FAQ-U 2 - OOP for CF and Frameworks
Yep, the second issue of the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update is not only in my hand, it's packed and ready to go to all subscribers. But of course, anyone who subscribes before the end of the year gets this issue as well as the previous one in PDF format as well. Trust me, PDF is nice to read once in a while, but nothing beats the solid feel of this journal.
As for content, we're talking an actual book worth of Object Oriented Programming for ColdFusion as well as Frameworks. 120 pages of it to be exact (20 pages over what we expected for this issue). But why listen to me when the table of contents speaks for itself:
Editorial

Columns

Features

And what's the email address/password for??? I'm confused :/
On the top of our list is to ask paypal about direct integration with that account or if we'll need a different type of account to make it automatic.
The un/password is to allow subscribers access to additional resources such as PDFs, code samples, etc.
I'm sorry if this setup was confusing. We are looking on changing it for the better. Making things better is why I'm up at 5:45am and have not gone to sleep yet. :)
And just between me and you, I recently read my first ever edition of the ColdFusion Developers Journal and the FAQu blows it out of the water! The difference is night and day. Granted, I have only read one issue of CFDJ and two issues of FAQu, but if I had a been a long time subscriber to CFDJ and then I found out about FAQu, I would have felt that I had been ripped off by CFDJ.
Thanks!
I'll send you another email anyway just to be sure.
Thanks, and keep up the great work!
