CF9’s cfscript eqv. of cfdump is actually WriteDump(), not Dump().

Hi Henry… Even though Micky doesn’t specifically mention the function name, a quick perusing through his dev code indicates that he’s using WriteDump() in his CFSCRIPT. Thanks for the clarification. In regards to the direct link of the MP3:

Thanks for the comments!

what’s the best way to learn cfscript in it’s entirety now that all this functionality is available in CF9?

Great show guys keep it up.
@Robert So far the docs can be sparse. I’ve been using ColdFusion builder to help me learn but much of it comes down to trial and error ( ie in script was just include “fileName.cfm” ) and basically the ColdFusion community on Twitter bouncing ideas of each other. I hope once CF9 is released the dos will be upgraded to show all the functions and examples in script aswell as tags.

You guys rock. I learned so much in that 1 hour that I had to listen to it twice! I dig the “hands-on” approach. Please stay technical and I’ll promise to try and keep up with next week’s, and the week after and… you get my point. It’s refreshing to hear a ColdFusion podcast that isn’t the same ‘ol “us vs them politics” in it’s delivery.

@Rob,
I agree with Paul. A good excercise is to take some piece of code you’ve written in tags and try to completely rewrite it in cfscript. If you run into any issues, feel free to send us an email as I’m sure we’ve haven’t run into all scenarios of how to do *something* in script.
A heads up in just in case some of your programming is interfaced based. When using import, it doesn’t import interfaces so the full package name must be declared in your return types like so:
public my.interface.package.IPerson function getPerson(){
}
I must’ve withered away an hour of my life on this that I’ll never get back.

OOOO Dumping in cfscript!? So awesome. Can’t wait for cf9. Sounds awesome especially with the new script syntax
