I don't agree with that at all. the use of CFCs doesn't necessarily have anything to do with object oriented design. Lots of CFCs are just groupings of functions to perform application tasks. But they're not really object oriented at all, they're functional. imageCFC for example is just an image manipulation CFC. It's purely functional, and not object oriented in nature at all. The java stuff underneath is object oriented, but the imageCFC itself is not. > > Should I learn it? > > I'd say yes. I *WOULD* agree with this. Even if you're not using CFCs for object oriented design, they're awfully handy. > > Does it > > gradually become the core of CF programing to use CFCs? For me, yes. In fact, when building a CF application, the first thing I do is write a CFC. Not true. I buid my SQL database first. At least, I write a SQL script with the tables and fields I need. Then I start writing the CFC. Then I write the presentatin stuff in the CFM files. -- Rick Root New Brian Vander Ark Album, songs in the music player and cool behind the scenes video at www.myspace.com/brianvanderark ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:298386 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
