Not really. Design patterns, sure. But frameworks? Never. I graduated from CompSci around the mid to late 90s. We were still using C and Borland for all our work. It wasn't even until after I finished school that Java was even taught, much less framework discussions. I was always taught, "whenever and wherever you get your job programming, you'll learn that they probably have procedures in place that you'll have to learn in order to work well with the team that you'll join". I guess that was our "framework" discussion. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJQ Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:276937 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
