I attended Peter Bell’s preso on RAD OO on Day 1 of CFUNITED 2008.
This was my first session for CFUnited 2008.

I think this link only works if you are logged in to the CFUnited website if you were able to attend this year, but the slides can be downloaded here. The connect recording of the actual presentation is here.

Some of my notes are below:
RAD OO:
- Patterns [enable you to quickly build OO Apps]
- Collection of tools

RAD OO IS NOT:
- Standard Approach [one size does not fit all]
- Suitable for all projects [some projects are small enough that they don't justify the extra overhead]
- hack job [not solutions to fix a problem quickly that could lead to hard to maintain code]
RAD OO IS:
- Fast
- DRY [Don't Repeat Yourself]
- Maintainable

Actually, most of my notes appear to be straight from the slides, so I won’t bother repeating them.
A quick Google search finds the presentation online in other places. This version is apparently from Web Maniacs 2008.

I got a lot out of this presentation, and plan to take the automation ideas and find places I can use them for my client.
