I have done some C++ and Java programming, enough to understand OO concepts. I grasp the concept of methods and data in a class and overloading (something not in CF). Other concepts are a bit more foreign, but I'm a recycled FORTRAN programmer. > >And then pick an OO framework like ModelGlue or Mach-ii and get going. >ModelGlue is probably easier to get into then Mach-ii, but while still using >a pure OO approach (as opposed to Fusebox).

I'll look into these, but most likely I'll do a hybrid for now and try to migrate into a full OO application separating presentation from data manipulation. I think with the migration of the Intranet to CF will allow me to implement a lot of I think I need to learn. > >A framework (any of them) will help normalize how you work with your >objects, freeing up your mind to focus on the hard part, the object model >itself. > >Of coarse, this assumes you want to go OO, which you may not.
