Model-Glue 3 (Gesture)

I can't believe I am so late to the party on this, but Model-Glue 3 has been out in Alpha for 8 or 9 months now and it has some really cool features. Features that are simply amazing and will surely save lots of people lots of time. Over the weekend I stumbled across a you tube video demo (Scroll down the page to theMG3 Feature Sneak: Event Generation Video) by Joe Rinehart. Really, the thing that I wanted to try out so bad was the auto-generated code. You have to be in development mode, but you type an event into the url and if it doesn't exist MG3 creates all the best practice code that you need to make that event work. It makes an entry in the modelglue.xml, controller and view files. It even creates the controller if it needs it. Very Cool. I also so a quick touch on SES url's in that video which was interesting. This is something I have needed for quite some time.

Ray Camden has a great blog post on these many features, I think he wrote it while siting in a presentation about this, so it isn't exhaustive but it gives you a great launching pad to find out more. His blog post is here http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2008/5/2/ModelGlue-3--The-New-Frakin-Awesomeness.

One of the responses on that page shows exactly how to get SES url's working:
