I believe Tony was referring to part of the ColdFusion language
(cfscript).
As far as a good book goes, about the only thing I've read lately with
decent cfscript coverage is Ben Forta's advanced CFMX app. dev. book.
The book touches on the use of variables, functions, if-else,
switch-case, loops, continue/break, etc.

chris....
nail.....right on the head!
that's what I was looking for, a book that really
goes in depth with syntax, real world examples, etc...
that I could take and expound upon....im not really
that good with writing ecma-type scripts, however I can
read/interpret them well, and now I want to be able
to really write them, from scratch....from what I see
on this list, most of what I would deem as the "best coders"
on here, seem to always submit the code that they
use, and suggest for help to others, in cfscript blocks vs. cfml
code.....
so, the question remains, is there one that really goes in depth
with cfscript?
thanks.

What does Fusionscript have to do with cfscript? As near as I can tell
there are no relation.
I doubt you'll find a book dedicated to cfscript.
I'd recommend my CF5 Beginner's book. The chapter on CFScript covers all
you need to know, and you won't be able to beat the price with some of the
more comprehensive
books. <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0072191090/instantcoldfu-20>;

Nothing that goes up to the level I would love to see :-(
A few advanced books on CF MX still have to hit the shelves, so maybe there
is still hope, but I always felt cfscript was somewhat neglected in books...
I know a guy who would love to read a dedicated book on the subject, but I
guess he is busy frying other fishes right now

I hate to put it this bluntly, but there really is not that much to say
about <CFSCRIPT>. And aside from UDFs (added in CF5 and surpassed by the
tag interface in CFMX) and basic try/catch (added in CFMX but less
powerful than the equivalent tags) <CFSCRIPT> has really not changed
much since it was introduced in CF4. The reason you have not seen
dedicated books on the subject is that it would be hard to fill a book
just on <CFSCRIPT> - you'd need to use tags anyway sooner or later.

Yea, FusionScript is mostly an API for using ColdFusion syntax to generate
client side javascript. Really neat API ...
I have some issues with implementing it -- mostly that it requires being
either in the custom tags directory or in the same local directory it's
being called fro... Since my apps generally use multiple sub-directories and
are designed with the intent of making them compatible with shared hosting,
there's not a good way for me to implement the current version of the API...
Plus, it's still really young and going through a lot of debugging and such,
so I'm waiting for it to mature a bit before integrating it into my apps,
but it looks very promising. Particularly the ActiveServer component which
allows you to pass data to and from the CF Server without a page reload.
This can also be done with Flash (and I suspect in some cases in future
versions of the API may be done with Flash in FusionScript), but the API
abstracts all this so that you don't need to know Flash to use this
functionality.
But it has little to do with cfscript. ;P

Speaking of the cfdocs lacking, the next time cf has a quick reference - how
about showing return values from a function?
For example my CFML quick ref says:
ArraySort(array, sort_type, [,sort_order])
helpful, but does it return a new sorted array or a yes/no?
String ArraySort(array, sort_type, [,sort_order])
would be much more helpful and clear in the "quick" reference.

Haven't heard of FusionScript before today, but it looks impressive.
Please show me where the differences are, but it sure looks like
FusionScript is a viable replacement in many ways for Flash Remoting
without the need to purchase an expensive app, climb that extensive
learning curve (espeically for those of us who know no Javascript),
or bother with creating special graphics.
What I've been considering Flash MX for is creating one-page applications,
that update "onChange" and FusionScript seems a relatively simple way
to achieve that. The tutorials seem simple enough.
What am I missing?

As a general note, this is the 'hand-out' from a presentation that Chris
Graves ( of RapidCF ) gave at a Connecticut CFUG meeting. back when
Connecticut still had CFUGs. The presentation was on, of course, CFScript.
Chris knows his stuff, but last I heard he was off doing Java-oriented
stuff these days.

If the reason you are looking at <CFSCRIPT> is performance then don't
bother. Sure you may find subtle differences, but honestly, in the grand
scheme of things it has little impact. Here is some test code I just
wrote, copy and paste it in CFMX and try it - it just does a bunch of
loops and sets in both CFML and <CFSCRIPT> and graphs the results (it
repeats the tests to account for inconsistent highs and lows). You
should see that the difference is really not significant anymore (in
CFMX).
--- Ben
<!--- Set vars --->
<CFSET tests=20>
<CFSET loops=10000>
<!--- Create query to save results --->

<CFLOOP INDEX="t" FROM="1" TO="#tests#">

The only reason I sometimes use cfscript is that in certain situations
it is a lot easier to read IMO. Those situations are where a lot of
processing or calculations are occurring without anything being output.
Although we can now use cf tags in functions, I would still use cfscript
where possible as it's easier to scan. To take a basic example, I find
<cfscript>
RS = Chr(30); // Record separator
CR = Chr(13); // Carriage return
LF = Chr(10); // Line feed
HT = Chr(9); // Horizontal tab
SUB = Chr(26); // Substitute
CRLF = CR & LF;
</cfscript>
easier to read than:
<cfset RS = Chr(30)> <!--- Record separator --->
<cfset CR = Chr(13)> <!--- Carriage return --->
<cfset LF = Chr(10)> <!--- Line feed --->
<cfset HT = Chr(9)> <!--- Horizontal tab --->
<cfset SUB = Chr(26)> <!--- Substitute --->
<cfset CRLF = CR & LF>

This is probably something you could achieve with FusionScript faster /
easier / cheaper ... from the sound of it anyway. The guy who invented FS
put up a chat room done in about 15 minutes with it at one point -- it was
really impressive: all html, but without "click" any "click" page "click"
refreshing "click" ... What flash gives you that FS doesn't really is
animation. Which is awesome, but the Flash API is overkill if all you need
to do is set a persistent variable on the server.

Personally, I prefer using CFScript over "regular" CF when I can use it.
First, it's much easier to set a bunch of variables inside a CFScript block
(IMO). Second, I find it easier to "read" CFScript logic blocks. Finally,
it IS faster when you do something beyond very basic stuff, and (again, IMO)
it makes for a more compact page of code. Add to that a bunch of _GREAT_
UDF's in CFLIB (http://www.cflib.org/) and you CAN actually mimic the
functionality of a good number of regular CF tags.

Just becareful with mimicing cfinclude. I would hestitate to say that
cfscript block would bring you any performance gains under CFMX due to the
compiling.
Do your own speed test:
test.cfm:
<cfset begin = getTickCount()>
<cfset finalIndx = 0>
<cfloop index="indx" from="1" to="100" step="1">
<cfset finalIndx = incrementValue(finalIndx)>
</cfloop>
<cfset end = getTickCount()>
<cfset total = end - begin>
<cfoutput>#end# - #begin# = #total#</cfoutput>
test1.cfm:
<cfscript>
begin = getTickCount();
finalIndx = 0;
for(indx=1;indx LTE 100; indx=indx+1){
finalIndx = incrementValue(finalIndx);
}
end = getTickCount();
total = end - begin;
writeoutput(end & "-" & begin & "=" & end);
</cfscript>
test.cfm results: 2107909460 - 2107909460 = 0
test1.cfm results: 2107965773-2107965773=0
Not that this is an accurate test, but ... where's the gain in cfscript?
In the above case, you'll see that the regular <tags> were somewhat faster
than the cfscript block.

Would it be safe to say that the underlying code generated by a CFSCRIPT
