Getting back up to speed with things?

Over the past several years, work has revolved around 2 large projects for different companies that both used CF7.

Both being very low on funds for a developer, time has been of the essence, which left no time for keeping up to date with CF8, CFCs, etc.  

Finally at the point where I can take a breath, I'm amazed with how much has zoomed right past me.

Now moving into CF8, I've gotten a chance to play with CFPDF and other great tags, but still need to buy and read the latest CF8 WACK books.

I'm still horribly behind the curve, using out-dated <cfapplication> instead of Application.cfc, not using CFC's more often, etc.

I also haven't even dared venture into Flex-land yet.

For someone who's got about a decade of CF coding behind him, but with limited opportunities to use the latest and greatest, what would be the recommended course of study?

In need of some serious up-to-date immersion :)
