cfExcelProxy Rewrite

You heard me. I've been busy rewriting the base code for cfExcelProxy, my wrapper cfc for reading/editing/writing Microsoft Excel files. I was happy with the first draft (0.1), as in I was happy I got it to work at all, but now that I've had the chance to use it in real projects I noticed a couple of things that made it's usage a little, difficult. Amongst other things, I didn't like that I had to specify which sheet I wanted to do each and every operation on. Also, editing an existing workbook while using the existing styles was, for all intents and purposes, impossible.

That and a couple of other reasons made me realize I had to start from scratch. I'm currently working on 0.3, but the ultimate goal is to make it into a stable, full and complete release candidate for official launch. I've created a new branch (cfExcelProxy-rewrite) in the repository for those interested in seeing it grow. Just head to cfExcelProxy.riaforge.org for the Subversion info and feel free to check out the code. I haven't put in half as many comments as I would've liked, but hopefully my code is clear enough for you to understand.

More to come!
