The classic with an improved ColdFusion
I was one of the first reviewers here at Amazon of Ben Forta's books on ColdFusion back in the late 1990's. Much has changed since then. Most things for better. It is amazing how ColdFusion has updated itself and stood the test of time, even when many new languages and platforms have been introduced.Ben Forta's unique writing style, comprehensive but extremely clear and engaging, is still the same. Ray Camden is another great writer and it shows.One of the things (probably the most critical one) that has not changed for better has nothing to do with ColdFusion itself. The scarcity of books on ColdFusion 8 is amazing. And now with ColdFusion 9 the situation is worse. Even Adobe itself has not published the three Ben Forta books of this series in time with the release of ColdFusion 9. And as of June 2010 two are still missing! Meanwhile there is no shortage of books on, say, Ruby. ColdFusion doesn't deserve this treatment. And many in the ColdFusion community are...

ColdFusion 9 Vol 1
As a new ColdFusion developer I was a little intimidated about ColdFusion. I bought all three of the books in this series. I am working through the books one by one. I am almost finished with Vol 1. I have typed in all the examples and worked my way through the chapters.I was a little disappointed with the lack of errata for the book as I ran into typos along the way.In defense of the authors, the code for the book which is available on the Ben Forta web site ALL WORKS.When I was stuck I could open the author's code and run it and compare it to mine. Many times the problem was my own FAT FINGER mistake.But I was unable to find the typo of mine. After comparing their code to mine I could find my mistakes.And the authors have all been quick to reply to my comments and have updated the errata for the book as I have brought it to their attention. How many book authors can you say that about?I have found this book very informative and a great learning...

Excellent ColdFusion 9 Beginner Tutorial and Resource for Experts
I've been developing ColdFusion applications since the days of (JJ and Jeremy) Allaire, Macromedia and now Adobe. Back in the mid 90's Ben Forta wrote THE book on ColdFusion and he's done it again, with assistance from Ray Camden and Charlie Arehart. ColdFusion 9 Web Application Construction Kit is composed of three volumes. Volume I Getting Started, which I report on here, assists beginners with downloading/installing required software, server setup, database connectivity and starts the reader developing the OWS (Orange Whip Studios) movie web site. As you progress through the book, the OWS web site is enhanced throughout all three volumes. Compared to previous editions, local setup is much easier because CF 9 is resource integrated. I purchased all three volumes, because I need to get familiar with CF 9. Download and install ColdFusion 9 Developer Edition (free), ColdFusion Builder (60 day trial) as well as the authors files (web address supplied) and you'll have everything you...

exposing a database on a website
The authors dive straight into the details of using ColdFusion. A good start is made with the discussion of how to extend the Cold Fusion Markup Language [CFML] by you being able to define your own functions. Adobe made the wise choice of implementing CFML so that this is possible. Here, you can cluster functions into, what else?, libraries. The equivalent of the directory structure of a file system. Adobe made the wise choice of implementing CFML so that this is possible. Here, you can cluster functions into, what else?, libraries. We see that the existence means they can easily be shared, including of course publishing on the Internet. Readers are advised to check out cflib.org as a good prolific source of user functions. This latter website is independent of Adobe.Unsurprisingly, since Adobe came up with PDF files, ColdFusion lets you make collections of such files, called portfolios, because PDFs often have images, and there is a clear analogy with art folios.

Adobe ColdFusion Anthology: The Best of The Fusion Authority

Regular Price: $39.99 |

A compelling compendium of top contributions from over 30 authors
The book's title says it all: what you'll find in this anthology is a well-organized and compelling compendium of top contributions from over 30 authors on some of the latest and greatest developments as well as classic fundamentals in ColdFusion. The chapters appeared first as articles in the FusionAuthority Quarterly Update (FAQU), a high-quality journal that some readers here will know has served the CF community both in print (until recently) and always online by subscription.** Not just a rehash, and updated for CF9:"The Anthology" (as I suspect it may come to be known) offers a great cross-section of FAQU articles, edited and re-purposed for book format and presented in well-organized sections (more on the valuable editing later). Of course the book form will be great for reaching those who maybe never knew of the magazine.But even though I'd read most of the articles in their original journal issues, it's still a compelling reprisal of so...

