I Have A New Title At Work!

I am going to be the Senior Architect for our ASP model software package at work.

I have been cranking out features where I work for years now. It has been full-steam ahead the whole time. It is the busiest job I have ever worked.

A very large portion of our application was written in FB3 right before ColdFusion MX came out. There's nothing wrong with that if you only want an HTML front end. The code is fairly clean and well-organized. In the interest of time (and for lack of a better way), the application has continued to be written in procedural FB3.

For some time now I have wanted to explore abstracting our data access and business logic into CFCs. I tried pitching it several times. However, we never had the time and resources to do it.

Our company has been very successful in the last year. So, now, what was essentially a team of two programmers doing everything has grown to a team of 4 programmers and 1 designer. This has finally given us the resources to tackle re-addressing some foundational stuff in our application. And I finally made a convincing pitch as to why we should. So, I, as the new Senior Architect, will be doing just that!

P.S. My blog has been really quiet lately. Embarrassingly quiet. Hopefully, with my new position, I'll have some interesting stuff to blog...
