ColdFusion Pros Take A Look At MTV Music Site
By: Doug Caverly
People love music and they love movies. So it makes sense that music videos can be pretty popular, too, and it should come as no surprise that a new site called MTV Music has caught the eye of the ColdFusion crowd.
Enjoy Metallica? Or maybe Radiohead? Take a moment to explore the site, if you want - we’ll be here when you get back. MTV’s gathered together music videos featuring all sorts of artists, and some interviews and live performance clips, too, so there’s definitely some fun stuff to see.
Now, we’ll move on to how MTV Music relates to ColdFusion. Two days ago, Raymond Camden wrote, “[T]hey have a nice API: MTVN Content API. Let’s see who can get the first CFC wrapper done.” Earlier today, Matt Gifford stepped forward with some things to say and show.
Gifford stated, “My main aim was to create a CFC that would bring back as much combined detail for the user as possible, all contained within a structure and arrays within. I am really happy with the results so far, and look forward to working on it to tidy it up, add more features, and release it to the big wide open(source).”
Also, as things stand, you can play with his CFC wrapper here.
Here’s hoping you have some fun with the concept. And since it’s almost Halloween, here’s a fairy tale/horror story of sorts not available on MTV Music.
