Learning OO in ColdFusion

September 20, 2009 · 9 Comments

I've been coding in ColdFusion since 1996, since version 2. When I see the old yellow books i get nostalgic. 9tear: Co-workers encouraged me to start my own business in 1997 and I spent 10 years happy and content in my 5tagger universe.

Now I'm a web developer for the Free Library of Philadelphia, a site that gets 20 million hits a month on average.

I've seen the light and am braving the object oriented (OO) world. This is the documentation of that transition.

Awesome. Will look forward to hearing tales of confusion, frustration, AND victory. (Probably in that order.) Seriously though, you're in good hands with the rest of the CF community at your side.

Would be interesting to see you how progress through your OOP journey - in our company we are currently assessing the OOP approach as well, however there are quite of few oppositions to the idea due to the performance implications.

Welcome to the light (or dark, depending how you look at it...) side! I hope your OO journey is an exciting one, and fun to read.
