So, tonight it hit me why I think you, as a CF developer, should be interested in Kalendar!

As you know, I am the author of Kalendar. Now, some of you reading this may be well skilled with frameworks and CF-OOP. But there are those of you who aren't. Or, like me, are on the cusp of CF-OOP and maybe even examining frameworks. Like some of you, I started implementing CFCs maybe two years ago. I know how to use static CFCs (as Kalendar shows). I understand the concept of OOP (or so I think).

But Kalendar is really a basic application. Most of you seem to be able to figure out how to implement it, even though I am quickly finding out how bad my docs are. It's something that has taken many years (eight!) to perfect and still needs a lot of work. I see how OOP can make many of these things better, but NOW I have the assistance of team members who have these skills to help me along the path to making Kalendar a truly reliable and scalable application. As I learn from these folks on how to make a better Kalendar, so can you.

Kalendar 1.0 will launch soon. You will see some of the influence in this launch of all the new team members. I think if you hang along for the ride you will, like me, see how to convert an already good application into something that is truly Enterprise ready. I am more excited about Kalendar now than ever because now it has become a real learning opportunity for me.
