Any one preparing for CF8?

Question

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

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

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

Read what people are saying about the Exam Buster product on
our
testimonials page (some early CF8 comments are already on
there):

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.
