New language for me...I need info.

[silent_08]

To all of you web masters out there:

This is different from any language I've seen posted on this forum, but I'm hoping that someone knows something about it and where I can get some info on it. The language I'm talking about is CDML. It was writen by Claris (Apple company) and it's main purpose is for incorperating databases into web sites. So there it is...anyone heard of it?

I worked on a (worthless) project a few years ago where I coded a couple hundred pages in CDML. I went from an absolute newb to pretty much a guru. I don't remember much now, but I remember it being horrible. For example, I'd have a simple if-else structure that would print one thing if a condition were true, and another if it were false. However, FileMaker Pro would evaluate the expression and print NOTHING. Apparently CDML uses three-value logic instead of standard boolean :) There wasn't much info about it at the time, so I just had to learn it by reading the (limited) documentation and playing around with it.
