I've looked through it briefly. It looks pretty detailed and seems to cover all of the major areas. Well, it should cover just about everything considering how thick it is! - Gary -----Original Message----- From: Declan Maher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2002 8:41 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Coldfusion Cert?

The differences are with the BB one you can keep your books and studio open if you want to and nobody knows so it may not be worth the paper its written on. If you do it genuinely then it is a difficult exam (CF4 version). You are asked unusual questions of stuff you may never have used. I certainly had never come across some of the stuff before. The official CF exam (CF5) is more straightforward. Hardly any ridiculous questions and a better reflection of whats important to know.I studied using: Ben Forta's Developer Study Guide which is essential and the Coldfusion Web Application Construction Toolkit. CF_buster http://www.centrasoft.com/default.cfm -This is fairly comprehensive series of tests similar to the real test. There are some tests on http://www.cfcertification.com/ and also www.forta.com. Take as many tests as you can. After all this I had 1.5 years experience at the time of taking and got the Advanced Cert.
