For as excellent as the docs are, I was finding that I had a hard time following some things. It turns out that it helps to have a small bit of OOP knowledge. I thought I understood the basics, components, etc, but I decided to head over here anyway:

http://www.objectorientedcoldfusion.org/

Man oh man! So many mysteries and half-understood concepts came to light. I knew it all, but without great clarity. Whoever wrote those articles is a hero.

So now a question of terminology: is a "bean" a "class", a "component"?

If so, that would make ColdSpring a massive object factory, right?

And the various ORMs are really just database abstraction functions.

And MG's job is to pull all of this together.

Is that about right?

Forgive the newbishness. I'd rather make a fool of myself on the basics now, than a screwup when it counts.

Thanks.
