5.0 out of 5 stars Very good effort., November 24, 2001

By A Customer

I relied on Mastering ColdFusion 4.5 to learn what I needed to know about CF. The new edition covers the new features in depth and has good examples throughout.

3.0 out of 5 stars Solid information, but littered with many typos, May 7, 2002

By A Customer

Too many typographic errors for a book of this quality. Many examples appear to have been cut and pasted from a previous listing, then never modified so that code is correct.
One of the serious drawbacks of ColdFusion is it's simplicity and the ability to have new developers coding within a short time. These new developers will struggle with the errors, or worse yet, generate inefficient code.
Having used ColdFusion for a number of years, we simply deserve better.

4.0 out of 5 stars From a beginers point of view, January 28, 2002

By	P Szelesi (Rochdale, Lancashire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

As a beginner this book taught me the essentials of what I needed to know to start creating Coldfusion code almost on the first page. I created the templates they described and this gave me the hunger to read the inevitable 'lets sit down for the boring bit' chat. Totally changed my company's intranet and created good database driven pages which made addition and deletion of data easier. Everything I needed was contained in this book and now have the confidence I needed with Coldfusion code. The refence area at the back makes you keep the book at hand with both CF and SQL help included.
