Re: Practice
I agree, examples are a good way to learn ( observation - a manditory attribute for any scientest) Sometimes looking at someone elses code, correctly written, can impart knowledge very quickly. For example, what kind of code will you find in the application.cfm file of a in production site, written by experienced developers would be interesting to a beginner. Unfortunately, entire web sites in CF may not be available unless someone is willing to post their entire code on one of the websites. - Original Message - From: Jeffry Houser [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2001 8:35 PM Subject: RE: Practice At 05:41 PM 07/26/2001 -0600, you wrote: I agree with Dave.

RE: Practice
True. I am finding that during this internship, I am learning best by jumping right into the code, and reading up on things when I get stuck and what not. I must say this list is a great source, like someone already mentioned, for information. Its fun to read about others issues and think about ways to solve them. Seemss like I add more and more everyday.

Hi, What would you use to substitute the java grid applet that comes with ColdFusion? I am using it in some pages but as you know, its functionality is very limited. Thanks in advance for your help.

Rather than point you to example sites, I'd recommend that you focus on writing code yourself. You can write whole applications, or simple test scripts that play with one feature of the language or another. You might, for example, read this list, then try to solve the problems that other people post by writing test code. This may require a bit more discipline than following examples, but you might learn more.
