Any Books on OOP With ColdFusion?

[Kapitaine]

Hi,

I REALLY want to start building apps in an Object Orientated way. Sure, my apps work fine and do the job, but it's a personal goal to become better at what I do.

I have searched for OOP tutorials online and the only decent one I found was the "I know Kung-foo" which is great, but I really want to sit down with a book the old fashioned way, or at least find a resource that could cater for most of my OOP learning curve needs.

Does anyone know where I can get one on OOP (if they even exist) or if there are any books with substantial chapters on the subject?

You see, it's hard for me to figure this stuff out because I haven't come from any other programming background, CF is my first language!

Many thanks,
Mikey.

Hi Mikey,

I would recommand Hal Helms Discovering CFCs: ColdFusion MX Components.. Really its worth reading..

Also go through his "Are you OO ready?" quiz,

Above all try to learn a object oriented framework like Mach-II once you gained some basic CF-OO knowledge...
