Hey John, this is a very broad topic, so I'll try to answer what specific questions I see, and may go off on a few tangents or so, but hopefully this can help.
First off, if you are learning jQuery, you should focus on the basics first, and then worry about using jQuery with ColdFusion. Remember - KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid. And by that I mean try to make your learning experience with jQuery as simple as possible. Ajax applications typically load data from the server in 3 flavors. Standard HTML (Ie, ajax is used to load simple HTML), XML, or JSON. ColdFusion outputs standard HTML normally, so that's no big deal. ColdFusion can generate XML as well by manually outputting the proper tags. Lastly, JSON is a natively supported in CF8. Just check the docs. Ugh. I don't think I helped at all. Maybe we can start with some specific examples? Let me know one simple thing you would like to see, and then we can move from there. Cool?
