1.0 out of 5 stars This book is missing something - like useful content, March 10, 2003

By	Jared Vorkavich "bobcat1804" (Columbus, OH United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In a 750 page book, you'd think they would have a lot of in-depth information, but this book severly lacks in depth of coverage of every topic. Most concepts are only mentioned in a page or two, then the author moves on to something else. This book is poorly organized and the index uses only the official names for things, making it difficult to find anything. It's easier to find the same information in the Dreamweaver MX help menu. I'll stick with the "Bible" series next time.

5.0 out of 5 stars ColdFusion from Start to Finish, August 29, 2002

By	Jeffry Houser "reboog" (Meriden, CT) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book covers all aspects of the ColdFusion technology and provides information for both beginner's and advanced users alike, covering both server administration and CFML development.

While I didn't get anything out of the "introduction to CFML programming" chapters, I think a beginner would find them more appropriate.

This book really shines when it gets into the new ColdFusion MX features such as ColdFusion components and Web services. The chapter on XML was especially good.

1.0 out of 5 stars Another Incomplete Reference, February 5, 2003

By	MacDesigner (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews

Anyone involved in programming has bought a number of these books. Complete References. Granted, this is not billed as a tutorial, but wouldn't a "Complete Reference" take you from uploading a site to creating applications? Doesn't happen. It happens, but only with specific examples at the writer's discression. Cross referencing terms at the end of the book assumes you use the same CF jargon, that if you did speak it, would preclude your need for a fifty dollar book. Now I will look for an O'Reilly book that explains in well constructed English what I need to know to learn ColdFusion.
