You should start by pointing out where the power button is and explain its
function. With out doubt this will cause mass confusion and weed out the
less than fully dedicated students. Capitalize on your students new found
awe of you, their computer guru, and give a detailed explanation of the
other mysterious components such as the CASE, KEYBOARD, MOUSE, and my all
time favorite, the POWER CORD. Be sure to warn them that the CD-ROM,
despite appreances, is not a cup holder. At this point I highly advise that
you take some time to let your students complain about the flawed design of
the computer and why manufactures would purposely try to deceive their
clients by making the CD-ROM drive look like a cup holder. Chances are if
you don't let them do let them release their frustrations out now, they will
build a deep resentment towards computers for the rest of their lives.
I hope this helps you develop a course syllabus.
PS I almost forgot. Since this is a ColdFusion course it is of the highest
importance that you remind all your students of how much ASP and PHP sucks
compared to ColdFusion. Warn them that if you ever catch them near ASP or
PHP that they will be made to bear the full anger of this mailing list.

Your should start off with database design as it will be core to your
programming in CF and your fusebox methods. Good database design is key in
designing applications.
I would then proceed into Cold Fusion basics integrating your SQL. Starting
off with a project building on itself.... Kind of like how Forta does it in
his book, Employee lists, then adding a deleting, etc... Each lesson adding
another piece of the puzzle.
Once your "students" have a good grasp of programming into cold fusion
basics, you can start integrating Fusebox methods into that. It would make
sense go over what you did in basic CF and show how that then can be
integrated into the fusebox way. That way they get a grasp of how it would
normally be done in cold fusion and then how it would be done in fusebox.
Then give them a fusebox project to work on.
That would be how I would teach it.
