Customer Reviews & Comments
Contrary to the experience of some of the reviewers I have seen here, I worked through ColdFusion 5 Training From the Source with neither confusion nor significant errors. What I liked about the book is that each task in each lesson was focused on a single, core functionality. These include tasks like passing variables between pages, connecting to a data source, working with web forms, form validation, creating SQL queries, displaying the results of SQL queries, creating customized user experiences, and creating web-based database interfaces (insert, update, delete records). Towards the end, the book moves on to complex data structures (like arrays) and coding methods (like functions). I think the book is quite successful in what it sets out to do: offer a sequence of tutorials that ushers the newbie into the world of ColdFusion. It is not a reference book and does not attempt to provide all of the answers. Nor is it an advanced book that will have you building power applications like a CF veteran. But the book does let you get your hands dirty, build several core CF applications, and it explains each step well enough that you know why do what you do, which makes it easy to transfer the knowledge to your own ColdFusion applications--which is exactly what I have since done.
