Makes it real easy.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I reckon this book is fantastic. I have gotten up to speed with objects in no time. I am writing CF now that has objects doing inheritance and composition and it seems so straightforward. Before this book I was bamboozled. The power of the OO stuff is awesome. I can't imagine now not being able to do things this way.It's only a small book but that is it's great strength. You don't have to wade through hundreds of pages so learning is quick. I can't recommend this book highly enough.The only issue I have had with this book is the super keyword. The book is written for verion 6.0 and shows a way to get around there being no super keyword available. As of version 6.1 there is a super keyowrd so that part of the text is obsolete. Anyway, it's only a few pages and it will still work anyway.
Techspedition has done it again.

Techspedition has done it again. In a refreshing and clear style, co-authors Hal Helms and Ben Edwards welcome readers new to all things object-oriented to the exciting world of ColdFusion Components. This book serves two purposes very well: Making object-orientation easy to grasp and thoroughly discussing ColdFusion components. Although it can be a quick cover-to-cover read, don't be surprised to find yourself dog-earing pages, underlining sentences, and propping it open on your desk as a reference to implementing CFCs in real applications. Bravo to Techspedition - I can't wait for the next in the series!
Covering both features and shortcomings
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
CFC are maybe the most important improvement coming from ColdFusion MX, bringing concepts borrowed from OOP to CFML. This book digs deep into CFC, covering both their great features and their shortcomings and it even uncovers a few bugs along the way. The author's main targets are developers used to CFML and procedural programming that need to get acquainted with the new, OOP-like, paradigm introduced by CFC. Still, seasoned OOP programmers may benefit from it as well, since CFC implementation diverges in many ways from many traditional OOP concepts. Compared to other books of similar size it can be a little overprized, but you should consider Techspedition is a very small, independent, publisher that really deserve our support
Simple, short and powerful!

I was a bit daunted at the prospect of learning anything about object oriented programming. The introduction of CFCs in CFMX seemed to really force my hand, and BOY was I glad to find this book focused solely on the topic. A lot of the other CFMX books I saw were huge and covered all aspects of CFMX. This book was a focused treatment of CFCs in depth and done in a way that let me approach the basics of OO in a comfortable enviroment.
CF Enters the OO World
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This is a very important book for ColdFusion developers, as we begin the inevitable shift from procedural to object-oriented programming. Discovering CFCs covers the whole topic: from an introduction to OO and CFCs, through simple examples, and on to complex heirarchies of CFCs. It also points out the problems and bugs with CFCs as they exist now, yet another reason to pester Macromedia to stick with CFCs and fix their problems. Overall, a must-read for any ColdFusion developer who is interested in staying current with their skill set now and into the future.
