What Can I Learn?
"Break free from procedural programming and learn how to optimize your applications and enhance your skills using objects and design patterns"
To quote from the publishers site, here is what you can learn from this book:
- Make your ColdFusion Components (CFCs) come alive with methods, using object inheritance, connecting to a database through the internal methods of our object/CFCs
- Create a Bean object, complete with accessors and mutators to set and retrieve properties in the object, including sample code for ColdFusion 9 script components
- Optimize and encapsulate your functions to improve code portability
- Introduce the Bean into ColdFusion object-oriented programming design patterns, discover the benefits of code inheritance and understand polymorphism
- Persist objects in memory throughout your applications
- Examples of OOP concepts and basic design patterns
- Create a service layer or façade to interact with your objects
Who is it written for?
The quick, honest answer is YOU.
The slightly more detailed, corporate answer is:
"If you are a web developer wanting to implement object-oriented programming with ColdFusion, then this book is for you. If your goal is to get a good grounding in the basics of object-oriented programming concepts, this book is perfect for you. No prior knowledge of object-oriented programming is expected, but basic knowledge of ColdFusion development skills is assumed."
