I've got two ongoing How-to series on my site that may help you. The first covers many basics of CFCs and OOP with ColdFusion:
http://www.iknowkungfoo.com/blog/index.cfm/2007/8/22/Object-Oriented-Coldfusion--1--Intro-to-Objectcfc The second covers Mach-II, one of the major ColdFusion frameworks, and how to adapt to it from a procedural coding background: http://www.iknowkungfoo.com/blog/index.cfm/2007/2/12/Moving-from-Procedural-to-Object-Oriented-Programming-with-MachII-for-Coldfusion HTH, Adrian >Hi: >I am using CF for while now but I have no other programing background. I >used Lynda.com video tutorials to learn CF and some other online tutorials >like EasyCFM.com. Several days efore I recieved two new CF8 tutorials from >Lynda.com(Lynda.com ColdFusion 8 Essential Training | Lynda.com ColdFusion 8 >Beyond the Basics) but I got confused completely! David Gassner the tutor >has a complete plan to talks about many corners of CF but he starts using >CFCs very soon at the middle of the first tutorial. He mentions you can >never use CFCs and make all the application using simple CF tags but knowing >CFCs helps you make it more reusable and manageable. I found CFCs VERY >confusing for myself. I tried to learn it but I didn't get it completely. >Maybe because I have no programing background with other languages other >than HTML. What do you think? Should I learn it? Does it gradually become >the core of CF programing to use CFCs? Please write me your opinions, >knowledge and experiences about the subject. >Thanks >Benign ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:298389 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
