McCabe complexity

[Steve Petrie, P.Eng.]

Pierre,

Thanks for your pmccabe research summary -- most interesting !!

A while ago (after much research) I decided to use DFly + Hammer as a 
reliable and efficient foundation, for my first website app (PHP + 
PostgreSQL).

I am working with DFly on a QEMU / KVM VM at Elastic Hosts 
www.elastichosts.com

Not enough experience yet with the EH DFly setup, to be able to give any 
detailed feedback, but so far it's been great (website not yet online, 
presently migrating to postgres from mysql).

My little ol' website app probably has McCabe complexity << 1 ?? For sure 
nothing remotely as complicated as winged edges or a filesystem :)

But it's good to know that I'm flying (humbly, gratefully) on the remotest 
fringes of a DFly community of McCabe Super-Complexity practitioners ...

Regards,

Steve
