Here are a few things that you can download from my site:

• qatesttags.zip - Some Custom Tags that make writing automated test cases easier (requires CFMX)
• DogFood062702.tar.gz - "Eating Your Own Dog Food" - my BACFUG presentation from 6/27/2002 (requires CFMX; unpack into your web root and then go to /bacfug/062702/bacfug062702.cfm; click on a slide body to advance; click on a slide header to go back; click on the Macromedia logo for a table of contents; a linked * on a title means there are additional slides on this subject that are not otherwise reachable through the slide show - enjoy!)
• MXPanelCFC.tar.gz - the code I used to illustrate ColdFusion Component metadata at the 7/25/2002 BACFUG meeting (requires CFMX; unpack into your web root then go to /bacfug/panel/ and play around and explore the source code!)

One of the things that has impressed me about ColdFusion is the user community and the large number of third-party tags and applications available. ColdFusion also has some pretty active user groups - I attend BACFUG but you should be able to find one near you.
