5.0 out of 5 stars
One in a Million,
By Bryan (North Little Rock, AR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inside Coldfusion MX (Paperback)
Over the last few years, I've worked with ColdFusion sporadically and without great success. Everyone said how easy it was to learn ColdFusion, but I just wasn't getting it. I got a copy of this book as soon as it came out and let me tell you, the first few chapters cleared up all of the confusion for me regarding CF. This book explained ColdFusion and application development in a way that just makes sense. The authors don't numb you with ultra-techno lingo but explain each and every concept in a way that is clear and concise and they give relevant examples to back it all up. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn ColdFusion development, extend their existing knowledge of ColdFusion or even learn to administrate their CF servers.

Wow! Finally a book about CF improves my coding!!!,
By Dennis J Guzy (harrisburg, pa United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inside Coldfusion MX (Paperback)
Wow! I just started to work with MX from CF 5 and was worried about how well I would make the transition. Picked this book up and already I can see a marked improvement in my MX programming. Book was easy to follow and well thought out. I have read some articles and bought some code from author Neil Ross and he didn't disappoint here. Great book!!!!!!!This book is not like other books that come with a cd where the code doesn't even work. The site had all the code from the book and real working examples. Why are you not buying this book this second?!?!?! Go...hurry before they are all gone.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book for beginners to intermediate programmers,
By gena (Nepean, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inside Coldfusion MX (Paperback)
"Inside ColdFusion MX" is an excellent starting point for anybody who wants to learn ColdFusion from scratch. The book uses simple language and illustrates the more complicated issues of programming with real life examples, which makes it very easy to read and understand. Experienced programmers who have worked with previous versions of ColdFusion will find the book to be a great introduction to features of the new MX version such as XML and Flash MX integration, CFC's and more. A well-organized index allows readers to quickly find any topic of interest. Chapters in the book are logically arranged and well cross-referenced. Task oriented readers will appreciate not having to plow through the book in contiguous order to be able to grasp required information. Some of the chapters I would like to highlight as particularly useful are: User Defined Functions; CF Components; Application Performance; Advanced Database Interaction; and very practical Tips and Tricks. Additionally, the appendices provides an invaluable resource for the novice and not-so-novice reader alike. Inside ColdFusion MX is a great book and I highly recommend it!
