Certified Macromedia ColdFusion 5 Developer Study Guide

by Ben Forta

Certified ColdFusion 5 Developer Study Guide does not teach ColdFusion, but serves as a review guide that provides helpful pointers for examinees. The book's coverage of topics is thorough, and it is highly readable in small bite-sized chunks. Each subject is presented in a clear and direct language, with useful and well explained code examples. Sample questions accompany each subject, as do references to recommended reading (product documentation, Macromedia course work, and existing ColdFusion books). This is the only study guide written by insiders - the folks who helped create the exam itself.
