May 2 2011 Suggested OOP Reading For Next Month's Meeting

In preparation for next month's meeting where we will be discussing Object Oriented Programming in ColdFusion I'd like to offer up a few articles that my help some of you get up to speed beforehand. Even if you're an OO master in CF I'd encourage you to read some of these articles as they pose some important questions that I think we should all be wrestling with as developers. Enjoy - and we'll see you on May 24th!
