Product Description
Troubleshoot and Optimize the ColdFusion Development Environment

Because of ColdFusion's rapid speed-to-market, fundamental processes and best practices are sometimes overlooked. Optimizing ColdFusion 5 will help developers establish standardized coding practices and structured methodologies in order to build and deploy trouble-free, dynamic Web applications. Learn to ensure performance by porperly preparing the development environment, application design, and specifications. Minimize the risk of failure by utilizing design documents, browser compatibility, source control, and ColdFusion servers. This unique resource offers ColdFusion developers, designers, and architects a sure-fire way to efficiently develop and implement this Web development tool with troubleshooting recommendations, and optimizing techniques and solutions.

- Plan and implement your ideal ColdFusion development environment
- Maximize the cost-effectiveness of this easy-to-use Web development environment
- Improve performance by using CFScript, performance analyzers, and monitors
- Use code commenting, naming conventions, and directories to track pathways when developing in teams
- Logically model design documents for sophisticated development of complex applications
- Extend ColdFusion by integrating all the major languages and using custom tags
- Locate problem-solving and troubleshooting techniques on every major ColdFusion development issue

From the Author
Optimizing ColdFusion 5 is not simply about writing better code, although that is a big part of it. Optimization includes planning the development environment, integrating source control into ColdFusion Studio, and using ColdFusion Administrator to fine-tune your ColdFusion applications. Throughout Optimizing ColdFusion 5, I try to demonstrate techniques designed to enable developers to build better applications rapidly, and better applications that run more efficiently. This text is specifically geared toward the promotion of well-tuned applications, smooth projects, and great developers.

I hope you enjoy Optimizing ColdFusion 5. - Chris Cortes

5.0 out of 5 stars This book goes above and beyond, October 17, 2001
Great Book! I have been using ColdFusion for 3 years, and read many ColdFusion books. Every book I've come across simply tells you "how" to do stuff. I can only learn how to do a <CFOUTPUT> so many times. However, Optimizing ColdFusion takes a different approach - it takes what I already know, and shows me how to do it well. This is the first CF book I have read that covers the core development obstacles that we as ColdFusion developers and designers struggle with on a daily basis. Not only does this book analyze trouble areas, but it also shows how to improve upon application design, coding, and even some troubleshooting. I also liked that this book brushed on the Fusebox methodology, and discussed how Spectra impacted enterprise ColdFusion development. The information is this book seems to define the distinction between ColdFusion developers and ColdFusion gurus. I would definitely recommend this book to other ColdFusion users.

5.0 out of 5 stars I learn something new every time I read this book, July 17, 2002
By James E. White (Oak Park, IL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although there is some good basic level information in this book, it is not for the person trying to learn how to program Cold Fusion, but how to make your Cold Fusion programming better. The book has great examples and how tos of everything from setting up the Cold Fusion Administrator to writing better SQL statements. I particularly found the SQL statement information very helpful. The author (Chris Cortes) goes beyond writing simple SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, and DELETE statements. He gets into far more complex SQL like writing SELECT statements within a SELECT statement, and writing your SQL so that you optimize the speed of your queries. He also provides good examples of the new query of a query functionality that CF 5.0 offers. Cortes also offers great information on the proper usage of various CF tags and functions, not just telling you how to use them, but when it is best to use them. Overall, this is the best CF book I have read. However, make sure you know a little something about CF before buying this book.
