Ok ok ok … I know that “maybe” before my time here there might have been a post similar, but as I have 5 minutes to kill I thought I would put up some links for cold fusion’ers to get some much needed info.
Channels with the Mirc client www.mirc.com
coldfusion - dalnet
(highly recommend, always on topic, and very helpful)
coldfusion - efnet
(also worth recommending, can stray off topic, but does have more members who frequent the channel, if thats a good thing or not,I can’t say.)
[removed #cf]
coldfusion undernet
(I’ve been there once, so I’m not sure, but it is available if needed.)

Misc
http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/downloads_updates.html ( If you’re running with cfmx, and haven’t installed the updater,this is the link, fixs a lot of small bugs, and will continue to do so in the future)
–THE DOCS, the phrase RTFM comes to mind,… but to be honest, there is a wealth of information in those docs, they should be explored.–
as with any language in this gendre would be a good idea to throw in http://sqlcourse.com/index.html for sql, … it covers the basics not bad for a free course.
And SQL is something that really needs learned 
Ok …I know I’ve missed a few out there, some of the links have older code, well most have cf 5 , some go back to the 4x series but I didn’t want to single out cfmx, as of now there is only maybe 8-9 links that are evolved towards the mx side of things. new things take time. But to give it a general cold fusion reference I hope this will help, if anyone has any to add, please do, just thought it would be a nice idea.
hope it’s of some help

)no worries though, . sbdi, i added planetsourcecode I knew they had vb etc, new to me on the cf code, I’ll look over that way.
