Adobe Coldfusion 9 Exam Details

To compare Coldfusion 8 and Coldfusion 9, Adobe added one new topic called "Building advanced user interfaces". I really don't know yet the explanation of this topic and how it gonna be. As far as I know, Adobe didn't add some good UI features in CF9. Adobe should describe more details about Coldfusion 9 for their candidates. Ok, no complain.

Ok, time to upgrade CF8 to CF9 soon.
