Problem here is you will not learn good techniques of you just stick to your copy and paste.

One is to get all properly trained, learn your basic computer theory first, such as the fine art of Basic, Octal, and Object Orientated programming through fine academic endeavors. Discover everything from the latest networking techniques to the real reason the internet started and exists today outside of Google. There is no spoon. The other is to have a boss's / client's / mother's cousin's pet cat's web site that needs to be dynamic yesterday and copy, paste and hack at someone else's code and refer to online resources like www.easycfm.com as if they are physical locations on God's green earth until your project does what you want. Both approaches get you there, and folk from both sides end up being haters and noob-callers. I am a self-taught Commodore 64 hacker residing in the latter group stirring the proverbial white porcelain pot in both. Specific to "Ajax" (quotes due to reference to the latest catch phrase for a fancy name for steroid-engorged "DHTML"), and the blessing of CFAjax in particular, more than anything I have learned how to debug JavaScript and CFCs. I have never opened the engine stuff apart from morbid curiosity. In time, I may need to work my copy-and-paste hack into modifying something... but with this fine level of support and others doing it for me, maybe not. Thanks to commercial competition and the pressures of capitalism, I may get through this life without ever having to program my own browser or build my own electric toothbrush. Sure, sometimes you have to re-create the thing in an effort to learn how to get where you want to go, but it is a last resort. Someone else builds the better toothbrush so I have more time to build a better candy making machine so some else has time to... and so we collectively build the Tower of Babel until we can no longer understand what we are talking about. Personally, my use of Ajax is an abhorrent aberration, a popped pimple on the face of best-practice, as I spew large chunks of HTML back and forth on a single page multiple times in a highly abstracted insult to Mr. Ben Forta and MVC frameworks everywhere... Not that anyone got down this far... Sorry, woke up on the wrong side of the floor this morning... no... really.
