3.0 out of 5 stars A good start, but needs better review, December 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Instant ColdFusion 5 (Paperback)

This is another fine ColdFusion book, with plenty of real world examples. A nice step away from the "Hello World" examples everyone seems to include. The biggest disappointment in the book was the typos and errors throughout. I found myself debugging code just because the author and publisher didn't proof read more carefully. A fine book, but purchase a used copy, a book with this many errors isn't worth full price.

This review is from: Instant ColdFusion 5 (Paperback)

I think this is a great book. Unlike most ColdFusion books, Instant ColdFusion, is not a "ColdFusion from start-to-finish book." It provides a bunch of pre-cooked applications and steps the reader through their creation. It will make a great addition to any CF book collection.
