unfair: lists are OK! - loop over keywords to build a search query.
my beef is lack of error_reporting = E_ALL (PHP) or Option Explicit (VB/ASP) to force variables to be declared before using (stops typo's) but this is drifting off-topic. so far, the only people that support* CF for teaching (in accreted courses) is - Monash Uni (Melb) - QANTM (Bris) *explicit instruction and/or provide infrastructure + expert help (tutors) there must be more, surely? cheers barry.b -----Original Message----- From: Lindsay Evans [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 20 October 2003 12:12 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] RE: who teaches CF?

I think in this aspect starting in CF is perfect. Perhaps my biggest problem with CF is it's nasty habit of starting array indices at 1 instead of 0. AFAIK it's the only language that does this, which makes porting (and I'd imagine learning other languages) a bit of a pain. And lists. I hate lists. Lists are evil :) -- Lindsay Evans.
