Not ideal, but you could skim through the online CFMX developer's guide that's on livedocs:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhel p.htm?href=wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/default.htm I'd focus on the sections on user defined functions, cold fusion components and J2EE integration. If you're feeling bold, go for the flash remoting section as well and check out the new features in CF8. Beyond the new language features, the biggest change since you've been away is the upsurge in production quality open source frameworks. Check here: http://www.remotesynthesis.com/cfopensourcelist/ for a list. It's a long list and uneven in terms of maturity and currency, but you can get a flavour by looking at Fusebox, ColdSpring, Transfer and CFCUnit. Beyond that again, you have the world of OOP plus all the Java libraries and frameworks...but maybe save that for next weekend :) Good luck!
