Hi Tim, Moving from intermediate to advanced is hard. You can learn to be an intermediate programmer, but experience is the key to be an advanced developer. I was trying to be an advanced developer myself, but it doesn't matter how many books or articles I read, I just didn't feel advanced. Then in the last few months, my boss wanted me to develop sites in cfc, mvc, fusebox 4.1, and stored procedures with MS SQL server 2000. Boys, I learned so much so fast. Combining with the stuff I have read before, I do feel like an advanced developer now.
With that said, Sean Corfield has written ColdFusion MX Coding Guidelines at http://livedocs.macromedia.com/wtg/public/coding_standards/printable.html Raymond Camden wrote CFC Best practices and tips at http://www.sys-con.com/coldfusion/articleprint.cfm?id=507 Other best practices articles that I know of are: http://www.benorama.com/coldfusion/patterns/part1.htm http://www.dintenfass.com/cfcbestpractices/ If you are going to do major applications, I really advise you to use fusebox 4.1. It helps separating business logic and presentation well.
