Great Object Oriented Tutorial

I’d been looking all over for a good Coldfusion Object Oriented tutorial and I finally found it.  Roy Martin has a really exceptional video tutorial online here.  What makes his unique is that it has been developed specifically for Coldfusion programmers who have little or no object oriented experience.

He does this by taking a small CRUD application written in an “old school” style (non-object oriented) and he converts it before your eyes to an object oriented version.  The source files are available for download and you can actually work along side the video as it progresses, pausing as needed to execute your code changes.  I found I understood what was going on so much more because I could see it translated to how I have coded CF for so many years.

I didn’t have to try and wrap my brain around a bunch of abstract ideas concerning apples and oranges, I could instead see my database queries and screens transform from inline spaghetti code to a modern MVC/OOP implimentation of Coldfusion.  Thanks Roy Martin!  :-)
