http://groups.google.com/group/cfcdev/browse_thread/thread/2e90c0dbfecf5a59 " Doubts about Best Practices" why was fusebox invented in the firstplace? to push people into doing something more than writing spaghetti code. but you gotta have an idea of how to fix it before you can fully appreciate the problem. Hence the value of learning about design patterns. See the Donald Rumsfeld quote at the bottom let me leave you with some quotes: ... two from Albert Einstein "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction." - and - "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." ... one I got reminded from by (of all people) Gary Menzel "Code for maintainance" ... and Donald Rumsfeld really sums it up "As we know, there are known knowns. There are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, The ones we don't know we don't know." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
