Actually, the current Study Guide already covers most of the material in the
revised test (except for CF5 features, of course). I have not yet decided
whether I'll revise the book or not, I need to work out exactly how much of
it will change (the CF5 test is not done yet). If it is not enough to
warrant a new book I'll post electronic chapter updates online.

A bit on the side I guess, but since 5.0 is coming out, is there going to be
a separate study guide for that version? I've been given the green light by
my company to start studying for the test... but which book's going to be
the one to study if I'm not planning on taking the test for another 6 months
or so?

Terry,
Congrats on passing the test, and I am glad the book helped. Part of the
reason that some of those topics were not covered is that there are actually
two different test, you got one set of questions, but there is another whole
set.
Also, FYI, when the test is revised for CF5 some of the topics not covered
will be included.
Again, congrats!

Subject: 4.5 Certification
just wanted to express some knowledge about the exam.... which I just
passed... =^)
my stats: 45 mins, 75% score... not bad, will shoot for 85-90% on the 5.0
one when it comes out...
but what I just wanted to share was some of the stuff that was or really
what WASN'T on the exam....
first off, I spotted about 8-10 questions that I would have hesitated on
more if I hadn't gone through Ben's Cert Study guide... So 8-10 questions on
a 61 question test is a big difference.... and it reinforced other issues
as well...
However, if you are only interested in the book to pass the exam, then
concentrate on Chapters 1-25 and Chapters 32, 35 (only the stored procedures
area)...
I was slightly surprised that the I didn't see one cfobject, cfexecute,
wddx, verity, cfmail or any SQL harder then the keyword HAVING.... guess
they cant all be impossibly hard...
but don't get me wrong, you do have to know your stuff... some of the
questions were tricky and try to trip ya up... I just wish I could get a
printout of the ones I did missed... oh well....
does anyone know if their are any other Allaire certifications beyond the
developer level available?
so I guess im going to Disney World now....
=^)
p.s. do I get any goodies from Allaire for being certifiable?? hehe...
