I wrote my MX book, back in the early CFMX betas. I'd swear at the time everything I wrote was 100% correct at the time. But by the time the release came around, most of it was wrong. I would have expected the MM press books to have a little more accuracy, but they have been hit by the same sort of thing.

In the Macromedia Press/Ben Forta Advanced ColdFusion MX book, he has a fair amount of text and examples related to the usage of the THIS scope (chapter 17). I was just curious what the rationale was back then when that was written (my copy is copyright 2003) to show examples related to THIS, but almost no examples of what is commonly known today to be best practice (variables scope, et al). Was that just plain 'wrong' in the book, was it wishful thinking, or has CFMX changed to where that was right then but wrong now? Just curious, since given the author list its tantamount to biblical doctrine. Or something.
