@Ray - In the case of Fire, property can be replaced.

I have many NON CF Books that are very valuable, Head First Design Patterns,
Test Driven Development and JUnit Testing which I have applied to the CF
world for the last 12 months and consider them invaluable resource material.

In fact the last CF Book I bought was the Ben Forta series for CF5, CFWACK
and the other one name escapes me with all the tags etc. Most books I have
now are design patterns, coding styles, etc. Which can all be applied to CF,
but also many other languages as well.
