Any one preparing for CF8?

Hi guys,
While looking at the CF8 Exam Guide, I could see that some topics havent been mentioned in the Exam Guide explicitly for instance the following topics were there on CFMX7 but not in CF8:

1.6 ColdFusion forms(flash forms and XML/XSL forms)
1.8 cfchart/cfchartseries
cfreport
4.1 Event Gateways

So should we assume that the above-mentioned topics have been deleted from the scope of the exam?


Also I tried to do a manual diff
between the CF8 and CFMX7 exam guides to find out the new topics. Thought this might become useful for others who are planning for a CF8 exam before the CF8 exam guide is out. Here is what I got:

8. Interacting with Remote Systems
iii.Create and read Atom and RSS feedsby using <cffeed/>
9.
file()
10. Tuning Application Performance
iii. List and describe the use of <cfthread/> tag and the associated actions: join, run, sleep and terminate.
11. Delivering and presenting information
<cfpdf>
<cfimage>
<cftextarea richText="true">

I would request all the guys to have a look and fill in if I have missed anything.

Regards
Dhrupadh

    Hi Dhrupadh,

    Check out the CF8 Exam Buster demo product to get a good feel of what topics
    are on the real ColdFusion 8 Certification exam, at:
    http://centrasoft.com

    CF8 Exam Buster has 384 questions designed to help you prepare for all
    aspects of the actual ColdFusion 8 certification exam. CF8 Exam Buster
    allows you to take six different tests, 11 topic tests for your weak areas,
    and the ability to create random tests.
    All 384 questions have explanations and reference URLs to further aid your
    studies and build your ColdFusion knowledge.

    There is a DEMO version on the Centrasoft website
    ( http://www.centrasoft.com), which allows you to check out all the features
    of the program, plus one whole test.

    Read what people are saying about the Exam Buster product on our
    testimonials page (some early CF8 comments are already on there):
    http://centrasoft.com/cfbtestimonials.cfm

    If you're referring to Ben Forta's previous certification guides as the "CF8
    exam guide", I do not believe Ben is updating his guide for CF8. I could be
    wrong, but that's what I've heard.

    hth,
    Brian
