I just wanted to let you all know that I put together a presentation on XML in CFMX for this month's CFUG presentation - it went over very well. I thought I'd mention, for those of you that haven't had a chance to work much with XML in CFMX, that you can find my slides and code on www.cfugorama.com I cover XML - the XML DOM, all the tags and functions added in MX, XPATH, and XSLT. Just an FYI for those of you looking to get your feet wet.
