There is so much misinformation about object orientation so readily available, it’s no wonder that even good developers are confused: one reads about service layers, beans, decorators, ORMs, inversion-of-control containers, Mach-II, Model Glue…—the list goes on and on. Is this what OO is?
A chorus of voices assures the would-be OO developer that by adopting all this, they’ll be doing object oriented development. But when adoption fails to produce promised benefits (greater maintainability, more code reuse, easier team development), the voices that confused buzzwords with knowledge are oddly silent.
The remedy for confusion and frustration: deep knowledge. Think you have it? Then try my simple “OO-Ready” test. See how far along the path to
ColdFusion OO expertise you really are!
