The Conversion: Lay of the Landing Page - Part 1

In the last post  the groundwork has been laid for real development to begin. The data service, router, and landing pages have been created and are ready for code. The last thing to add for this part of the process is the Coldfusion component. A data folder has been added to store any cfcs relevant to the TRIPS application. The first is to write the CFFUNCTION that will return the list of trips. My development pattern for creating CF functions is fairly routine.  First, decide on a name, parameters and return type.  Sometimes the naming of a function is the hardest part.  I've settled on actionDataObject.  So in this case, the function will be named: getTrips.    At moment, the landing controller (landing.js) is empty. angular.module('core').controller('LandingController',['$scope','dataService', function($scope,dataService){ }]); The basic task of this controller is getting the list of trips.  First is the establishment of an empty tr...

The Conversion: Introduction

While working as the senior level developer for a small liberal arts college, I've had the luxury of deciding the technology to be used internally for custom applications. When I first started, the college was using Coldfusion 7, HTML, and many MS Access databases. Over the course of the past 11 years, we've moved to Oracle, are on CF11, and utilizing AngularJS / Angular for our front ends.  Coldfusion is still doing the heavy lifting in interfacing with Oracle. During those 11 years, we also found ourselves developing Adobe (now Apache) Flex applications.  Flex was a great tool - easy to develop in and fairly easy to deploy when Flash was ubiquitous. But Flex was not great on mobile platforms.  Hence our move to Angular due to the idea that we wanted to give our users a rich web experience. So over the course of the past two years, we've been either retiring Flex applications altogether due to the direction that some departments have taken (read outside vendor); or r...

The Conversion: Background - Development Environment

When we talk about development environment, that could mean many things.  There is the physical environment of where design and programming is done; the software tools that are used develop the application; and the environment where applications are deployed and consumed. Organizational My employer is a small college in Pennsylvania with about 2400 four-year liberal arts students. Our main job is to support the administrative staff and faculty by building custom applications that fill gaps in regard to the ERP system used on campus.  My position as Senior Application Developer falls within Enterprise Systems under Library and Information Services.  As far as developers are concerned, there is just me, my boss (half a developer) and one Application Developer.  When our department is fully staffed there are 15 people: 1 Director, 3 Associate Directors, 2 developers, 2 DBAs, 2 business analysts, 2 Application Administrators, and 3 project coordinators who interface...
