With more than 75 of the Fortune 100 companies using it (and more than 10,000 organizations employing it worldwide), it’s pretty much a given that if you’re developing applications for the Web, you’re going to need to know ColdFusion at some point! Not to worry: Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7 Web Application Construction Kit provides everything you need to start creating Web-based applications immediately—including the latest version of the ColdFusion Web Application Server and development environment. Author and ColdFusion master Ben Forta starts by covering the fundamentals of Web-based database design and then proceeds to show you how to do everything from create data-driven pages to build complete applications, implement security mechanisms, integrate with e-mail, interact with Macromedia Flash, and more. From design and installation to application deployment and troubleshooting, this guide’s got ColdFusion covered, including all the features new to the latest version: structured business reports, rich forms, Enterprise Manager (which lets users cluster multiple ColdFusion servers on a single machine), and more!

Very Good Book. - Reviewed on 2008-08-04

I was an ASP programmer for over 8 years. I did some Cold Fusion programming about 8 years ago but nothing intense or very detailed. I needed to learn Cold Fusion again and I reviewed this book and thought it may help. I followed it step by step and I found it very easy to pick up Cold Fusion Programming. This book also covered many details such as custom tags, Cfdocument and many other programming techniques. I highly recommend this book if you are a Cold Fusion Beginner or if you need to learn some other more advanced techniques.

If your a CF developer you need this by your side. Alot of the step by steps are the same for version to version of this book but its got all the tags, and functions and their various attributes which is invaluable to your development.

I like this book, but it is way too big and I find myself looking for other things to do. It is just overwhelming, but it has a lot of good information.

I really wish there were Quick Visual Pro Guides for CFMX 7 like in previous versions. It seems that no one wants to write anything for CFMX7.

I would really like to see shorter versions of this book that works like a lesson plan.

In all, I really do like the book and would recommend it (especially since it is the "only" book out there that has about every thing in it).

I am a beginning CS student and even though I don't have too much experience programing this book teaches CF in such a simple and easy way. Don't let the simplicity fool you though, though CF is simple, it's also very powerful.
