Yup, 1.0.1, fixes the non-US date format issue. > Now I want to know more about how this whole thing works.

Is that right? Understanding basic OO will help. Understanding MVC will also help. Does this page help at all: http://www.corfield.org/machii/concepts/ (another shortcut URL!) > If I want to become adept at using > Mach-ii am I going to have to learn about OO Programming? Yes, but you can start gently. If you're writing CFCs, you're halfway there. Mach II expects the bulk of the logic in your application to be in CFCs but the display part is still just .cfm pages (much like Fusebox's display fuses). > 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? Well, there's a minimal amount of XML you'll need in order to understand the Mach II configuration file but it's pretty straightforward (especially now Hal and Ben have provided a PDF "configuration guide"!).
