CFML Components: A Primer

ColdFusion Components (CFCs) serve as the basis for object-oriented programming (OOP) in CFML. Since Mach-II is an OO-based framework, it is crucial to understand CFCs to be able to use Mach-II successfully. This CFC Primer was created to give developers some background and history of the CFML language from the standpoint of enabling modular application development. The primer also intends to introduce developers to the power of CFCs and why it is important to take advantage of CFCs in building applications.
