A lot of times, the questions people ask can be solved with a simple dump of
the object they're working with.  I know this may be elementary to some, but
for anyone new, or anyone who hasn't thought about this, try using <cfdump>
and dump the object you're working with.  For instance, if you're working
with a query named "getRecords", try <cfdump var="#getRecords#">.  Or, if
you do CFDIRECTORY and have the results returned in a variable named
"getDirectoryList", try <cfdump var="#getDirectoryList#">.  There's lots of
other things you can dump if you figure out the objects or scope.  That's
helped me a ton just by figuring out exactly what data CF has stored in that
object or variable.  Then, I can filter or manipulate as needed.

I hope that helps someone out there.  Anyone who can add to what I've
mentioned, feel free, I'd love to hear other useful tips.
