4.0 out of 5 stars A great "Quick Start" to ColdFusion, July 25, 2000

By	Gregory C McNary (Louisville, KY USA) - See all my reviews

Obviously this book does not carry the same weight as the 800-1000 page Forta and Danesh books, but T.C. Bradley does an excellent job of covering the basics. The book is more of a "how-to" than a ColdFusion language reference. There are screenshots throughout the book, and the information is well organized and flows well from chapter to chapter. Full of "real world" examples, I would recommend the book to novice and intermediate level CF developers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good if you want to know how-to and not why, November 21, 2000

By	James E. White (Oak Park, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I thought that this book cuts through a lot of the formalities and gets down to what you want to do. This book allows someone with little to no experience with ColdFusion a chance to get your hands dirty right away. My only criticism of this book is that it could be a little more detailed on why somethings work the way they do. However, if you want to get started coding solid ColdFusion programs, and develop your general knowledge of the basics of ColdFusion, this book is great. On the other hand if you want more indepth explaination, buy one of those 800+ paged books written by Ben Forta, or one of the others.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing. Save your Money!, August 16, 2000

By	James Pimentel-Pinto (London, UK) - See all my reviews

I bought this book to add to my collection of Cold Fusion material (Ben Forta books, Mastering Cold Fusion etc.) but I was most disappointed. The author hardly touches upon any real principles and the examples are shown as miniature screenshots which you need a magnifying glass to read! Why not use the standard "fixed width font" code listings everyone else does.

This major failing of the book makes it hard to gain anything from it and I sent it back for a refund.

Buy Mastering Cold Fusion 4.5 by Arman Danesh instead : he's vastly improved on the earlier version and corrected most of the negative areas commented on by reviewers of that book to deliver a superb reference work which demonstrates real-world CF examples that you can learn from.

The only people who MIGHT benefit from this book are: a) people with Bionic vision or b) people who want a vague overview of Cold Fusion's capability.

A much better Beginner level book is Cold Fusion 4 for Dummies.
