworthy for the quality of the code and the amount of fixes addressed. Of special mention are Dennis Clark and Ezra Parker who collaborated on a very technical and important update to the way Model-Glue is initialized.
I'm pleased, as managing director of Model-Glue, to see a growing commitment to teamwork and creative problem solving. Model-Glue continues to evolve because of the many users who challenge the framework, and the many contributors who pitch in and make great things happen.
This post will serve to update the membership on the doings and transpiring of the Model-Glue team.
Below is a list of tickets we are probably going to close before the 3.1.5 release. If you want to express your interest in us closing a particular ticket, send us an email on the list.
If you know of a bug with Model-Glue 3.1 and want us to work on it, Submit a new ticket! Even if you've already reported it on the mailing list, please make sure there is a ticket in the system so we can prioritize it and schedule the fix.
We've been hard at work building fun and exciting things for all of you. Our holiday gift to the Model-Glue community is a revamped Quickstart and a brand new online Hands On Model-Glue 3 Training course.
The training picks up after the Quickstart, so make sure you know all the material in the Quickstart before proceeding.
It is helpful to actually go through the exercises, preferably typing each line out yourself. This will build muscle memory and help you learn the Model-Glue framework quicker. You can't be a professional football player by just reading books about football, can you?
Let us know what you think about the training, we want feedback of all kinds.
Let us also know if you have an idea for a new training section, we'll see if we can get it together for you.
Should you wish to submit a new training section, we'll be happy to use it.
Should you wish for more in depth training, contact us via the contact form and we can work something out with your team.

If you've been working on ColdFusion 9 for any length of time, you know how much faster and featureful the release is.
CF9 introduces a new ORM, called Hibernate, that will help you make data centric operations in record time. Bob Silverberg and Dennis Clark have put together support for Model-Glue and the new CF9 Hibernate ORM. Now, you can use Generic Database Messages and Scaffolding with the shiny new CF9 software!
A version of this is in version control right now. We are doing some final testing over the next few weeks before we push this out in the upcoming version 3.2, and if you want to take it for a test drive, drop us a line (or a comment below) and let us know, we'll get you a sneak copy of the new release for a test drive.
