Actually I think the background information is very valuable in terms of getting an understanding for where CF is in the OO pecking order. One caveat about the book is that it was written against CFMX 6.0 so it's full of this.foo and this.bar which is bad practice now (6.0 had no private data members and no local variables in methods). > I once read 100 pages of 1 of the Fusebox books only to find the first 100 > pages had nothing to do with teaching fusebox so I gave up and now its a > door stop. I can only assume you're reading different books to some of the rest of us :) As for Fusebox book recommendations: Jeff Peters book on Fusebox 4 and FLiP is highly recommended. -- Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://www.fusebox.org/ Breeze Me! -- http://www.corfield.org/breezeme "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood --- 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/
