This review is from: Programming the Web with ColdFusion MX 6.1 Using XHTML (Web Developer Series) (Paperback)

I found this book to be very informative and it is very insightful.This book is for beginners who have no previous experience in object-oriented programming. A little knowledge of HTML is useful, but not essential. All the concepts you need to are explained clearly in step by step fashion which makes it easy for everyone to understand.
