Amazon.com Review

We're all equal on the Internet; anyone with Notepad and a basic knowledge of HTML can be heard. But when it comes to more complex Web interaction, the required learning curve means that some Web sites are more equal than others. Enter The Cold Fusion Web Application Construction Kit.

The book takes you from the very basics of the Web to the creation of complex interactive Web applications. Learn how to use forms, build and connect with open database connectivity databases, and retrieve data through templates and the Cold Fusion Markup Language. Use the sample files and the evaluation copy of Cold Fusion with the book for a true hands-on experience. While the average Web page author may not have the know-how to connect an SQL database to a Web page, this combination reference guide, textbook, and primer makes it all seem easy. -- Simon Eskow

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for new CF programmers, December 28, 1998

By A Customer

Forta takes you from the start of Cold Fusion and SQL. If you are new to programming and SQL, this is the book for you. I was writing data interface apps in a few hours. A great book overall. Worth the read. I still use it as a reference regularly! A must have for the Cold Fusion developer.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent for beginners, November 24, 1998

By A Customer

This book was fantastic. Sure there are the few editing errors common with computer books. I knew NOTHING about Cold Fusion or database connectivity to the web before I got this and now I've written a dozen or so Cold Fusion applications for the UPS intranet. An EXCELLENT resource for beginners and professionals with a tag index for quick referencing. A chapter on SQL also for those who don't know it. It will teach you everything you need to know to get your application online and running. Great Great Great!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest software learning books!, November 7, 1998

By	[e-mail] (Clemson, SC.) - See all my reviews

I read the first edition--and that was my introduction to both databases and Cold Fusion. It was a great book. And the second edition is even better! The author starts from very basic, and gradually takes the reader to the advanced concepts of Cold Fusion, all the time providing a real-life scenario-based development environment.
