Customer Reviews & Comments
This book is well written. I've been working with CF more and more over the last 4 or 5 years and I've been buying this family of books since version 6. As with earlier versions, this family of books for CF 8 has definitely helped me get started with new features and I regularly consult them for ideas as I need to integrate new features into various ongoing projects and existing applications. This book does a good job of introducing concepts related to the new display management tags (cflayout, cflayoutarea, cfpod, etc.) and the new image handling tags. It stays within the scope of what the majority of advanced level CF developers need to know when leaping from CFMX7 to CF8. I do wish that the book approached AJAX development by threading the examples together in a "build this small application" style format rather than the way they're laid out now which is "here is a random example of how to use cfmenu, cfajaxproxy, etc.". It is only fair to mention that the Getting Started edition for CF8 does employ that format when teaching AJAX Auto-Suggest and basic Grid Design using the familar Orange Whip Studios web application. I have not yet bought my copy of Volume 3 so maybe it will go a bit more in depth on some of the database related AJAX topics - we'll see. All in all, this is another great book!
