I agree with John this is a good book for easing procedural programming thinking into OO concepts. As far as CFC's go I have not seen anything better than this book for that. Hal comes up with some work-arounds where CFC's currently lack.
Kind Regards - Mike Brunt Original Message ----------------------- It does not cover application frameworks, only CFCs themselves. It does not assume any OO knowledge at all. In fact, it's a pretty darn good intro to the subject, since CFCs are OO-like rather than true OO, so Helms just covers the important concepts you'll have to learn in any OO language It does not cover UML at all since that is a subject in itself. Other things of interest: there is a eWorkbook that goes along with it with which you can self-test your knowledge and work through a bunch of additional examples. Solutions to same are included of course. As the eWorkbook is NOT available through Amazon, you'd do better to just order both directly from the publisher www.techspedition.com -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Graeme [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2003 5:00 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Anybody have Discovering CFCs by Hal Helms? I saw this at Amazon and it looks interesting, but there's not a lot of information on it there. So here's some questions: Does it cover application frameworks? If so, does it adapt Fusebox, MVC or something else? Does it expect significant OO knowledge or does it do a good job of explaining basic concepts? Does it get into UML at all? Anything else you liked or disliked if you've read it? -Kevin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.