Cream Of The Crop
When it comes to technical books of any kind, rarely can one find a single volume that provides the breadth of specific knowledge and expertise found here.The Adobe ColdFusion Anthology taps ColdFusion's brightest minds to provide a thorough and insightful assortment of practical problems and solutions. The menu of topics presented are both broad enough to satisfy the interests of the novice, yet covered deeply enough to provide novel insights to the most seasoned expert. Reading this book is like having forty-two separate one-on-one training sessions with the smartest people in the room at ColdFusion development shops around the world.

Product Description

Adobe ColdFusion remains one of today’s significant Web services tools and frameworks, and stands to become even more important as a possible primary tool for cloud development as well. As important as ColdFusion is and continues to become, we thought it would be a good idea to tap the leading authority on ColdFusion, the Fusion Authority. We asked this community to compile the most important issues in their developer and user experiences into one single volume—an anthology of the most current technical articles published in the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update.

In it, you’ll get the following:

The best and brightest ColdFusion expertise available today, from inside and outside of Adobe
The most up-to-date content with the latest releases of ColdFusion
Case studies and instances where ColdFusion is used in cloud-based development

Rather than take a soup-to-nuts approach that covers every single topic, including those that most people have learned already, this book takes specific items of interest and explains them so that you can hit the ground running, rather than having to wait until you’ve read the entire book.

What you’ll learn

Why ColdFusion is important for your Web Services and cloud application development
How the latest versions of ColdFusion can build cloud applications
How to integrate the latest ColdFusion has to offer with Flex and other Adobe tools in your workflow
How to use ColdFusion in pragmatic ways through examples, illustrations, and case studies
How to implement ColdFusion best practices, testing techniques, and more

Who this book is for

This book is tailored for ColdFusion developers specifically, but many articles may be of use to general programmers as well.

Great CF book - will keep this on my shelf
We have a new ColdFusion book! The CF community has not been blessed with an abundency of printed materials, so I was excited when I heard this book was coming out. Adobe ColdFusion Anthology is a compilation of Fusion Authority Quarterly Update articles. FAQU is a great publication that has contributions from many smart ColdFusion developers.This book is 476 and covers a lot of interesting things. I've been using CFCs for years but I learned some new things in Michael Dinowitz's chapters on Components. There are articles on all the major frameworks, there is even one on the new FW/1 framework.Pete Freitag has a good article on image processing that also covers creating your own captchas. Did you know ColdFusion can read EXIF data?!I also found John Mason's article on BlazeDS interesting since I've never used BlazeDS before. I've always been confused about the differences between BlazeDS and LiveCycle Data Services, and this article helped clear...

Required reading for any CF developer!
Coldfusion is a very different product than it was in the 90's. It's fast, it connects to anything and everything, and its a great server platform for a rich client style application. That said, there are right ways and wrong ways to develop in ColdFusion. This book will get you going in the right direction.

Good Introductory material
This book is a much-needed gentle introduction to ColdFusion Components and Object-Oriented Programming. The book assumes no background in CFCs or OOP so it starts by introducing the tag and script syntax forms of CFCs and, as the book unfolds, basic Object-Oriented techniques and patterns are introduced gradually with extensive code samples. The book doesn't go very deep - it's only 167 pages, after all - but it covers domain objects, data access and data gateway and service layers; it covers access control, inheritance, polymorphism and object relationships (composition, aggregation etc).I have no complaints about Gifford's grasp of the technical issues nor his ability to teach the topic - Packt's editors need to be called out for a number of very strange phrases in the text and a lot of inconsistencies in the language through the book, as well as inconsistent typography in examples (esp. capitalization). I've seen similar issues in other Packt books (John Farrar's two...

Interesting writing style - like his earlier CF8 book
The educational method used by the author is different and very to the point. Do as he says, the lessons need to be performed as they are being read to receive the value of the lesson. Written with minimalist background commentary. Refreshing and somewhat foreign, but an effective way to learn higher level coldfusion (CF9). I also liked the brevity of the first book (CF8). A little of this and a little of that covers most bases without ranging too broadly or too deep.Considering the paucity of any Coldfusion books available, it is recommended - another addition to the meager coldfusion library that I have been able to assemble.When is O'Reilly going to update their coldfusion tutorial/appendix contributions? Hunh? I liked their Coldfusion MX book.
