In Development
I currently have several new projects in development that are available to download in beta form. I'd like to get some opinions from others in the community before making a final release. They include an Object Factory that handles dependency injection and a file paths component that will figure out platform independent absolute and root paths.

Data Validator
This component makes it easy to set validation rules for properties in an object and form via XML or through ColdFusion programmatically. You can extend the base Data Validator CFC so you can add your own custom validation methods. The Data Validator acts as a wrapper for the isValid method which means this will only work on ColdFusion MX 7 and above. You can display error messages easily via an included custom tag. The download file does contain documentation and a plain sample to get you started.

Starter Template (CSS Framework)
For my development its always handy to have a starter template with a sample markup.html file (contains dummy content and markup) and your standard CSS. This is the starter template I use with any site I build and has proven quite useful. I recommend anyone to have their own as well. Along with the XHTML and CSS templates I also have some reusable unobtrusive JavaScript I tend to use across several sites. Feel free to use this starter template for your own development or to build your own from it.
I used to provide downloads for a CSS styled form and a visual consistencies CSS document but you can now find both included in my starter template. If you have any questions or suggestions send me an email.
