Understanding Fusebox isn't really necessary at all. As Sean pointed out, there's not much "Fuseboxy" stuff going on in Mach-II. You will need a good understanding of CFCs and at least some understanding of OO. I tend towards caution, so I'd prefer not to adopt anything new on something where timeframe is critical.

Say for instance I am starting from scratch with an app. I have a bit of OO knowledge, but not like a Java or C++ programmer would have. (I own the Discovering CFCs book). I want to implement a framework/methodology to my new apps, but I am on such a tight schedule, I'm a little scared to jump in. Candace K.

I teach classes in OOAD with CFCs. But while those are specific to CFCs, there's a great deal of info on OO on the web and in a great number of books. It can be confusing assimilating it all, which is one reason I so strongly encourage CFers to begin the process of learning OO now rather than wait until a need is apparent. OO is not one of those things you pick up in 24 hours, no matter what some books may suggest.

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?
