Stephen I would recommend grabbing a copy of the GOF "Design Patterns" book by Gamma et. al. and reading the justifications for some of the patterns. Of recent I've noticed a lot of "using patterns" for patterns sake or people shoehorning design patterns into applications. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying patterns should not be used, but you need to look at your application requirements and then look at the problems particular patterns address to see if you can make use of them. You also need to be aware of the consequences of any pattern you decide to use.
One big spanner in the works is that the patterns in the book are geared towards object orientated programming languages how well this translates to the constructs available in CF (or even CFMX) remains to be seen.
