Programming ColdFusion MX, 2nd Edition

by Rob Brooks-Bilson

ColdFusion has enjoyed widespread use among developers as a powerful, easy-to-learn platform for creating and deploying dynamic web applications. ColdFusion's simple, tag-based language makes it easy to handle basic tasks, like processing form data and querying databases, but the language is also powerful enough to deliver highly scalable, robust applications. And now that Macromedia has integrated ColdFusion into its MX family of technologies, ColdFusion is capable of interacting with Flash MX applications, which opens up even more possibilities. The first edition of this book has been praised as "the best reference book available on the subject." This new edition, Programming ColdFusion MX , 2nd Edition, goes even further, documenting new techniques for using ColdFusion MX 6.1 to develop and serve dynamic web page content. This exhaustive guide covers everything from the basics to advanced topics, with numerous examples that you can use for your own applications. Contents Programming ColdFusion MX , 2nd Edition, covers ColdFusion MX 6.1, the latest release of ColdFusion, and is packed with advanced strategies, insider hints, tips, and tricks for creating effective web applications. If you are a ColdFusion developer, you need this book to help you make the most out of ColdFusion MX.

You are only as good as the tools you use

Being a server-side tool you will find that it is not easy to find an environment with or that will allow you to apply ColdFusion.

The book is comprehensive on ColdFusion. A side benefit of the book is that it describes the environment in which ColdFusion works. This helped with better web design. Yet the real worth for me is the thorough coverage of LPAP.

I keep this book as a reference in case I need to talk to any ColdFusion folk. However, as I stated above the book covers many subjects better than dedicated books.
