There is a discussion right now in CF-Jobs-Talk called "Indian Code". It says "I mentioned to the client that the code looked like it was done by a first month CF programmer. You know the type, pound signs everywhere, lots of CFIFs, etc. Didn't say the code sucked or anything, just that it looked amaturish." I tend to agree with this statement. Somehow beginners tends to use more CFIFs than the experts. Have you attend any of Hal Helm's or some of the experts' presentations? Their code seems to have a lot less CFIFs and more CFSET. They just seem to organize things better. I don't want to turn this into a big discussion here. If you have some tricks or tips to help me code better, make good/better code, I'll greatly appreciate it.
