In this episode of the cfframeworks podcast we have an interview with Isaac Dealey of the onTap framework.
This is a great interview with a fun guy, one which I think everyone should listen to, there is so much more in the onTap framework than perhaps people are aware of. Isaac talks about how the onTap framework came about. Its elegant plugin architecture and some of the more novel features it provides.
Isaac inherited an interest in programming from his father who worked on various iterations of DOS, among other things. He started with ColdFusion 3.0 at MCI/WorldCom in the midst of their merger. When they finalized the merger his job vanished but he enjoyed working with ColdFusion so much that he couldn't put it down. Since then he's worked with ASP, tinkered with Perl and XML, and appropriated some DHTML DOM and Macromedia Flash MX skills, although ColdFusion remains his first love. Isaac's strengths lie in application architecture, modular/reusable coding practices, object orientation, and "content management"--whatever that is.
Isaac was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. There's a statue there of his great-great grandfather, George Bannerman Dealey, former editor and one-time owner of the Dallas Morning News, on "the grassy knoll" where President Kennedy was shot. His other interests include philosophy, history, anthropology, polyamory, intentional communities, theology, new age metaphysics, music, art and to some extent politics. He used to be an avid sci-fi fan, collect comic books, and play pencil and paper role-playing games. He's also a big fan of Cat Stevens, Jethro Tull, and a lot of one-hit wonders from the '80s.
