Editorial Reviews

Product Description
With an estimated base of more than 300,000 users, there are an awful lot of ColdFusion developers out there. The cream of the crop, however, are those with Macromedia certification. To get that, you must pass the Certified ColdFusion Developer exam: This comprehensive study guide ensures that you do! In these pages, veteran author and ColdFusion product evangelist Ben Forta provides you with the inside skinny on everything you need to know to become a certified ColdFusion MX 7 developer. Organized as a series of tightly focused review sessions that follow the same subject divisions as the test itself, this thoroughly updated study guide covers all that’s new in ColdFusion—structured business reports, rich forms, Enterprise Manager (which lets users cluster multiple ColdFusion servers on a single machine), and more—as well as every major feature and skill: variables and expressions, data types, services and protocols, databases, tuning and optimization. Each short chapter includes well-explained code examples, and a companion Web site rounds out the package.

About the Author
Ben Forta is Macromedia's Senior ColdFusion Product Evangelist. He has two decades of experience in the computer industry and is a much sought after speaker and lecturer. Ben is also the author of the popular ColdFusion Web Application Construction Kit and its companion volume Advanced ColdFusion Application Development, as well as books on SQL, JSP (JavaServer Pages), WAP, and other technologies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what you need, July 6, 2005

By	B. G. Moss "CFMX 7" (Virginia Beach, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just returned from taking the CFMX 7 Developer Exam and passed! Ben did an excellent job (as he always does) with laying out the key concepts and things you need to pay attention to for the exam. This book is a must read!

Other resources I recommend using:
1. Web Application Construction Kit for CFMX7 - there are "little" things noted here that are not in the study guide that proved very handy.
2. CFMX Exam Buster (from CentraSoft) - tons of questions in a test-type environment.
3. EXPERIENCE!!! Nothing beats hands-on experience. Take the concepts in the books and build a couple of sample apps to see them in action.

All in all, the study guide was an excellent guide (no pun intended) in breaking down concepts and preparing for the test.

Thanks Ben for your great work and contributions to CF!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Review, but it's not the only thing you need, August 24, 2005

By	Thomas A. Windelborn (New Jersey) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is fantastic for reviewing for the Coldfusion MX7 Developer Exam, but it's not the only book you'll need to use for reference. The questions on the actual exam most closely resembled the review questions in this book, as well as CentraSoft's Exam Buster product; LearnByHeart.com's exams were much too function concentrated. Do yourself a favor, do not take Forta.com's test until you've completely finished the entire book, you will learn much more about what you need to study more heavily. I think that if you just hold off on taking Forta's sample test, you could probably pass by just using this book and developing a few applications on your own. I took the test yesterday and scored an 80%; not quite enough for Advanced status, but close enough for me. If for nothing else after reading the Web Application Construction Kit and Advanced Development, this book goes through the subjects of ColdFusion that you may not realize you need to know if you aren't a server administrator. I would definately say that this book is essential if you are trying to get your certification.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the money, May 12, 2007

By	K. Ray (Lake Worth, FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an invaluable resource for Cold Fusion developers seeking certification through Adobe or Brainbench. I give it 4 stars because of the inexcusable number of typos.
