Good to see more students using ColdFusion there is a shortage of CF dev's in Aus so the more the better. Good luck with the learning and hope you find the CF community as helpfull as the rest of us do.

Thanks for the links "Railo". I've already been using EasyCFM, and I will certainly go do some of the tutorials at Learn CF. :)

Thanks. I will look into CFCs tomorrow. I will also take a look at those frameworks, but with this being for a university subject, I sadly cannot use them.

ColdFusion's simplicity is also it's greatest danger when the mixing of business logic and presentation is concerned. You should be using CFCs for most of your business logic, but to take it to the next level, you should investigate the numerous MVC-based frameworks available for ColdFusion like:
