Hey Joe:
First off, really been enjoying your blog postings on the OO stuff.
keep it up :)
Now...you've piqued my curiousity re: array of CFCs. I'm still
grasping CFCs (conceptually...why/how/where/when to use them
('correctly')), so I'm curious as to how you'd use them in this
setting.
Each CFC would exist only to store information (test number/answers,
in this case)? Or is there some sort of additional functionality that
you'd add that I'm just too myopic to see?
Thx!
Charlie
