I hope that includes both of the Macromedia Web Team docs :)

Note that even tho' the second one is mostly specific to Mach II,
there's a lot of advice about CFC and application design in terms of
OO.

I'd strongly advise switching to <cfset> and createObject() - it's
more flexible:
<cfset myObject = createObject("component","mySite.myComponent")/>
This allows you to chain method calls, as others have noted, and will
probably help get you more into the habit of using <cfset> and method
calls (rather than <cfinvoke> which I also advise against).
Why? I think there's a psychological "hint" behind <cfobject> and
<cfinvoke> - they look like old-school tags and, hence, old school
thinking; whereas if you make a conscious effort to switch to <cfset>
and use createObject() / method calls directly, you'll get a "hint"
that this isn't just old-school tags and it'll help you switch gears
into new school (OO / CFC) thinking.

Which just reinforces my point about psychological hints above...
