OO Design

Hey all I'm looking for information on best practices for advanced components - using inits, getters, setters, objects as types, gateways, beans etc. Some models on how to use these concepts. I have been hunting and can't find anything that is either comprehensive or clear.

Basically I'm trying to figure out best practices for modeling data flow abstraction but prefer to avoid sites that use phrases like "data flow abstraction". Ya know - a site that uses small words and lots of pictures - so idiots like me can actually understand what we are reading? But I'll take any information on how to use advanced components.

I bough Hal Helms' "discovering CFC's" and it is a great book but it is somewhat out of date and doesn't give a really clear big picture. I can seem to find anything else - either books or web sites.

Hey, better yet. Just wing it. You know, sit down with a vague idea and start typing code. Spruce it up along the way and see where it leads. Then put it out there and let everyone tell you what is wrong with it. Fix those problems half-assed and then go on to the next version. Repeat as necessary. This is called the MICROSOFT METHOD. :)

Just add 'coldfusion' to your very own phrase, google it and you will find plenty to chew on:

coldfusion, inits, getters, setters, objects as types, gateways, beans

Thanks much for the replies - I have looked at some, but not all, of those suggestions. I did quite a bit of searching before posting here. You can find lots of bits and pieces and arguments over esoteric details but no grand models that explain the logic well for some one who does not have an OOP background.

I have thought about digging into Model Glue. I may have to go that route. However, since I am now starting to work with Flex I'm not sure those models are applicable. Still it won't hurt.

Adobe - You need to publish a white paper on this subject - written by someone who knows how to communicate.

Thanks all.

Not sure if you are familiar with Coldbox or not. It is a nice OO framework with tons of documentation.

Anyone? I know some of you bright folks out there have patterns or models that are working for you.
