Just as a note, I would say that anyone who already has a grounding in OO programming is not really going to get much out of Hal's book. I received it yesterday and went through it in an hour on the train (the whole book is just over 150 pages in big type with lots of spacing) and it's basically an introduction to OO programming using CFCs as the programming medium. The only two relatively useful bits of information (for me) I found in there were regarding the problems and workarounds for private instance variables (or lack thereof) and no super (parent) class access from child instances. I thought that the sections on web services and persistance might bring things around, but they can be summed up in just a scentace each: - web services: use access="remote" - persistance: put the object in a persistent scope (application/client/session) Basically, if you already know OO, just go through the stuff you can find on the MM site and in the docs and you'll do just fine -- it'll save you $54 for a start... That being said, I reckon that for those who know little or nothing of OO programming, Hal's book will give you a good grounding.
