Great book if you want learn what is the Cold Fusion. However, I had an error when I installed the single version cold fusion that it come with the book. I called the MCP/QUE user support but cut me off with the phone messages. I emailed them but no response.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for beginners and intermediate CF users alike, February 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Cold Fusion Web Database Construction Kit (Paperback)

Before I bought this book I had never heard of Cold Fusion (Except the Nuclear stuff in school). After using this book I had a database driven web site up in a week. If you are new to CF and do not have version 4.0, BUY IT! lots of great examples.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still use this as a constant reference, December 25, 1998

I have had this book for about a year and a half and I still find myself returning to it again and again (Probably because my memory isn't what it used to be). Introduces web designers to database creation for dynamic web page generation. Great examples that show how easy it is to create web to database integration. Shows uses of javascript with Cold Fusion. If you can't wait for Cold Fusion 4.0 to come out, get this one!
