Unfortunately the only CF book that touches on this at all is "Discovering CFCs" by Hal Helms (from Techspedition.com) and that was written for CFMX 6.0 so it is a bit out of date (and uses "this" scope because there was no better alternative back then - it also doesn't use 'var' scope which is essential for thread safety, again because 6.0 didn't support it in any meaningful way). The bottom line is that if you want to learn OO, you really need to do it outside of CF. A good Java book is "Head First Java" - http://headfirst.oreilly.com/ - and I also recommend Bruce Eckel's "Thinking in Java". For more in-depth OO / patterns / best practices stuff, you have to spread your net further and start looking at books like "Design Patterns Explained" by Alan Shalloway et al. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0201715945?v=glance Hope that helps! --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/
