For all you non blog readers, O'Reilly's Web DevCenter has posted an article I wrote called "Top Ten Tips for Developing ColdFusion Components". It's a distillation of material from my book, and some of the great discussions that have taken place on this list. Let me know any feedback you all might have.

Rob,
Nice work on the document. That's a nice, concise document that I'm definitely bookmarking.
However, I had one (minor) issue regarding the shared variable scopes point (#5). With all the confusion out there regarding locking in MX, I was hoping to have seen a note in there regarding the need to lock within the CFC itself, especially as it pertains to the session scope. I think that a lot of readers will be relative beginners to CFCs, and not mentioning locking, even as a side note, in my opinion, could send the wrong message. Your particular example, a shopping cart, is probably the most obvious example of where locking is important.
Other than that, again, I appreciate the work on the article, as there are some great pointers in there.
Regards, Dave.
