You might be thinking, "What was the point of that since we still just wrote Saturday in the first line?"

cfquery loop

Need to review, and probably make more clear what's required during different types of query loops. Should also specify what you get if you reference query that's empty, or reference #rs.column# outside of any sort of loop.

Copy into Word for spelling/grammar check

Copy into Word for spelling/grammar check. I did for the class and corrected several small typos.

create a cfc for query and then call it from other file.

employee has many phone numbers, all stored in the phone table

Also change example to be inline with chef examples

add anchors to sections from toc

add anchors to sections from table of contents
