As I was explaining my latest application to another developer this morning, I realized that I was a serious framework junky on this one. I like frameworks, but I also like to scatter in my own personal touches to them based on the needs of the application. In this latest app, I am using the following.

• Model-Glue
• Transfer
• ColdSpring
• jQuery
• AjaxCFC
• Ext

I was actually amazed at myself when I realized this. I also found myself thinking that the saying “standing on the shoulders of giants” is appropriate in this situation. I created an absolutely amazing application, in less time than was anticipated, and with an slick, easy-to-use interface. If it wasn’t for the hard work of the Rineharts, Resigs, Corfields, Gondas, Mandels, and others of the world, my applications would still be grinding along on my homegrown frameworks that, while they work well, don’t have near the feature set of these libraries.

I’ll add voice to the thousands who say thank you for your hard work.
