Hal was answering a question I asked about what to focus my learning attention on. There are a great many things in this world I know too little about, and like most people in our industry, I spend a significant amount of my time learning stuff. There is always more stuff to learn than I have time to study.
Therefore I wanted to get an idea of what was more pressing to learn about if I wanted to become adept at using Mach-ii. Hal's answer kind of told me I'd get more value out of learning about OOP than from knowing a lot about XML. That's not to say that knowing about all those things is a waste of time, because it's always better to know more than to know less. It's just that if I have limited time and resources, I have to work on the most important things first. But I'm sure you can get by without knowing anything about OOP, just as CF programmers have since CF1.0. It's only for Mach-ii it becomes more important to know about it.

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?
