I probably wouldn't say it's *only* for Mach-ii that OO becomes 'important' to us CF folk. I've been doing CF since 1.5, and all of my 'legacy'/procedural CF code will certainly run in MX...but won't take advantage of the new functionality in MX (ie cfc's, which are a huge step themselves toward making CF OO rather than procedural). So I would suggest that whether or not you use Mach-ii, just being on MX gives you ample reason to start delving into OO. That's the boat I'm in at the moment. Reading Hal's 'Discovering CFCs' at the moment. Only just started...so all I understand at the moment is that a cat is a class...and also a subclass of the mammal class...and inherits properties from the mammal class. Oh yeah...and cats secretly compose Haikus :) charlie -----Original Message----- From: Murat Demirci [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 14 August 2003 8:58 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Good News: (was RE: Mach II 1.0 ) Who is the audience? You say we, CFMX developers, need to learn OO. OK. I want to learn it to create powerful apps but how? There is no source for OO programming in CF? -----Original Message----- From: Hal Helms [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 11:40 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Good News: (was RE: Mach II 1.0 ) You won't really need to know much about XML, Michael, but you will need to know OO to do a lot with Mach-II.

The problem was I wasn't using US date format. In a jiffy, he corrected the bug so it accepted international date formats and now it goes. Like lightning it goes! It installed and the sample apps worked just like that - right out of the box. No muss, no fuss. Now I want to know more about how this whole thing works. I get the impression that working in the Mach-II environment is going to require a knowledge of object-oriented programming terminology that I don't have. Is that right? For example I rather get the impression that expressions like MVC - Model View Conroller are familiar to people who've done other programming. Is this so? If I want to become adept at using Mach-ii am I going to have to learn about OO Programming? I can see that amongst the disciplines I'm going to have to know well are XML, but I need to learn more about that anyway. Anything else?
