Learn Transfer from a Jedi
If you have not heard of Transfer or had a chance to take it for a test drive I have found another great resource for you. First off Transfer is a ColdFusion Object Relational Mapping (ORM) Library. The main focus of the library is to automate the repetitive tasks of creating the SQL and custom CFCs that are often required when developing a ColdFusion application. I have downloaded the framework before but because of other things going on I never really used it. This weekend I had the chance to use it in a real application and found a real good resource.
If you are just starting out you really need check Ray Camden's tutorials. He takes you through setting up the framework and shows some basic concepts. Ray while being an extremely smart (and humble) guy has a great way of explaining things for the rest of us. You can click here to the transfer articles he has written. If you have any questions about transfer shoot me an email. While I am pretty new to it I have a pretty good grasp on the basics already.
